If someone knowingly passed on a disease to you....

[coy_one]

How would you feel? Think you could ever forgive that person, even though they never disclosed it?

In the state of Maryland, if someone gives you a disease and doesn't disclose it, you can divorce that person.

I just want to know how others would feel, in this type of situation.

Depends. Minor stuff like a cold or flu, well, they're an asshole, but I can forgive. Major scary stuff like AIDS, herpes, etc? Nope. And they better make damned sure they stay out of my sight afterwards.

 

[EmpressFi]

I'm with Uncle Hommy.. if you knowingly gave me something that affects MY health..and possibly those of my loved ones.. you'd better pray I never lay hands on you.

In the state of New Mexico there's a hell of a lot of open desert. Lots of privacy and room to bury the body of the asshole that does that.

You could roofie him and have a totally sadistic tattoo artist put a large tat on his lower abdomen saying "I have an uncurable STD".

On his forehead works too.

If someone KNOWINGLY gave me a STD I think they would have to die. There is just absolutely no excuse for that.

Ohh.. I pick this one! Lol..

Knowingly?

There would be no where he could run. My family is quite large and widespread. Yes I hate them but rednecks with shot guns and hunting knives do have their advantages.

Uh, remind me never to mess with any of you people!

 

[littleone77]

Do you have a std you'd willing give to people? *tease*

Uhhh, let me think. Nope, nothing here!

I would never be able to forgive the other person, not in a million years. With AIDS I would report the person (if I couldn't find them) That is premeditated murder, IMHO. Herpes, well I'd kill em, slow..with malice aforethought.

Anything else that can be cured with pills and a shot...I'd beat the shit out of them, every time I saw them. *nods*

If it was hiv or anything in that strain, we'd be taking a vacation and I'd be taking the person fishing, I know a nice spot where sharks like to feed.

 

[graceanne]

Oddly enough a friend of a friend recently got herpes from her boyfriend, who knew he had it but didn't tell her. Suffice it to say that said boyfriend is hiding from her right now. She's pretty pissed.

As for me, I like Betticus' idea. But I'd add to it. I'd put 'i have an incurable std' on the lower stomach and 'asshole' on the forhead. Then I'd put it backwards, too, so that s/he would see it everytime they look in the mirror.

 

[snowy ciara]

A cold or something, no biggie. An std, lock n load.

 

[graceanne]

colds and stuff I don't care about, to tell the truth. But K and I were talking about this sort of thing awhile ago, when that guy knowingly flew with TB. The thing with me is that I can't take my crohns meds if I have TB - the TB'd kill me. And if I can't take my crohns meds, the crohns will kill me. So, if I get TB I'm dead one way or the other. If I had been on that plane with that guy I'd have sued his ass off. And then I'd have met him in a dark alley one night and let him know what hoplessness feels like.

 

[snowy ciara]

I hadn't thought of the Chron's situation. And you think I would've after the whole midol/prednisone thing this afternoon.

On second thought, if I got something icky where I'd have to choose one over the other, he'd have to die. After I sued the hell out of him.

 

[Homburg]

Uh, remind me never to mess with any of you people!

But we're good to know, just in case

 

[snowy ciara]

Yeah! Just in case someone DID give you a disease, you know where to go for, um, help and stuff like that.

 

[Netzach]

I know that things like herpes move around pretty easily, but honestly I am *religious* about HIV and basically treat everyone I know other than M as if they are positive. I don't swallow anyone's load, which is behavior I know other people engage in without a lot of worry. Every behavior I engage in is "low risk" on the CDC scales, or latex clad to a fault.

So if someone gave me HIV, I would have to chalk it up to unfortunate accident and my own damn fault to an extent.

I'm much more worried about eating a pile of spinach with E Coli in it, honestly, as that would likely do me in. And catching TB. And that snotty kid with a fesh MRSI licking the magazines in the blood test lab waiting room. I would like to kill everyone who thinks their small children snotting on an immunocompromised person like me is "cute."

I do think that people who have STD's and run around having sex without disclosure or protection are assholes, yeah. They're out there though, so take only risks you can shoulder in good conscience and do what you can - whatever you can - to protect yourself.

I have to agree. This happened to a friend of mine not too long ago. She was very careful for a long time with a boyfriend and after they were engaged they had unprotected sex and she caught herpes from him. It was terrible for her, still is. He had it for years and didn't tell her. I'm all for the whole shallow grave in the desert for someone that would knowingly do that to someone else. At the very least the tattoo......

giggling like a madwoman Dani, I saw the av, but the "Daddy" part didn't register, just that it's Betticus. I was reading the post saying "that doesn't sound like Betticus. The writing style is all wrong." and then I get to your name and go "Dani must be signed on to Betticus's computer..." It finally registered that you have his pic for your av.

I need to wake up some! It's a snow day here and I just woke up about 20 minutes ago.

i was thinking the same thing. it took me a minute to realise they had each others pictures up

 

[catalina_francisco]

While I would not be overjoyed, if it was because I had not taken all the necessary precautions myself, I would see myself as equally blameworthy and assume the responsibility. I am still amazed at how many people think oral sex is safe...sheeesh, there are many unhappy people who have herpes now as a result of engaging in oral sex with someone who was not exhibiting any sign of outbreak at the time....really no-one to blame but yourself if you play russian roulette with such things these days.

I'd sue.


And then I'd hunt them down and have them beaten bloody.
