Should I tell his ex about his STDs

I've nc for this as I've another dilemma on here .
This is not related but I got together with a man and before we got intimate , I asked him to get STI testing.
He has been found to have a cluster of warts at the base of his penis. They have been treated. I take
My Own sexual health very seriously.

He believes he got these from his ex partner but is refusing point blank to tell her . He believes he got them from her.

WWYD if you were me? I think this is appalling but it's also not my business in one way. I don't know her and would be scared of his reaction if I were to tell her .

I've finished with him for other reasons but his refusal to tell her of his sexual health has sealed the deal for me.

It is now absolutely none of your business. Like nothing to do with you at all.
So no, I don't think it's necessary to contact your exes ex to talk about their sexual health.

Do you know his ex? Is she your friend/colleague/relative?

currentdilemma · 12/07/2023 19:12

So you'd find her on Facebook or Instagram and send her a message? If you do, make a burner account!

I didn't know what to do tbh.
I still don't.

I read your other thread. I think you should leave it to him as a grown adult to talk to her about it. If he got it from her she will already know. I think you are just fishing for information to see how many other women he has slept with before you decide if you want to stick around or not.

Well as your ex's ex partner was obviously cheating on him I can understand why he doesn't see why he should tell her. She cheated and it's her responsibility to get herself tested. As you have now finished with him it's really none of your business, so just leave it alone.

I read your other thread and am glad you've ditched him. If he'd tested positive for something like syphilis, chlamydia or HIV I would feel a duty to tell her - sexual health services do it, when patients give them details, and I'd want to make sure she'd been informed. Warts not so much. They can go away on their own, are much less likely to threaten future health or fertility, and it's not a notifiable disease in the UK.
