How would you feel if the person you were in love with told you they had an STD?

It takes a lot of courage to tell someone you have an STD and risk being rejected. He (or she) is a person, not a disease. People with STDs have alot to offer too, and if you truly love someone it shouldn't matter. I think the important questions are....How old are you? Is this a serious relationship? Is he in love with you too? My advice is to do your research and know more about the condition so you can make an informed decision and be knowledgeable about methods of preventing transmission before you have sexual relations with him.

If i was in that type of problem, I would probably be happy that they told me. And used proper measures. Such as using condoms? That prevent the spread of STD's? Or maybe like ask if there is any medication for this certain STD, and if there is then taking it while using condoms would be a good idea.

Just more less be more careful when getting intimate then if you didn't know about the STD or if they never had it.

Condoms only reduce the risk of getting an STD. The manufacturers make no claims to prevent STD's. That is a BIG difference which could really change a persons decison.

Depending on what STD it is as long as it is not life threatening use condoms..however think about too what if it doesnt work out between you and this persona and you have to live with that STD for the rest of your life..is this person worth you risking your life/changing your life? If not, remain friends with the person but be careful..

Condoms don't prevent all stds. If he loves you thats great, but there's no obligation that says you have to do it with him. Men can tell girls many things, the sweetest things they say aren't always true. Save yourself some trouble and just say no, make him earn your love and don't give it up so easy. Cuz once you do it, u you can't take it back and you may regret passing it to someone you love in the future.

I would be terribly upset....and depending on how long the relationship has lasted i would think twice about continuing on. At least this person was honest enough to tell you. I dont which STD it is...but b4 u break it off, do some research, see how u can protect yourself, and then go on from there.

Well honestly I dont know if I could deal with that because Im kinda a germ freak and would be to worried about getting it...but not everyone is that way. Some people might not care at all. I would break it off...sorry just being honest

Its amazing how many teens incorrectly think condoms stop all STDs.

I'd be quite shocked & upset/dirty.

But if this was someone i was certain i would spend the rest of my life with, i would stay with him/her.

If you know for a fact you two are going to be the only ones having sex which each other til you die, then i see nothing wrong with it.

listen to the song you never know

its really sad

but it deals with this issue
