Re: I think he has something

Dear Trew,

I’m dating this guy who I think might have some disease, and I don’t want to have sex with him yet. But we’ve been dating for three weeks and we both are ready. How would I know if he has AIDS or not?

Hey Diva321,

That is a serious question, along with a very serious topic. The only thing I can say is both of you need to go to your local health clinic and get tested together. If you guys are serious then this should be done. Considering the times we live in, it’s best to take these precautions even when having casual sex.

Condoms offer protection against some venereal diseases. They are less effective against herpes, venereal warts, and chlamydia, which are small enough to pass through the pores of the condom. If either partner has an active urethral infection or genital lesion, the only safe course is sexual abstinence. It’s sad, but it’s the truth.
