I have before, and I probably will again. It's all about being open-minded and educated. I've had sex with someone that is HIV+. I also agree with it depending on the STD. If you have something that is curable, I need you to handle that.

Uhhhh Huh. me too.

I am glad that you were able to make an informed decision. I got scared just reading your reply.
I guess I am not very open-minded. HIV is too serious for me. I might could handle non-life threatening diseases that occured prior to the committment (marriage) to me. I definitely could not, at this point, handle HIV even if that happened before the marriage to me.

If I fell in love with someone who was upfront from the beginning about their status and I educated myself on their STD, then yes. You never know who you will fall in love with or who God has placed in you path for various reasons.

It's definitely not something to play around with. I made sure I was well educated on the situation at hand. In the Atlanta metro area, they even have couples counselors that you can go to with your partner for free to get educated on the situation. I'm sure they probably have them everywhere else too. I found out that it's not recommended to put on two condoms to try to make sex safer. Also, the statistics in Atlanta metro area are horrible. I'm sure there are plenty of people that lie about their status. Who knows if we have had sex with someone that has an STD? How many people actually ask for paperwork? How accurate/recent is the last piece of documentation they have? When having sex, you just have to be cautious of all risks period. You're always taking a chance. I know of someone who got pregnant when a condom was used. You just never know. Honesty is the best policy, and that goes a long way with me.

Nope.

I could only see it under the circumstances of marriage.... maybe.

Never!! I dont wanna get permanent cooties...
