What would you do if your partner told you they had AIDS?

Would you leave them? I always worry that my boyfriend has something because he was pretty wild before I met him. I doubt he has AIDS but what if someone you were already in love with told you that. What would you do?

I would be very, very angry that they did not tell me sooner. Whether I leave them or not depends entirely on the person.yentlequible

I would have him get tested before I did anything with him if I were you it's better to be safe than sorry, especially since you say he has a wild past. Whether or not I stayed with them would probably depend on the person. PerfectCircles

I would be angry beyond belief and I would leave them at the drop of a hat. I know it might sound harsh, but what respect would they have for me if they were willing to pass HIV on to me? That is highly selfish.

Anger comes to mind.

Bathe in Purell ...

[spoiler] Juuuuuusst KIDDING!!! I would be angry, though. If they waited to tell me after they found out it's like not caring if your GF/BF gets bit by a Rattler, not cool. [/spoiler]

TC, for your own good, please ask your boyfriend to get an STD test. They can check for HIV, and if he has full blown aids, they'll know that too. Why the hell would you have sex with somebody who you know has been "wild" in the past without even asking them to get tested? That's pretty irresponsible and could cost you your life if he does have something.

EDIT: read above post. do it before you have sex, there is no "maybe", you NEED to make sure both of you get tested.

First, get tested to determine my HIV status. If positive, might as well stay together. If negative, it's bye bye love

I'd probably get them to bed with a hot water bottle and a couple of Asprin until they got better.

...Didn't some guy called free_disease make this exact same thread yesterday? What's with this site and AIDS!?

In any case, I'd get tested.

I would be VERY pissed off. It's like they took the whole "trust" part of the relationship and threw it out the window.

I would break up with this partner without any hesitation.

SalmonCatching

Before I'd do it, of course, I'd get them tested. If they did, goodbye. Sorry, I can't have a dream partner if they have something that's incurable.

Borders on manslaughter even.

If it happened to me I'd be gone instantly. Simple choice, either

A) Leave, find someone else, live a long happy life.

or

B) Stay with them, watch them waste away and die, possibly catch it yourself and die, and never have children.

If I still wanted to date her, I would, but I wouldn't have sex with her and we would adopt instead if it ever came down to marriage.Genetic_Code

Depends on the circumstances. If she's upfront about it and I see a future ahead for us, I might stick around
