I recently read in a forum somewhere that a female member was asking the following question:
How do I tell the one I love that I have an incurable STD after months of dating?
Well here is what we suggest:
Tell him the way you told your other partners, if you had any other ones. It is something that takes great courage, because STDs are extremely stigmatized. However, it truly is the right thing to do. Yes, you might scare him away and he may get mad. He would probably be pretty justified in doing so -- STDs are not the sort of thing you withhold from your sexual partners, not at least until you are "serious". If you love him, you have to do it and let him make the choice whether or not to stay with you. Think about it from his perspective -- the longer you take, the more it hurts him when you finally reveal it. Would you want someone to wait that long to tell you, after you'd already had unprotected sex with them? No matter where the outbreaks were localized?
