LOL!!!! If people are dumb enough to sleep around unprotected then they deserve to get an STD. People that have STD's and don't tell their partner deserve to have there genatials set on fire or worse!!!!
Absolutely. And I have.
It was a hard decision to make. But it was a good one that I don't regret.
Edited to add: It was a one on one situation. I didn't announce it to the entire dz. It remained private.
Now... if I strongly suspected someone of having multiple relationships with an STD and not taking precautions. I would have a chat with that person directly. First if they did not care or do something to correct the situation than it would be the only right thing left to do to inform the people they are putting at risk .
I have a question, if someone is sleeping around but using precautions would you still tell? Example, The guy has the STD, but using a condom. The Girl doesn't know about the STD.

Condoms have been known to fail.

And don't provide full protection against the viral infections well.
QuoteOK, it's late at night, and we ARE in Bonfire.
We have standards at our DZ. They may be really, really, low, but we have 'em

When did this happen ?
QuoteI'm sorry but, is it illegal to tell someone that someone else has a disease?
Only if the person doing the telling is the infected's attending physician . Doing so without the consent of the infected patient .
On the other side of the coin , it is illegal to not inform a partner that you are infected . Especially when the infection is HIV . Some states will even charge the infected person if they are spreading it without informing partners with anything from reckless endangerment to endangering one's welfare to attempted murder in some cases in New York , if someone is knowingly , or even possibly spreading HIV without informing the partners they have had relations with .
QuoteIf someone had STD's and.....
Easy, no-brainer... If someone's chest strap wasn't looped right or there leg straps were on wrong would you pull them aside and tell them?????
Same thing
You could potentially be changing an outcome that wasn't desired.
Great way to put it . Good Metaphor .

They are still morally and should be legally obligated to inform the partners . As no protection ,as stated above is 100% certain . The uninfected partner has the right to know all the risks involved even with so called protection in place .
QuoteI say make a documentary about it. Keep track of who sleeps with who and kep an ever expanding "family tree" like chart. Even more interesting to see how many branches cross more than once.

Great advice and tips thanks you for the input , with this sort of info added I could also pen one of those tell-all bios .
Put Madonna's and Dennis Rodman's tell-all at the bottom of the totem pole and sales history charts .
May come back for more advice from you .
Speaking for the older set, we don't do as much dating or hooking up as we used to back thirty years ago (when we did everything and nobody had ever heard of AIDS). Nowadays I don't know about any of our friends who have HIV, but I do have at least three friends with C hepatitis. They all talk about it rather openly among themselves, comparing therapies and which of the drugs kick their butts and so on. But we're all a monogamous bunch by now. I wouldn't tell anyone about their hep status unless they were a bloody mess after an accident and needed medical attention. Of course responders are supposed to use safeguards for blood born pathogens as a standard procedure anyway.
