Women who have an incurable std, how does it affect your dating life?

It definitely is scary finding out but as soon as I did I went on a deep dive and was like ehhh I’ll worry when the time comes. My gyno is awesome and was the exact same way as yours, just ensuring I was well informed about HPV and she was also nonchalant about the whole thing so it was kind of like if she isn’t too concerned why should I be? I’ve been seeing her for 3 ish years now so I trust her wholeheartedly. My strain is expected to clear up within 2 years but I definitely do get anxiety from having the “talk” due to the stigma surrounding STIs even though everyone I’ve told doesn’t necessarily care nor did they have a negative reaction to it. I just need to remind myself it’s extremely common lol
