CaptR -> RE: Should a person disclose... (10/12/2014 7:00:03 AM)

I feel any information that's important regarding whether or not two people are compatible should be asked about before committing to a point that one suffers irreversible regret of any sort. I don't condone lying by omission but nor do I place the onus solely on one person for the dissemination of pertinent info. If I were to still be seeking a prospective partner and did not glean the info that defines "deal breaker" to me and it's disclosed during a face to face then shame on me for not asking prior to meeting. I believe the OP stated he was told of his prospects condition prior to any physical involvement. It could have gone much worse.
As for hiding ones identity on social media there are those that choose to and those that don't for whatever personal reasons. By all means if you're comfortable telling the world you have, HPV, HSV, HIV, crabs, chiggers or cooties go for it. I'm defending the position of those who aren't and prefer a modicum of privacy until they're comfortable giving that information to someone as long as they do so before it impacts that persons health and well being. If you're told in person and it pissed you off, oh well. Put your big boy or girl pants on and get over the fact you had a disappointment in your special life instead of an std.
I'm sure there is private information quite a few people retain right here on this site, dating sites, etc that's not disclosed prior to meeting someone. Not everyone babbles away their life story and health issues to every Tom, Dick and Jane spoken to on the internet. Comfort and trust with anyone is defined on many levels and built from both sides of the fence and don't think your pastor, boss, neighbor or even spouse isn't perusing sites like this. If some day hypothetical you come face to face with one of them via interaction here it just may be because the right questions weren't asked or, someone just lied.
