How would you handle dating if you have an std? If you were born in the 60s and 70s, it is most likely you've gotten you groove on a few times without protection or maybe not. Many people because they do not have symptoms may not know if they have it or not. For those who are certain because of blood testing, would you date someone if you did not have and STD? Would you have sex today without a condom? Many people still do and many people have secrets they will take to the grave. Many people are afraid of rejection and embarrasement. What are your thoughts? And for the ignorant, please do not ask stupid questions. Ask yourself, isn't it obvious and leave it at that. All mature responses welcome.

I contracted HPV (low risk Genital warts) from my ex. I reasearched and read till my eyes and brain hurt. lol
I believe that there are other things far more worse in life than an std. I think it's up to the person to decide if their life is over or just beginning. Most people look at it as "life is over for me" but honestly it's not. Everything happens for a reason, I'm not saying it's a good thing, but not necessarily a bad thing either. The day that you find someone that will appreciate you, love you and understand you for who you are and not what you have you'll realize that life isn't over.
HSV and HPV are the most common std out there. HSV 1 out of 5 people have it and don't know or are in denial about it. HPV 3 out of 4 people have it and don't know.
I feel you can never go wrong with honesty! Be real with youreself and others and things will happen on their own when you least expect it. When I found out I had HPV , my ex denied it, He said " I don't have anything" and of course blamed it on me and said I was cheating to make himself feel better. Bad part is that there is no test for men and hpv. When I thought I was done, who would date me after this...I felt the lowest of the lowest, didn't concentrate on anything else but me and work. Then BAM....there was my boyfriend...in my life all along and I didn't even know it.
He is one of the best things that has ever happened to me! See's me for me. I'm not going to lie...I use to be one of those.."EWWW you got what???" BYE!" Of course you could never see what really is going on until it happens to you....
Sooo to all it's own.

I have HPV, my fiance has HSV. He hasn't got mine, I have not gotten HSV. We are very careful, and protect ourselves each and every time we have sex. If I didn't have HPV, I can assure you that yes, I would still be planning my wedding with my HSV+ guy!!! I love him very much, and to me there's more to a person that what's between their legs.

Never go to battle with out your helmit. I had a friend that was swav and very handsome, but got herpese from another women. Now, all his talk, goes to his business instead of women, all his money goes into his business, and all the rest he saves for hope that some day there will be a treatment. He only has herpes but thats enough to ruin your life. Be carefull, cause you can't t trust anyone. And now these days, even that person you love cause their infedelity can spread disease as well. Watch our for the signs!

I'm a nurse. You want to protect yourself at all times. I don't believe you want to be ill, right? Please don't get involved without a condom if you must. I would thing that the guy would care so much about you that he wouldn't put you at risk. If this isn't the case, then he don't care that much about you at all. You are worth more than that.

I think you have to think about the longevity of the relationship first of all. Herpes lasts forever, so is this a relationship that you see lasting just as long. Accidents happen even when we take precautions, so you have to be prepared to get it even if you protect yourself. And we all know what happens when you are in a relationship for a while, people get comfortable and they get careless because they believe they "love" each other. Additionally, what if you stay together and you contract it. There is a possibility to pass it on to your children. Then their lives are kind of limited because they were born with a long lasting disease.

Yup, confident why no longer, they are nonetheless human beings properly worth having somebody to look after them. the biggest situation with hsv-II is the existence-type that anybody is forced to stay by using fact society denies them the honour and archives they desire.

WELL, IF U LOVE SOMEONE ENOUGH, IT SHOULDNT MATTER. AS LONG AS YOU ARE PROTECTED AND HAVE A LITTLE COMMON SENSE, THE TWO SHOULD BE JUST FIND AND LOVE CONQUERS ALL THINGS. WHAT IF SOMEONE WEIGHED MORE THAN 400 POUNDS? WOULD ANYONE DATE THAT PERSON AND LOVE THEM REGARDLESS. OR PERHAPS INTERRACIAL DATING IS A GOOD ONE TOO. SO I WOULD DATE SOMEONE WHO HAD AN STD AND WE WOULD HAVE TO TALK ABOUT WHAT IT WAS AND WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF IT GETTING TO ME IF I DONT USE PROTECTION. USE COMMON SENSE.
