Would you do it?

I think it would depend on a lot of things, more than just a simple yes/no. It would depend on what feelings I had for that person, whether I felt they were fleeting or not. Whether I thought that person was worth the effort. Just because they have an STD doesn't mean that they aren't going to be capable of being a wonderful partner.

This is a very good discussion and to tell you the truth I don't know what I would do in a situation like that. I never thought about it until I saw your discussion.

I have seen these commercials. I know that I would not be in that relationship especially with the particular STD they are referring to. It is not curable. It can be spread even when no breakout is happening. It can be spread to unborn babies if the female were to have the disease. To me there is no future in a relationship like that unless you plan to never have kids and never be intimate with each other.

I just recently have heard of an std called HPV and it's uncurable if you get a certain strain of it. It causes cancer in women. It doesn't have any symptoms this particular strand, oh by the way there are 100 strand's of this std HPV and it's becoming an epidemic apparently. I read that it's the number one std now. As far as your question goes about entering into a relationship with someone with an std goes, I think if given a chance to be told immediately before getting in to deep emotionly with a person then yes the choice would be obvious. I also belive that the person should inform you immediatly and have all the facts if they know they have an std.

please avoid diseased relationships. we are here to discuss better things. i feel extremely bad for such things which happen.what the world is coming to!

I totally agree with you. If it's a new relationship and they tell you, then you have the opportunity to get out before you get too involved with them emotionally. Also, taking care to try to not spread this disease would be a much greater risk factor in the long term. Your chances would dramatically increase over a period of time. I would think this would up your risk significantly. I would not get involved.

I don't know. I think I would avoid a relationship, too. I know there are groups which people with STDs can join - social clubs, that sort of thing. And then they can meet others who have the std, so they can date without worrying that if the relationship progresses, they have to deal with the STD. It does seem rather limiting, though. I guess it's one of those things where you don't know what you'll do because it depends so much on the situation.

Like you I would not go into a Relationship like that at all There are to many Risks and I would not be prepared to take them not even for Love I know it might sound harsh but it is far to risky

If I knew about it beforehand, I would not start a relationship with the person. If I didn't know but my partner knew, the best thing would be to break up because it is important to share that kind of personal info in the first place. I would not want to be with someone who would knowingly put my life in danger.

I am not so familiar in that kind of disease, isn't it std can be cure in due time and process? Coz nowadays no thing is impossible to do, if std is curable it means it cant be transfer to your partner anymore. But for me knowing that kind of situation well I wont probably go into a relationship if my partner to be is involved in such disease. My health is important and so as the health of my children to be.

Every time I see those commercials I just shake my head and think "are those people crazy?".... I don't know about anyone else but I certainly wouldn't take those chances.

I know several couples where one partner has g.h... calling it an s.t.d. is putting it too simply. With proper protection at all times, the disease will not be transmitted. These friends use protection, and one couple has been together for 17 years without the virus being transmitted. People are entitled to love, no matter what the physical problem. Real love doesn't see difficulty and run away... it stays and nurtures and heals if it can.

sorry wisey.i need to earn somewhere else i think thanks for the advise.

If I knew that a person had an std I wouldn't take the chance of sleeping with them cause I wouldn't want to get it.

I am student of Unviersity.

When I was single I was very strict about who I dated. I don't think I could be in a relationship with someone who had an STD that was not cureable, expecially if I wanted it to last a long time. I honestly couldn't see it going anywhere expecially since I still want more children and that wouldn't be a safe possibility if my parter had an STD. I know that there are people who have been together for years and never spread anything to their partner, I just wouldn't feel safe or comfortable with someone knowing they had one.
