Base on there being various different STDs and some not serious I wouldn't rule out a potential mate just because at that moment they might have an STD, I'd need to know what one we are talking about. For example if we are talking HPV, 70-80% of sexuality activie people under 50 have HPV and most will never know. 65% have Oral Herpes HSV1, approximately 3.5 billion people across the globe. Both of these as classified as STDs. So before deciding that I would or wouldn't date someone with an STD it would be important to clarify what the STD is.

Not at present. It's most important that they're clean NOW!

If its curable and theyre clean now and they kept that medical history to themselves, then yes. If theyre bragging that they had one then nahh i’d be like a deer in headlights

Just for all of you who are most likely unknowing, if you live and have protected or unprotected sex chances are you have or have had a strain of HPV in your body. Most people don't know they have it until their body shows something is wrong. HPV can cause several cancers in the sexual regions like throat, mouth, penis, anus, cervix and uterus. It is the most contagious and undetected STD transmittable by skin to skin contact. Genital warts is the only symptom of HPV that actually shows itself since most cancers are internal and there only 2 strains that cause genital warts. The positive thing is you won't die. It isn't medically curable but warts are treatable and the virus rids the body within 2 years. Vaccine is available called Gardisil is approved for ages 11-45 years old. Simply talk to ANY medical professional. Pharmacist, nurse, telehealth, free clinics or your family doctor. Take care of your shit. NO CURE. HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS. No symptoms doesn't mean you don't have.

This is outrageous, how is that most people only have shame and guilt to offer towards people who are sexually active. I've never had an STD but any time we sleep with someone there is a possibility to contract one, it's literally a part of nature. Now are there certain behaviors that put us in high risk scenarios, is it appropriate to have a conversation about our sexual history/testing? Yes to both ofcourse. However if you think you are superior to other people because you've never had sex, or you've always had super safe sex, that only demonstrates your ignorance and lack of compassion. I would date someone who had a curable STD in their past, np, no shame.

2 things...

1. Not all STD's are really bad, some have cures, I think chlamydia can be cured with just a drink at the hospital for example. So putting a blanket on all STD's is unfair.

2. I fell head over heels in love with a girl who has genital herpes and yes she and I got sexual. She was actually cheating on her boyfriend with me but my emotions were clouding my judgment. Turned out she didn't actually care about me at all and she stabbed me in the back in the end. I did NOT contract herpes, and made the decision afterward that I won't be with someone who has a bad STD. I got very lucky, I'm not testing that luck again.

lilyanony1 · Answer

This is such a complex issue... Before the hpv vaccine women and young men would get genital warts even from minimal contact.
Simply because its a virus.
There are a high number of cases of the population that have had this or are carriers
Even if you wear condoms you can still pass it on.
This is what they need to teach young people in sex Ed.
Condoms don't cover you for everything so you really should be cautious and respectful of yourself and others.

kc_4308 · Answer

Nope anyone who has a history of stds nope.. this is why I don’t date men who sleep around and or promiscuous. This is why I encourage my partner to get STD tested. I’m clean and prefer a mate whose clean.. never had a STD IN MY LIFE

Jlegacy · Answer

STDs can be contacted through non sexual means and this would make the person a victim of it. For the fact that I believe that with God all things are possible, if God says she is my one, I would date and even marry her because I can heal her of all of it.

Sincerly_KittyCat · Answer

Ugh its so scary that you can contact STDs/STIs from just kissing 😖. Its my fear to kiss someone and catch something I would literally die on the spot from shock after finding out.

Anonymous · Answer

I dated a lady who had genital herpes, but it was well controlled on medication. Of course I always wore a condom when we had sex regardless. If she felt like she was going to have another outbreak, we wouldn't have intercourse at all, even with a condom. She never did have an outbreak while we were dating but I always wore a condom anyway.

Anonymous · Answer

Funny story actually. I accidentally gave my boyfriend Chlamydia. I had no idea I had it 🙈 I had only been with 2 guys from the last time I had gotten tested, and they were both people I was dating at the time, so I must have caught it from one of them. I had no symptoms whatsoever and didn't find out about it until my boyfriend started having symptoms. We both got cleared up tho. 👍

CurlyGirl42 · Answer

Yes, people can just be unlucky.. like condoms break and there are even some who have their partner cheating on them and bringing home nasty shit.
But they should be cured or under treatment (for the permanent) before we will have sex.

Flower7 · Answer

If it was in the past and not the present, then yes. If the STD was current and/or incurable, then no.

Finchie40 · Answer

Nope I would be turned off but the fucked up thing is people today lie , so it’s a 50/50 chance on whether they do or not cuz someone with an STD isn’t going to admit they have one , Another reason I won’t have sex with a girl without wearing a condom , or if I find out she has been with multiple partners that’s a huge turn off to me as well and won’t touch her

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

Yes as long as it was one of the mild, treatable. when you consider it’s about 1 in 20 girls, aged 14-24 has chlamydia.

LisaRaven · Answer

No, don't think I would. Would have to see what it is, how dangerous etc.
