Re: couple admitted positive - what now?
I'm sure this felt like a ton a bricks..... Wow!
Des, I'm gonna be honest. Here is what I would do and why.
I feel I want to treat people that I have had sex with, the same as I would want in return. For me, If I contracted any STD that I knew of, I would tell everyone that we have ever had sex with.
Our group is not that large, we can testify we know and remember every single person that we have ever had sex with.... in our lives.. None, have fallen off the face of the earth. Every one of them would tell you they know how I feel. It's who I am, and the ground I stand on. We all have to be somewhere. Its not about statics to me, the people I have had sex with are not just a number, they are and will always be more than that.
I don't expect everyone to agree how I feel. Like I say its just the ground I choose to stand on. If my idea of being open about contracting or coming in contact with those that have STD"S,, prevents some one from having sex with me. So be it. So far though, no one has turned me down because I would tell them I contracted something OR came in contact with someone who has knowingly.
Here is what I would do, but only because those I have had sex with or may possibly have sex with know how I feel beforehand. If you don't want people to know about STD's you might have or don't want others to know. I'm the last person you want to tell.
So for me having a friend in the group who told me this putting the weight on my shoulders. I say, "you tell our friends or I will..... And I will, its up to you !
Des, I'm in now way saying this is what should be done. We just feel this works for us.
