Muhrica Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 That's the situation I am in right now. This is what the girl has told me. I have been clean (one pro of being a virgin I guess lol) for 23 years. She puts me in a rough spot. On one hand, it's extremely brave she told me, on the other, I basically had to usher it out of her because of her strange behavior. Anyways, Because of her being so secretive, there is literally no way for me to know if she is fully cured or not. But it's a tight spot cause I mean, should I even risk it sleeping with her? What would you do?
AMusing Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 Medically speaking, chlamydia is just a bacterial infection. A good dose of antibiotics and it's completely eliminated from her body. I have no doubt her doc "fully cured" her, the same as he would "fully cure" a strep throat infection. If you're worried she still has it, or has another STD, ask her to get tested (which isn't a bad idea in general). Emotionally speaking, you need to decide if you can handle the fact that she got an STD in the past. It may help you to read about the infection, treatments for it, and how common it is. CDC estimates that 1/15 sexually active teenage girls has it; that is, 1/15 "has a current infection," not "ever had an infection," like your girl did.
phineas Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 I wouldn't date someone who lacked the tact to keep that stuff to themselves. 3
mesmerized Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 My God, you're acting as though she's got HIV or Herpes. Chlamydia is extremely common and can be cured with antibiotics. All she needed to do was have sex with ONE guy, but if that ONE guy had had sex with several women and one had chlamydia, that's all it would take for her to get it. Lighten up for God's sakes. Its funny and scary how uneducated people are about stds.
kiss_andmakeup Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 Just ask her to get tested as a precaution if you're worried. Chlamydia is completely (and easily) curable, but it's normal to request that your partner get tested at the start of a sexually active relationship, regardless of their past.
Author Muhrica Posted December 16, 2012 Author Posted December 16, 2012 Well, dodged a major bullet. Also learned that she was hiding a dormant carrier case of herpes. LOL AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT.
mortensorchid Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 I wonder how it is that she decided to share this with you? Usually when someone catches something you don't know it until you've had someone who you were just with tell you "I think I caught something and it's from you". But honestly, that STD is bacterial and usually is cleared up with antibiotics and you have nothing to worry about.
mortensorchid Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 Oh, just read the other post about her having herpes. In that case, as that is viral, you're lucky that you didn't go there literally. But I still wonder why she felt she had to tell you this to begin with. Maybe she was using that first STD as a precursor to tell you "What would you say if I told you I had herpes?".
ImperfectionisBeauty Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 3/4 of people 25 and under will have an std and not know it so yes of they were cured I would date them.
