Do you know HER sexual history?

If you would want someone to do it for you, then fine, if you marry a man on the DL, I'll let you know.

But you can't make that decision for her. It is not your place to meddle in her life.

And once again.....nobody knows that the man has ANY disease!

Senusret, I fear that you have gotten the wrong impression. I am not of the mindset that he probably has a disease just b/c he is apparently on the DL. Please don't take offense. I am simply stating that it is a possibility (which would be the case with any man or woman). I only mentioned the DL thing b/c it was at the forefront of my mind based on a discussion on this message board several weeks ago. No one is saying that she will definitely get a disease from him; I am simply saying that there is a risk of this and that concerns me. I could have left this part of the post out however, the fact that he is on the DL seems relevant to me as we know that one of the reasons for the increasing numbers of AA woman being infected is through unprotected sexual contact with their husbands when their husbands are on the DL. It is an undeniable phenomenon.

Again, not trying to spread myths about gay/bisexual men, just being real about the state of affairs in our community.

I appreciate your input.
