A member asked:
If diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection, would you tell your partner?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Although it can be a difficult discussion, it is very important to tell your partner. If you have an STD, then they likely have an STD, and they can re-infect you. Be prepared for them to be upset or accusatory, but know that you're doing the right thing. You can anonymously tell them through https://inspot.org/ or if you live outside the US search "anonymous std test"
