No!!! Some people carry STDs for many years without knowing it. This is why it is important to get tested if you have reason to suspect you have contracted an STD.

i go every six months to get tested even though i NEVER have unprotected sex. better to be safe than sorry. your family physician, planned parenthood, or local health department can do these tests.

At stage 2 it is a pretty serious problem, from what I understand.\nI would just act like she had been diagnosed with any other serious life changing disease and ask her what you can do for her. Be there. Listen. \nGive her kind words. \nPeople obviously catch STDs from having sex, and catching an STD is never by choice. Sometimes even the sex isn't, either.\nShe must be going thru personal hell right now, especially if she doesn't know who she caught it from (it can take a while to develop, and longer to reach stage 2). Alot of dumbasses are probably judging her for even HAVING sex or misjudging that she slept around or whatever.\nAssure her that you don't carry those insensitive attitudes.\nCall her up if you don't hear from her for a while. She might be grappling with emotional and mental depression, too.\nJust mainly treat it as if she were suffering any other serious-but-nonfatal disease and the mental fallout from it.

Some people are bothered by their partner's sexual history, others are not - I guess it depends on the person.  If you are sexually active with them it's probably good to know their sexual history and medical history - there is certainly nothing wrong with asking about a partner's sexual history.

Try to tell him without freaking him out.

its better to use condoms, its really embarrassing to ask the other person for an std test, it can even be useful for family planning:)

he is either lieing that he has it or he didn't get tested. unless you seen it. you guy's need to go TOGETHER that way you will know. it is easier for a women to get STD's cause the go into us. but it can be possible for you to have it and not him. he can be a carrier of it. any person can be a carrier of a STD. so he can give it to you and anybody else. and may not know it. but if he is carrier it won't show up in test. a man or a women can be carrier's of STD's. so maybe that is why he tested negative. he could be  carrier. and if you know you didn't sleep with noone else. and you go with him to get tested and see the actually test result's then that mean's he is  carrier and he will just keep giving it to you.

1- your partner either has to be  a  virgin\n\n2-  Your partner even if a virgin should be tested for STD and retested in 6 monthss prior to you getting pregnant\n\n3- or there is always artificial methods- visit your local spern bank

You will never know until it's too late. Far too many people have AIDS and they don't find out until months and even years later. Just be careful if you are sexually active becuase just because someone looks clean or has been tested ( they could've had unprotected sex after they got tested!) it doesn't mean they are free from STDS.

*Shivering*  I'm getting the willies...\n\nAll it takes is a casual, "you kids have fun, then."\nIf he wants to push the envelope, tell him flatly, "I really don't care."\n\nYou have to voice your opinion.  Speak up and let him know in a firm, polite tone of voice that you really don't care and you don't want to know.  If others around you hear you say that, so what?  One moment of discomfort will save you a long time of enduring this unwelcome data overload about your sister's sex life.

why have unprotected sex with someone you don't trust? you would need to prove you didn't have an infection before relations with that person, or it could be you put them at risk too

you have to tell him somehow, it depends how close you are, if your really close and can confront him do so as he needs to get checked out aswell, and any previous partners.\nyou can arrange for your gp to send an anonymous note to him if in UK, if your elsewhere im not sure if you can do this but then you could send him an anonymous note. start wearing condoms from now on if you continue to have sex. herpes is an std and if you have this condoms wont protect you as this can be all over the genital area, in which case when you can see or feel sores get a special herpes crem from your chemist and dont have sex for a few days, 3 of my friends have this and aparantly its very painful even to pee if you dont use creams. i think the cream is called aclicovir.\nyou need to find out exactly what stds you could have. these cannot be treated yet by the way, only the effects softened as with herprs.\nhopefully if yu do have something it is just an sti which can be treated. although if you have stis for a long while it can cause fertility problrms and pelvic inflamatory disease, so this may be how you got pid. good luck.

You never know who has AIDS or some other STD's, so the best thing to do is to use condoms. NEVER have unprotected sex!! Even if the person is young or looks healthy. Be careful!

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.

First off all, grow up and learn that spelling things improperly dosn't make you cool. Second, if you don't trust her well enough to take her word for it, then you are not yet close enough to have sex responsibly. If you can't ask, then you aren't mature enough.\n\nIf you really are worried about it, ask her to get tested, you should get tested as well to reassure her. \n\nEither way, condoms, if properly used, are something like 99.9% effective at preventing the spread of STI's.
