Ok me and my boyfriend have been together for a while now and he wants to have sex and I do too but there is just one problem I have a disease and I don’t know if I should tell him or not because I don’t want him too to think of me different but we are going to use protection and everything just I don’t want to tell him! And I am sooooo scared! I don’t know about what maybe about him knowing my deepest darkest secret, I don’t know! Please help me!
smartmonkie answered Wednesday March 23 2005, 6:13 pm: well, u see sometimes when you use protection it doesnt always work. i have a friend who used protection and she had a disease and didnt tell she got pregnant and the guy go the disease. so if i where u i would tell the guy. but if he was a true boyfriend he wouldnt treat you different. so good luck on your disccions [ smartmonkie's advice column | Ask smartmonkie A Question ]
jokerzgrl answered Wednesday March 23 2005, 4:58 pm: If you really love him, you'll tell him. You know what disease that you have, do you want your boyfriend to have it? If he gets upset or angry,and is insensitive about it, hes not the one for you. But be honest,he'll get mad if you don't tell him. Its okay to be scared, but you also need to be brave.

gessyka answered Wednesday March 23 2005, 3:45 pm: Bottom line -- you gotta tell him. I know it may feel embarassing but maybe you can find medicines or ways to work around the disease depending on if it's major or mild or something.
But yeah..you definitely have to tell him. He does have the right to know. Wouldn't you want to know?

EJ47 answered Wednesday March 23 2005, 12:41 pm: It depends, whether or not it is an STD. If it's an STD like herpes or crabs or something, then tell him what a huge risk he'll be taking. If it isn't an STD, then go ahead and tell him anyway, but tell him he probably won't get it from having intercourse with you.... Also, remember AIDS or HIV can be STD's as well.
_eMiLy answered Wednesday March 23 2005, 10:12 am: Well I think you could've been more specific with us about the what disease it is but anyway, you should tell him if this disease is contagious if you give him any kind of disease I doubt he will be happy. So definatly find out if this disease is contagios through sexual realtionships.
If it is you can't just use a condom, condoms break and there could still be a chance he can get the disease so you should tell him, if he loves and cares about you I'm sure he will stay with you and understand.
Good luck, hun.

chicitatoxalot answered Wednesday March 23 2005, 9:55 am: It's never cool to keep a secret like that. You could give him the disease too, and then he would really hate you. You need to be responsible. Even if you do use protection, you could give him the disease, and I don't know many people who like catching diseases.
Please take my advice!
Luv ya,

Drama_Secretary answered Wednesday March 23 2005, 9:54 am: You should tell him. Condoms break. He has a right to know what could happen to his body. And if he thinks of you differently then you really need to reconsider the relationship. If you two are close enough to have sex then I think telling him about your health wouldn't ruin your relationship. [ Drama_Secretary's advice column | Ask Drama_Secretary A Question ]
friend2all answered Wednesday March 23 2005, 9:19 am: Hey , Though personal experances of my own of beeing emontional attacted to guys you have to protect your feelings if this guy is your bf then be honest about your diseas however if this diesea is realtity to a STD you have no choice to tell him. Sex is an expertion of showing respect and if you cart be honest with ur partern then you arnt ready for sex.Sex will change everything and you may experance an emontion over balance. Take care and assure your having sex for the right reasons and that ur realtionship is strong sex is not going to save your relationship and make him stay around.

LiSaxOBaBii answered Wednesday March 23 2005, 9:10 am: well what's the disease? If it's contagious like you describe then don't make him suffer. Protection doesn't always work, so don't count on that. You have to tell him because it wouldn't be fair if you didn't. Don't have sex until he knows because a disease can change someone's life and I'm sure he doesn't want it.
selectopaque answered Wednesday March 23 2005, 8:55 am: You absolutely must tell him.
If your thinking about having sex, I'm guessing your in a deep relationship with him and care deeply about him. He deserves to know the truth. If you feel like you aren't comfortable enough with him to tell him, then you definately aren't comfortable enough to sleep with him.
