A relationhshiip with someone with an STD?


Question:
Would you consider a relationship with someone who had an STD that you couldn't protect yourself from, like HPV? Knowing that if it ended you'd pass it on to any future lovers?

Answers:
I dated someone for a little while who had genital herpes. I also have genital herpes though, and HPV, which I have for 6+ years.

I've dated several guys over the last 6 years though and ALL of them knew I had both viruses before we had sex (if we even had sex). My longest relationship was with a guy for almost 4 years and he didn't care I had the viruses. He also never even contracted genital herpes from me. Since there is no test to detect HPV in men it's pretty much impossible for him to know if he contracted HPV from me though.

Right now I'm in an almost 2 year relationship with my fiance and he could care less that I have genital herpes or HPV. He loves me for ME, viruses and all.

A lot of people say they would NEVER date a person with a STD. But, if they actually got to know someone and started to truly care for them, then they can usually look past the STD and see the person for who they are, not what they have!

Take care!
my boyfriend has just found out that he has herpes.
we are carring on an relationship,although l`ve probelly got it now. But thats life!!!
I would. You just have to talk about the relationship
I wouldn't be in a sexual relationship with them yet. But, if you are meant to be, then in the future I wouldn't be totally opposed to it.
Honey if you are sexually active, you probably would test positive for HPV. Did you know that HPV is highly contagious and condomns rarely protect you from it. It can be transmitted simply by touching.

You should always protect yourself regardless. Sexual relationships are possible with Herpes and HPV. Please educate yourself. It is also possible with AIDS, but much more complicated and risky.
nearly everyone has HPV., good luck avoiding that one.
I would be in a relationship with him, but wouldn't sleep with him.
