I have a friend whose hubby broke out with genital warts and had to have them removed. They had been married 16 years and any infidelities occured at least 10 years prior. He blamed her, but she tested negative for the virus, and has been retested repeatedly. They have no idea where it came from, unless he picked it up during their seperation 10 years prior, and the virus lay dormant without her catching it. Nasty nasty stuff. And no, there is no cure for it, they can only treat the symptoms, one of which is cervical cancer. HPV exposure testing has indicated as many as 1 in 4 college students have been exposed, and there is belief among many researchers that it really isn't an STD but is everywhere like Staff and just waits for a weakened imune system.
My wifes uncle died of HepC. Never in IV drug user, never a transfusion, never any infidelity, never any indictaion he had it until he was in his late 60's. HepC can lay dormant for decades without showing any symptoms.
There is shit out there you can't wash off with ajax, and there are strains of Ghonorea (sp), Syphalis, etc. that are far worse than anything we usually get in the US, and these are far more common than HIV, and easier to transmit.
Whats really bad, is if something is caught, and you have other partners....
Sorry, I got off on a tirade an lost focus. Really though, if you need somebody, look for somebody that might be a keeper. One night stands are for dumb-ass college kids, not the intelligent, educated croud we have here.
YOU ARE BETTER THAN THAT....Remember it.
