A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

My friend has this major problem. She has not being dating for five years until last summer, with this guys she met at the lake. They are very happy together. It is seriously true love. But she found out that he has an STD. She has never had sex with anyone before and was really looking forward to having sex with him finally. She wants to be with him still but she doesnt want to stay a virgin forever..... And there is no possible way she would have sex with anyone else while she is with him. So what should she do?

Depends what it is but she needs advice. Many, many people catch STDs at some time in their lives. There is a shame associated with it which is not always very helpful and neither does it reflect life. I am in my mid forties and all of my friends, most of whom have been married for years, at one stage caught something, even if just thrush. If it can't be cured by antibiotics, say is herpes, she needs advice from a doctor. This is only transmitted when the blisters are there etc. It will be a matter of being practical and getting the right information about condoms/birth control etc.

Tell him to go to the doctor and get some medication to clear the infection up. This happened before she knew him, and therefore is not her problem. When he gets the ok, then use a condom each and every time, so there is no risk of her picking up an infection from him.

Well if you're asking if she should have sex with a guy that has an Sti then obviously the answer would 'not until it's cleared up and he has finished his courses of medication'. As much as she was looking forward to it, does she really want to risk her health and potentially her fertility?
