How terrible are the consequences of concealment after contracting a sexually transmitted disease?

In today's society, STDs are often associated with certain bad reputations. Therefore, some people have a heavy psychological burden after getting venereal diseases, feel that it is difficult to speak, not only do they avoid medical treatment, they dare not go to the hospital for examination, and sometimes they dare not confess to the other half.

On the question of whether to confess to a partner if you are infected with a sexually transmitted disease, this may be a debate topic with no absolute conclusion, but as a doctor, the advice provided to everyone from a medical point of view is definitely "to confess as soon as possible when you get sick".

What are the consequences of having a sexually transmitted disease and not telling your partner?

The first case: without the knowledge of the other party, unfortunately also infected and clinical symptoms, go to the hospital for examination and confirm the diagnosis, which is a great deception and harm for sexual partners. Anger and blame will be doubled.

Moreover, even if you get better after receiving unilateral treatment, you will be re-infected due to cross-infection between partners, thus entering a "thousand-year-old" situation.

The second situation: because of self-knowledge and illness, in sexual life to take a safer sexual protection behavior, this situation will also affect the passion of both parties, easy to produce sexual life disharmony, causing suspicion between both sides.

Therefore, when you have a sexually transmitted disease and do not tell each other, it not only increases the probability of the other party's infection, but also cannot avoid the "East Window Incident" forced to admit his own faults, which aggravates the harm to the other half physically and psychologically, and it is relatively more difficult to win the forgiveness of the other party.

In turn, choose to be frank and take responsibility for the attitude, if the other party has not been infected, then you can receive treatment yourself, if the other party has been infected, then the two sides actively treat together, effectively avoid cross-infection, both can shorten the number of days of treatment, but also easier to get each other's forgiveness.

In summary, in case one party has a sexually transmitted disease, it should be confessed as soon as possible, and the partner should be treated as soon as possible, and timely treatment is the best policy.
