You don't just fall out of love with soneone. I would expect that we have open conversations about what diseases each of us have or don't have. It would go a long way with me that they cared enough to not put me at risk. (Immune conpromised). I would try to make things work if possible.

@Fungirlmmm it appears a lot of women would be sweet and try to make it work..wonder if the guys are as generous
Fungirlmmm · 51-55, F
@foldedunfolding Interesting question. Im not sure.
I’d want to make it work.
As long as they’re willing to be honest with me about a treatment plan and mitigation of mutual risks.
Honesty is the key here.
I’m not afraid of the truth.
I remember when AIDS was the big scary issue that people were afraid of.
I never shied away from hugging my infected friends or sharing a drink with them.
Most of them were more uncomfortable initially about it than I was,, expecting me to be put off but I made it a point to educate myself about the dangers and risks.
As well as the mythical risks that made there way through the community

My ex wife went to the docs many years ago and the docs told her she had Chlamydia- she of course blamed me. Blood tests and intrusive procedures later. Tests came back negative. She tried to convince me it must have been from her ex 10 years previously. I was naive I guess but wanted to believe her. So I took my medicine literally and we carried on.
As it transpires my ex had been cheating on me with her ex husbands brother all through our marriage.
She spent years convincing me I was the problem in the marriage.
In short if you love someone you should forgive and try to make it work. But be warned there is no smoke without fire

Long ago I had a huge crush on someone who only wanted me as a friend, and she told me she had herpes. I told her that didn't matter, and I was serious. We never did get together in that way, though, and I don't know if she actually did have herpes or was making that up to scare me away!
We are still good friends though, decades later <3

@SW-User probably dodged a bullet there

If they aren't honest about it then it's a deal breaker from the get go
foldedunfolding · 41-45, F
@SW-User that's why i specifically said they were honest tho..if they were honest, then..?

@foldedunfolding it really depends on many things ...it's not a simple yes or no answer
SensualRomantic · 46-50, M
Actually, I would think that should be already mentioned/talked before getting to point to fall in love with someone.
I don't think someone can say that "oh I wanted to tell you but I wanted to wait to see if we fall in love first"...

@SensualRomantic if you're online or something sure..but i can imagine that if we put ourselves in the shoes of someone with an std..it would be terribly difficult to relive the experience, the shame, and deal with any social fall-out.
SensualRomantic · 46-50, M
@foldedunfolding Love is strong against any issues. If you love someone with all your heart, you wouldn't care. But that doesn't mean someone can wait to share important details like that until we love each other. Actually, if this happening not on online, and in real, it means that more physical touch might happen so I think that information should be shared immediately.
foldedunfolding · 41-45, F
@SensualRomantic that's the thing..they don't KNOW it is love until it is love lol. and they can say it when things get more heated, i think. but..i think this is an impt and positive discussion for us to have, and thank you for your comment!

@foldedunfolding I can’t imagine doing that to a child of mine.
Again, I am so sorry. Disgustingman deserves to be blocked. His behaviour is abhorrent.

@Disgustedman You owe her an apology you disgusting old fuck
foldedunfolding · 41-45, F
@carpediem aw somehow just seeing this. thank you for your kind defense.
That’s a very difficult situation to be in..
I’d think it depends how much love is there.. the only recommendation I could have for you is that if you decide to stay, make sure that you stay for love and not because of codependency … 🌹

I fell in love with someone on EP who had one. we had never met but I was already preparing to work around it. but I liked her a lot. then she just disappeared.
Livingwell · 61-69, M
I'd make it work. Chances are the former partner was not careful and was inconsiderate when they went home.

Work it out. It's either treatable or there's meds to keep it from being contagious.
AndrewF · 51-55
it's pretty common to share blood test results for safety reasons. It's happened to me where I really connect with a sugar baby, but then the test results turn out disappointing. It's tough, but I still prioritize respect and their privacy/secrets. However, taking such risks might not be worth it in the end. Got to remember these sugarbook babies are constantly demanded for and not gonna call them prostitutes but they can bring same level of risk.
emperorlily · 22-25, F
honestly it wouldnt change much for me. i'm not that interested in sex or kissing so it'd be fine with me
I would make it work
foldedunfolding · 41-45, F
@PepsiColaP that is really giving of you ♡
@foldedunfolding Its not like that ,most STDs are manageable if not treatable
Starcrossed · 41-45, F
Make it work if I felt in love.

I only believe in two loves with or without romance. I wouldnt have a physical romantic relationship with someone with an std, but that doesnt mean my love disappears.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
I would make it work for sure. I would hope that he would be open and honest though:
Something like HIV/AIDS might be a deal breaker though because I am immunocompromised and couldn’t risk getting that.

LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
It depends on the STD, to be honest. If it's something like herpes, it's manageable. HIV or AIDS might be a deal breaker.

@LordShadowfire ack yeah the life or death ones would be a hard sell for sure

A lot of STD's are more like chronic conditions anymore. I'd def be nervous as heck though regardless.
