Of course I know you are to tell the person BEFORE you have sex, but my question is do you tell them immediately when you start dating them, or do you wait until you know if the relationship is going to go anywhere and you are planning on sex with this person?
I ask this because I don't think it's right to put ones business out there to just anyone, but at the same time, if you are dating that person for months with no sex and then tell them and they can't deal with it, they might be upset that you didn't tell them sooner.

I usually tell the person about a week or two after we started dating. I definitely tell them before we have sex or do anything sexual, but it's not one of the first things I tell them.
I don't wait months, because then someone can get attached and when you give them the news they might be shocked and upset that you waited so long to tell them. But, if you tell them after a week or so of dating, then they have the opportunity to either hit the road, or see where things can lead to. It's hard for someone to get really attached to you aftering only dating a week or so.
I told my fiance (boyfriend at the time) about a week after we started dating. We had known each other for about a month and a half, but never dated. He was perfectly fine with it. He could care less that I have genital herpes. He loves me for me - virus and all.
Take care!
