girls...would you date someone w/std's?

I agree. It totally depends on the situation. The way someone contracts an STD may tell you what sort of person they are anyway. Me and my partner of two years were treated for an STD a while back. It wasn't serious, but it did give me a little perspective on this issue.
What makes me incredibly sad is hearing about people who contract AIDS through a blood transfusion. Totally blameless, but you're likely to never be physically close with anyone again because of it.

Most if not all of the posters who said, "no way", etc. already have HPV at the very least. There is absolutely no way that they can prove to anyone or themselves that they are not HPV or HSV positive.

Anyone who has ever had unprotected intercourse or felatio, who claimes to be "disease free" is either ignorant or a liar!

 

I would not date anyone infected with a disease that would kill me - but if it was HSV or HPV, and they were up-front and honest about it from the beginning, I wouldn't have a problem with it.

 

Like most things in life, it would completely depend upon the situation.

 

sorry....i was just trying to explain my point of view. Id much rather have a family with a human than a cat any day lol

 

uhh, wait... we're not BORN into the world with STDs.

..you're saying that two virgins who have unprotected sex together are suddenly carrying sexual disease?? i hope i'm just misinterpreting you!

 

PurpleGel,

perhaps you should meet Weeble:

here is an excerpt of her post on another thread:

.. also something like 97% have a type of HPV and they don't test for it like a normal STD.. If you went into a clinic and told them you wanted to be tested for all STD's they wouldn't test you for HPV unless you said HPV as well.

Most males are hard to diagnose and diagnosis in a female comes from an irregular pap smear. I also didn't catch it from having sex as I was diagnosed with it when I was a virgin. My mother gave it to me.

It causes cellular changes in the cervix which can cause cervical cancer. But the cells can also change back bringing it out the precancerous stage. My doctor told me a lot about this and only 3% of all that is diagnosed with HPV 16 and 18 ever develop cancer. In women only 1% of that 3% wasn't able to have children due to cervical cancer and no one has ever died of HPV.

Somewhere between 70-90% of sexually active people carry a potentially dangerous STD. Many like Weeble have always had it. There are ways to controll this virus, but no cure. We all need to be aware and lessen the rampant spread of HPV strains.

The biggest problem in my view is the idea that a blowjob is somehow safe without condoms. Blowjobs are likely the primary way that dangerous HPV strains are spred amongst the western populations. HPV grows just fine on the larnyx as well as the cervix. Two to three random blowjobs, and your odds of having HPV is extremely high.

Be aware and be safe!

I notice you mention blowjobs but what about it being passed by a guy eating a girl out?

 

no way jose

 

The transmission of the various HPV strains is poorly understood. There is no definitive answer to your question about oral sex the other way around. A comprehensive study amongst lesbians might provide some insight, but i have not seen any such study.

Certainly, the "wart" variety can be spread by cunnalingus, but I doubt that the types that cause cervical and larynx cancer are generally passed that way.

Mouth to vagina is certainly not as dangerous as direct contact of infected cells to the larynx.

The bottom line is, that in my opinion, it is a lot safer, you may find equally qualified opposing views. Medical science is rather ignorant on many fronts.

 

I think If I fell in love and then found out someone was carrying a disease it wouldn't matter, but if they came right out and told me before I really knew them i would choose not to be with them.

 

I would definitely date someone with a STD as long as its curable.

Though I do have a girlfriend who I love and is clean, Im happy with whats up. But if she had herpes and I just met her, I think Id still date her.

So answering your question, Yes I would.

But, would you date anyone with a minor case of STD's?

Nothing like Herpes or HIV/AIDs, for example, scabes or crabs.

 

I wouldn't let something like that get in the way of me loving someone.

 

cccc

 

vvvv

 

...depends on the person....but yeah I think I wouldIf someone is honest and open about it and we talk about it and he is a great guy, then sure. I just have to think about how I would feel if the tables were turned.

 

yeah. i wouldn't care. if i fell in love with someone and they had an std i would deal with it. sex isn't everything anyway.

 

I like this response, very very nice.
