How would you react if your boyfriend told you that he has an STD?

I guess it would depend on which STD, and when he developed it. Oh, and whether he was telling me this before or after we had sex.

No. You are just setting yourself up to be cheated on again and again. It is like telling him he can walk all over you because you won't stand up for yourself. Besides, if he is sleeping around, he could bring home an STD. Take care of yourself first!

Break anything romantic off immediately.  You do not want to be the victim of his sexually transmitted disease.  Let him know that you like him as a person.  If you feel comfortable with maintaining a friendship because you like him as a person, then let him know that.  Also let him know that you don't appreciate being lied to about his sex status.

Have you gone to a doctor and had a urine pregnancy test done? Make sure %100 that you are pregnant and then you have to tell your boyfriend.

Whatever you do realize that life is more important than convenience. You're not a horrible person. Here's a link that may help you in your unplanned pregnancy.

Tell him that you are ready to take your relationship to the next level, but want to be safe and responsible about it.  Tell him you think it's a good idea that you are BOTH tested for AIDS (unless you're a virgin).  That way it's not putting it all on him.

Get tested asap and not sleep with them without protection ever again.  How long has it taken them to mention it? It doesn't change them as a person, but you need to ask about their honesty from the beginning - the same with any relationship.  If there has been a lot of secrets/lies you need to ask yourself if you can trust them ever again.

he is either lieing that he has it or he didn't get tested. unless you seen it. you guy's need to go TOGETHER that way you will know. it is easier for a women to get STD's cause the go into us. but it can be possible for you to have it and not him. he can be a carrier of it. any person can be a carrier of a STD. so he can give it to you and anybody else. and may not know it. but if he is carrier it won't show up in test. a man or a women can be carrier's of STD's. so maybe that is why he tested negative. he could be  carrier. and if you know you didn't sleep with noone else. and you go with him to get tested and see the actually test result's then that mean's he is  carrier and he will just keep giving it to you.

I dunno but I think I'd consider dropping him.  You don't want Hep. B, I assure you.  I'd rather have HIV.  Hep. B is a terminal disease and you need to avoid it at all costs.  So while he's still your "boyfriend", drop him.

I'm so sorry to even have the knowledge to tell you this. I contracted HSV from a boyfriend of a year after he had unprotected sex with some slut in Atlanta and then crawled into my bed. Now I am in new relationship with a man I've known for nearly two years. I will have to tell him about herpes too. After herpes, everything in my life changed, but it wasn't the disease that hurts the most -it's the stigma, hurt, and the inability to trust someone else. After the first outbreak it's pretty much smooth sailing except all those old feelings are brought up with every new outbreak. Three years ago, I had a relationship with a man who admitted after we had dated and had sex for nine months that he had herpes. At first, I was okay with it until I realized that he lied to me. He lied by not saying anything. He made the decision that I wasn't a person enough to decide whether I wanted herpes in my life. Then I wondered, "What other decisions is he making for me?" That was scary. Then Mr. I'm Getting Kicks in Atlanta took my ability to choose. He decided that it would be easier to not tell me that there was another person in our bed than to tell me the truth. Someone has already taken your ability to choose, but you and I have no right to do that to someone else. You don't want to go into your new relationship and have someone feel that way about you. Approximately 1 in 4 people have genital herpes and really it's no big deal. The stigma is the thing that ruins people's lives. If it didn't exist than there might be better relationships. I will be telling my next partner within as soon as sex comes up. Tell him in a relaxed setting (clothes on) and really talk to him. Tell him before you've had any sexual contact. It's okay if he's weirded out by it. Tell him, "I know what it feels like not to be valued as person because someone did that to me. I care for you and I want there to be no secrets between us. I have herpes." Give him an envelope filled with reading material so that he can see for himself. Then quickly tell him what herpes means, i.e. a noncurable skin condition. Try to be as positive as possible, he is going to look for cues from you to understand how to feel. Personally, I won't be choosing another sex partner now before marriage. I know this makes this harder, but I consider this a huge warning to not trust "Goodtime Charlie" with a go-round with my body. It's worth more than that.

you take a std test, and it is positive

That's something you do need to talk about with your partner. It is a very important topic, especially when it concerns sex, STDs, and your health. Slowly bring up the subject, tell him that you two can get the exams done together. But if he gets angry, avoids the subject, and refuses to get tested, you will then need to re-evaluate your relationship.

My girlfriend was orally raped and didn't say anything to anyone.  She then gave me an STD.  It hurts to urinate, and I have lesions on my penis.  She doesn't know what it is, and I'm still waiting on my test results.

Yes, there are legal ramifications for witholding medical information that could be detrimental to the health of others. But, you need to realize, you're just as guilty. \n\nWhat if he had HIV?  You need to be kissing the ground right now!  Women and men cannot blame people for not digging deep into their partners sexual history to find out if they've contracted diseases along the way.\n\nLet this be a lesson learned to you for the next relationship you're in.  So many times we see these commercials telling us to talk to our partners about STDs, but do we?  Of course not. We're too afraid they'll get mad at us or think we're nasty for bringing it up. And this is exactly what happens.\n\nSure, you can take your boyfriend (now ex) to court and sue but, in the end, you need to be more prudent in your sexual partners and more inqusitive about people's sexual history.

So, you're cheating on your husband and lying to your boyfriend?? That's just wrong. Do your husband a favor and give him the respect to tell him. Wouldn't you want the same thing if your husband cheated on you?? He does not deserve to be exposed to the possibility of you giving him STD's, without at least being informed. Then again, he may divorce you and you'll be free to do as you will and he can move on. It's a matter of self-respect for yourself as well as respect for others. Even if you haven't actually done anything yet, it sounds like it's only a matter of time before you do.

STD's...sound familiar? But a great question anyway.

Having an STD is scary and upsetting, especially when you don't know when you got it, or from whom.  Just be there for her to talk her frustrations out.  Don't treat her any differently and reassure her that there are millions of people who live happy and full lives with some STD's.  This is just something new, that she has to gain control of.  And remind her that no matter what she has to be strong, she has a baby that depends on her.
