Featured Dilemma:

Genital Herpes Problem

Dear  Troubled,

That's a toughie, and you're going to have to do some thinking. Whatever you decide, don't do the halfsies thing, where you are sorta together. You two will just end up hurting each other. If you're head over heels crazy about him, and you want him in your life for a long time,  try to talk about it, expressing your deep feelings. If you're too uncertain, call things off for now. You know what they say, "if you love somebody, set them free." And if they come back to you, then it was meant to be. If they don't, then you were meant to move on to someone new!  You two are still young, and people change quite a bit .

Good luck!

Dear Dr. Root,

I have a serious dilemma. I was diagnosed with genital herpes a year ago.  I was infected by my boyfriend of three years.  We were supposed to be in a monogamous relationship, the problem is I'm with a new guy I care for dearly.  We have only been together two months and engage in protected sex (always), should I tell this man what is really going on.  If I do he is likely to leave or spread my condition around the way.  I mean who is to say he doesn't have something too?

Sincerely,
Confused,
Brookyln, NY.
