Good for you for being honest and telling your partner that you have an STD. It can be a scary thing to do, and even if it did not turn out the way you hoped, you were honest and brave. You should be proud of yourself for that.
Unfortunately, no matter how honest you are about your STD status, you cannot control how a partner will react. Something to remember is that just as there are experiences like the one you had, there are good ones, too. There are people who will be willing to learn about your particular STD, talk to you about it and do what they can to protect themselves.
You can also check out the American Sexual Health Association’s website. It has a lot of resources for people living with STDs, including advice about telling partners, ways to protect partners from being infected and information about local support groups.
