True love and an STD...?

It'd be nice to say I'd be above that and say it doesn't matter, but probably not.  Especially early in the relationship, you're not that attached to the person.\n\nHerpes is PERMANENT.  If you get it, you got it, for good.  Unless you think the person is also a permanent fixture, I'd get outta dodge.\n\nOh, and since Herpes is spread by skin contact, condoms are much less effective in preventing it than say HIV.

Get yourself tested for STDs ASAP, especially HIV.\nSecondly, as tough as it may be for you, leave him. He's told you he wants to do it again, and he will, with or without your consent. His behavior will also put you at risk.

loving sex is all about nature. Just don't try to get transmitted diseases that are uncureable. Sex is good for you and its all natural stuff.

Having an STD is scary and upsetting, especially when you don't know when you got it, or from whom.  Just be there for her to talk her frustrations out.  Don't treat her any differently and reassure her that there are millions of people who live happy and full lives with some STD's.  This is just something new, that she has to gain control of.  And remind her that no matter what she has to be strong, she has a baby that depends on her.

True love is a path. You have to take steps down the path to get to the end of the path. Acquaintance - friendship - deep friendship - true love, where the ultimate commitment of marriage to this person is wholly desired. \n\nThe problem today is that boy meets girl, jumps in bed with her. Great. Soon finds out he doesn't even like her. She doesn't like him. So the mistake is repeated ad infinitum. True love is rarely found this way because you generally get stuck to one of the gals or men you have shacked up with somewhere down the line. You become cynical. No such thing as true love, you think. In today's world the cart is put before the horse. We want the intimacy, the sex, but don't want to wait to get to know a person. We don't walk the path but cut to the end of the line. That is not how you find a soul mate or true love.

True love leads to sex. Sex keeps the fire stoked.

Ok, I'm no expert but I do work in the medical feild. First off let me say that most STD's can only be transmited through sexual intercourse. I'm sure there are some exceptions, but most STD's cannot sustain homeostasis out side of the host body. However, some STD's can spread through contact with other bodily fulids such as, blood, salivia, and of course semen, or sperm. Ok but keep in mind that all has to do with the type of STD your talking about. But I think it's safe to assume that if you sit on the toilet your probably not going to get the STD from that person. I don't understand the exact method of contraction but I dont think it's going to happen since your not exchanging bodily fulids with this individual. I always just use one of those seat protectors when they are avalible at work. Because I'm a guy and guy's are dirty; so you can never be to carefull. But if your living with someone with an STD...I'd probably freak out! I don't know, but I'd keep some kind of house hold cleaner/disinfectant handy in the bathroom. Also you might want to talk to this person about it. Some (a very select few) STD's are curable. Most people tend to ingnore it, or be in denyle about the problem, or just not even know it exsist. Some STD's symptoms don't even show up for a long time. It just depends on the STD. But whoever you are talking about could just be too embarrassed to do anything. Suport might just be the best thing, dispite how grose and discusting that person may be...and their little friend down there. And what I mean by support is, SUPPORT TO HAVE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT IT! You know it's grose, but some people don't tell their partner that they have an STD. Oh and genital warts are curable no matter the sex, I don't know about Hepitius C, I think thats the one that you can take something for and it keeps it from transmiting and flaring up, but don't quote me. Ok well now that I'm done grosing you out, I hope I helped in some way. And your right it's not fair these promiscuous people keep spreading this shit around cause their to horny to control themsevles and USE A DAM CONDOM!!

Make sure its his first, get a paternity test. I wouldnt give up your plans for him, go to medical school, he can travel back and forth to see his child. You can always move closer when you're done. Dont give up your dreams because of his mistake. Make him get tested for STDs too, he obviously had unprotected sex. Sorry this happened

Not necessarily.   STD is short for "Sexually Transmitted Disease"...... and  there are many types.\n\nHIV and Aids fall into that category, but there are too many other possibilities too.    \n\nRespect yourself and your partner.  Do NOT have unprotected sexual contact with an infected person or someone who suspects they may be infected, but hasn't been tested yet.   \n\nRemember:  no matter how good a condom may be,..... it is not 100% protection.    \n\nThere is only one 100% safe method - Abstinence...... which means............. don't have sex.

He loves you very much. So much that the words "in sickness and in health" have a meaning to him. Not all, but many, guys would have gone by now. If I were you, I would love this man with all my heart and do all I could to hold on to him forever. He sounds like a very special man. Not many people get the chance to have a love that strong and true.\n\nI sincerely wish you and your husband the very best.\n\nTerry\n\nPS: True love can overcome all. He has found his nirvana in you.

Although it may be unusual, it's not wrong.  You can't get STDs and no one can break your heart.  It could be that you haven't met "the one" yet.  Don't worry, he'll be worth the wait.

There are a few possibilities . . . there are a few conditions that could develope during pregnancy, and hopefully that is the case and everything will be okay.  The other option is that your partner cheated on you, and that it is a true STD.  It's good that the doctor tested you either way.  Good luck!

Been there, done that. Yes it can be very dreadful. I know how you feel. \n\nI got genital herpes about 5 years ago. I have dated a few guys since then, and I have told EVERY one of them before I became sexually active with them. I can tell you I have never had a bad experience or reaction to telling any of them though. Although, that's not true for some people. When I know the relationship is getting serious I'll sit them down and explain it to them. The best thing I have found to do is to get as much good information about the virus as you can. This way when they ask you questions like, can I get it? How do I get it? Is is deadly? Is it treatable? etc, you will have the right information and you will be able to explain it to them. Also, provide them with some good websites, that way when it's convenient for them, they can go online and read about it themselves. \n\nI am currently engaged to a great guy right now. I told him when we were first dating that I had the virus and I sat him down and explained it all to him. He was concerned of course, but after some serious talks he understood it better. He accepted that he would probably get it from me someday. After a few months, he did end up getting the virus. But we are still together and plan on marrying soon. \n\nDon't let this affect you dating life! There are plenty of guys out there that would completely understand the situation. Even one of the guys I have dated also had the virus! So don't feel like you are the only one, a lot of people have it.\n\nYou can email me if you like. Good luck to you!
