User ImageI appoint *you* Secretary of Cheese, and


My guy had sex with a girl he barely knew a few years ago and -without knowing- contracted an STI. I've known him for a really long time and about 4 months into our actual relationship, I wanted to have sex with him. Maybe I was rushing it, I didn't care and still don't, it was exactly what I wanted at that moment and that's all that matters to me. (I try not to regret anything I did on purpose.)

In March, I made the mistake of not using a condom (I was on birth control, but I don't need to be lectured about that, I knew it was stupid right after I did it).

Since March my body was doing weird things and just wasn't working right. Less than a month ago, I learned that my cervix and uterus is covered in sores, there's a lot of them and it's really damaged me inside and because of it, my monthly cycle is all screwed up and causing me immense pain.

The doctor told me that the damage is irreversible and that it will probably scar and has probably already left me unable to get pregnant without some sort of help. There's just too many sores and when it scars there will be nothing for the embryo to hold onto easily.

Even though it's painful, I still want to have sex with him -I just want the physical closeness to him- but he just says no, and that he doesn't want to hurt me any more. He'll "play" with me, but won't actually have sex with me. He's got the STI too, and the damage I have is already irreversible, we'd be using a condom, and we've already both got it, so my question is:

On valentines day, I wanted to do something special because that was the night I lost my virginity to him last year, would it be that bad if we just did it that night?

I'm sorry if I'm being really stupid about it, and please don't get angry with me for this, I was just wondering if anyone knew if there would be too much of a problem with it, I'm not able to ask a doctor offhand ):

BTW I'm 19 in case anyone needed to know...

You're together, on birth control, and both already have the STD anyway. Assuming the doctor didn't tell you that you can't have sex anymore, then it sounds like it's just a matter of how painful sex is for you. If you can handle it and think it's worth it, go for it. If it's too painful and not worth it, don't. Only you can decide what's right for you. 3nodding

Okie, thanks, I just thought someone might think it's a big no-no because it might have been dangerous, I guess I just needed a second opinion sweatdrop The doctor just said I should be careful, he never said anything else though, and I'm an orphan patient so I don't see one again til March!

If you both have the STD I don't see why it would be dangerous or why you would have to be careful with this guy. You'd certainly have to be careful with future partners. But your current one already has the STD. I don't think he can catch it double, so I see no cause for concern. blaugh Although if you want to double check you can always call the doctor's office or a clinic. 3nodding

Yeah, my fiance was going to come with me to my next appointment to figure everything out. We really just need to get rid of it, especially before we get married User Image

I don't know what kind of STI you have though (and you don't have to say! smile I know it's personal), so the above information might not apply. Hopefully you two can get rid of it though.

I also wanted to say thank you for sharing your story. I hope people read this and learn the dangers of STI's.

Lol it's alright, I was told I either have Trich, or Gonorrhea. They're not completely sure yet, they think it might be both (they want to run another couple of tests first), but I was talking to my aunt's friend (who awesomely turns out to be a public health nurse) and she said that since we both have it, there really shouldn't be a problem with it.

I do always try to warn others about it though, girls don't always think to get their guys tested and vice-versa. I wish I had've thought of it before. I just want girls to protect themselves because it would be a shame for them to end up like I did, my damage is irreversible after all sad
