what is the easiest way to tell someone u have an STD?

Answer 1

I don't think there is an easy way. The best thing is to tell someone before anything sexual happens, but after you are sure that they are someone you would consider having a future with. If it is someone that you have already had sex with, you really just have to be up front so they can get treatment. People will not always takr it well. I don't know if you have a curable or an incurable disease, but some people may be more uncomfortable if it is something that is incurable. That doesn't mean they don't like you, but they are more concerned for their own safety. The right person for you will be able to accept you and value the fact that you were honest with them. I wish you the best!!!

Answer 2

Be factual, and not all emotional. If you approach it as "Hey have you been tested for stds? Well, I have and this is what I have etc" it will go over a lot better than "I have this terrible awful horrible tragic thing to tell you, and I just know you will want to leave me."

Its all in the approach - if you act as if its not that big of a deal, chances are they will too. And be prepared to answer questions - and that's great that they ask. It means they want to know what the risk is, and aren't immediately heading for the hills based on ignorance.

And don't forget that you need to ask if they have been tested RECENTLY (as in since their last partners). Just because you have an std doesn't mean you can forget about their health too.

Answer 3

Not sure of an "easy way". But you should definitely tell them. I mean is it a partner who you have been with, cheated, and then got the STD?? Either way, you need to be honest and let them know so they can go and get theirselves checked out. It's only right, I'm sure you would want the same in return.

Answer 4

Just tell them. It is worse to keep it a secret and have them find out another way. Go online and get as much info as you can about the one you have that way you can sit and calmly tell the other person all of the facts and all. Make sure you let them know 1) Side affects, 2) Is it treatable?, 3) If treatable, how?, and 4) Will it go away?. Hopefully it all works out fine!

Answer 5

There really is no easy way. I have had to tell a few guys that I have dated that I have genital herpes and HPV. I can say I have NEVER had a bad reaction to it though, or anyone break up with me because of that. (That's not always true for everyone though.)

I'm engaged to a great guy right now, and I told him I had both viruses when we first started dating. Of course he was concerned and wanted to know all about them. He wanted to know the symptoms, if he could catch it, if it is deadly or curable, etc.

If you have an STD do some research about it. So, when you do tell someone that you have it, and they ask you all kinds of questions, you'll be able to answer them. I even provided my fiance (boyfriend at the time) some good websites, where he could check out the information himself.

Answer 6

It's never "easy" the easiest thing would be not to have one in the first place but it seems that ship has sailed-my sympathies.

Answer 7

There really isn't any easy way, especially since some diseases are asymptomatic. The only way to tell is to have bloodwork done. Always use protection if you're not sure.

Answer 8

There is no easy way, just come right out and tell that person, BEFORE U HAVE SEX.

Answer 9

Just be upfront and honest and tell them. Be prepared for anger, questions and assumptions.
