Have YOU or anyone you know, ever had an STI?

No. I have had a pretty wide-ranging sexual past but virtually all of it involved the use of condoms.

no luckylady

tho reason for having a test recently was to have no condom sex with bf so we both had a full check

I had one in my 20s - trich something or other and it was most unpleasant but went very quickly after treatment.

It happened during one of the very rare times I didn't insist on belt and braces with the boyfriend of the time. Men are carriers and symptom free iirc.

Just me and fawkeoff willing to say yes then. Looks like this will be a pretty short thread then or with lots of people saying not me guv.

i dont mind admitting it....doesnt make me a bad person...was on a break with now ex and he went with people and i went with one person....so either him or now ex gave it to me....doesnt make me a trollop

I caught 'children' from sex - twice!

fawkeoff, I won't even use the word admit! It's not a crime or anything - we were just unlucky, STIs are not exactly unusual.

i said yes already before you

WR??

ok, so 4 of us have had an STI (4 out of the many thousands who post here!)

This isn't in chat is it??

I had chlamydia 3 months ago, and only ever been with hubby, but he works abroad and spends most of his time away but is saying nothing......

yes i have

and people I know have

well that would make sense really wouldn't it as one of them gave it to me

but I mean, people I know other than that have also

I might have had (probably did, come to think of it). I had a dodgy smear test many years ago that could have been the result of an HPV infection (although I never had any other symptoms and I was never tested - luckily I didn't need any treatment and have had no problems since). I used condoms, and the GP thinks that it was probably spread through non-penetrative sex.

I caught herpes from a bloke I was seeing in university. And we used protection.

I also had warts in my early twenties.

I was no more a slapper than anyone else I knew... just unlucky.

What's this I don't know a soul big deal? It's just piling up the stigma. Very modern. (I don't think.)

I've had chlamydia - probably had had it for quite a long time, as it's completely "silent" in women, before it was picked up at a (very sensible, free, supportive & well-organised) general screening we were all offered when I went to grad school. It is likely that the effects of that chlamydia contributed to the miscarriages I had years & years later. So let's not get all whispery giggly, OK, OP?

You will never get a woman to admit this Cod! Mern will - women defo not

Well apart from the above two. Brave ladies. Kudos to you

yep!..not warts,not herpes

Is there actually a stigma about chlamydia?

My friend caught gornorrhoea (sp?) from a bloke she was seeing. It was terrible for her, she was really ill for ages. It was just lucky she found out early and had no lasting damage.

whitetulips fucking wanker....he doesnt have to say anything does he????

I'm not ashamed of it, and you're right i shouldnt feel like it's a confession.....just one of those things....just we are brave enough to wear our badges
