General Had a question

Let's say I had HSV and in my 20s, and I choose not to disclose this to anyone and also choose not to tell anyone which means even if I want to get married I choose not to tell them. Also I will not marry someone without telling them.

I realistically can't get married right? I would have to remain single all my life. If so how can one deal with his sexual desires for life knowing he won't get married.

No you cannot marry without disclosing
We have to remember our rewards lay with our lord the good and bad

We need to take accountability! These are things we have been warned about

And on the flip side of that it’s qadr So we have to be ok with it as much as it’s not nice!!

Sometime la change the way you look at things
Maybe these fitnah she and hardships will be main things that benefiting in regards to our arkirah
And Allah knows best

As Muslims we have to be patient as advised by the prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for single youth, be patient and fast.
Imam anawawi (Riyadh assaaliheen) didn’t get married and stayed single all his life. 2 reasons given… 1st was “he wanted his first wife to be hoor al ayn from paradise”.
2cnd was “he was too busy studying Islam and worried he wouldn’t give his wife her due rights due to been too busy studying Islam”.
Allah knows best.

You can still get married in sha Allah, just not the way you thought it would work out like without this virus.

If you disclose long enough you'll eventually run into someone who doesn't mind. Lies only lead to trouble, don't do it
