I personally feel that even though you
don't want to tell him you should cause if
you passed something to him and he sleeps
with someone else then he could screw
someone else up.

It sounds like you really owe it to
yourself and this guy to go. If you can
have sex with him, you certainly should be
able to talk to him and be honest with
him. It might not be easy for you, but it
has to be done. Part of being an adult is
taking care of yourself and watching out
for your partner too, when you have one.

I disagree with the other ladies to a
point. I would find out first if you have
the std before saying a word. You do not
owe the man you past history if you do not
wish to share that part with him. If you
do have a std, then you must tell him.
There is just no reason to tell him
something that he will prejugde you on if
you don't have to. That is you personal
business and if you don't have to share
it, than don't. So I say find out if you
have a STD, if so let him know both of
ya'll need treatment. You don't have to
take blame because you don't really know
that it was you since you said you were
treated. I know everyone is going to
disagree with me but the important thing
is both get treated, he doesn't hurt her
and she has some self respect left.

thanks for the advice, so do u think it is
more likely that i still had it and passed
it to him, or am i am i really unlucky
that he had it aswell? one thing i really
dont want is to tell him about before, but
i will tell him if i found out i do have
one

I really don't think you should be scared
about telling him that you had it before,
especially since you had the treatment and
thought it was gone! Nobody could fault
you in that. In fact, if you don't tell
him about having it in the past, he could
think that you cheated on him and caught
it that way (assuming he didn't already
have it also).
I seriously doubt that the clinic would
look down on you for having it again,
because maybe it just didn't go away the
first time? You shouldn't worry about
that. If he goes in with you, then he
would learn that you had it before,
because if the clinic doesn't already
know, you should tell them about the first
time you had it. So if he's going to find
out at the clinic (assuming he's going
with you), then you should tell him so
that he's not surprised.
Seven months is a long time to be with
someone, and by that time you should be at
the stage where you at least have a good
foundation of trust between the two of
you. And part of trust is being able to
talk to each other, even about the hard
things. It'll be okay.

It will be okay.
I got an sti (hpv) from an ex that was
latent until I had already been with my
new boyfriend (who is now my husband) for
some months.
I had been tested for everything before we
got together and they said I was clear,
but hpv doesn't show up on tests unless
you have a) irregular cells on a pap or b)
genital warts.
I had passed it on to him before I even
knew I had it. I felt terrible, and so
ashamed. He was a virgin when we met. I
told him right away, and he was so
understanding and didn't blame me at all.
I cried and he hugged me and reassured me
that it was okay.
It was okay. We got married a year later.
