Well, I suppose the answer would depend a lot on the situation. If I were to find out now that my boyfriend gave me an std then I would be very disappointed but I probably wouldn't break up with him if it was something that happened way back when and he didn't even know. Though, he was a virgin when I met him so I don't see that happening anyways.

I think there's a gray area with this though because there are many people that catch STDs without sexual contact and I wouldn't feel right punishing someone for that. Hell, I don't think I'd feel right punishing anyone for having something as hard to deal with as an STD. Unless of course, they knew their partner had it and weren't safe.
