Not telling someone is a HUGE "something wrong"! This is why STD's keep getting passed since either people are not getting tested or not telling their partners. We have to get licenses to drive cars so why not licenses to have sex? Be responsible, thoroughly tested and ask questions.Are you aware that condoms do not completely eliminate risk to the other person? Condoms do not cover all areas from which the virus can be present on the skin, regardless of where your site of initial infection was present. Even with using a condom you might still pass the disease along to the next person. Genital herpes can be active from your belly button to your knees, so a condom only covers so much. Oral herpes commonly known as a cold sore can pass genital herpes through oral sex. Condoms also sometimes slip off or break, too.
Are you aware that even without signs or symptoms of herpes, you can still be contagious due to Asymptomatic shedding? There is no way to know when you are shedding the virus. Suppression medicine is a must if you carry the herpes virus to suppress it even when you are not in an outbreak.
You do not have the right to make the choice for others. That choice has to be your partner's choice so be honest and make sure the are aware you have an STD and there is no 100% way to keep them from getting it as well. You do not have the right to expose anyone to a lifelong, incurable condition unless that person is well informed about the risks and still chooses to get sexually involved with you.
It doesn't matter that *you* don't get many symptoms---it's still lifelong, incurable, and can affect the next person with severe symptoms regardless of the fact that your body has mild symptoms, and it can affect a woman's childbearing experience as well. You might get mild symptoms but they might not and have terrible outbreaks. Everyone's immunity is different. HPV might be gone after getting the warts removed but the virus is still in your system and is forever as herpes is, too. HPV can kill since it create cervical cancer in women if not diagnosed or caught in time.
Did you choose to risk getting your STD or did you have no idea that the person you were with had it? Think about how it might feel to end up with these viruses simply because you had no idea the person had it. If they didn't know, that's one thing, but knowing and still keeping quiet--well, that's not a good thing.
Be responsible and honest with your virus. Honesty is always the best policy when you are risking someone else's health. They have the right to know. Maybe you did not have someone tell you first but would you want someone else to have that pain too.
Don't be afraid of rejection. Don't carelessly hurt or endanger someone because the cat has got your tongue. Have courage and be strong. Love yourself and that is all anyone will see regardless of your faults as you may see them.
Love yourself, others, be safe, EDUCATED and responsible in your life!!
