This whole thread has gotten completely derailed by AIDS.
AIDS doesn't stop me from sticking my man-bit into a willing female. Hell, it doesn't even cause me to wear a raincoat. There are better reasons. Herpes sucks. Syphilis is curable, but still isn't a fun time. And I don't make enough to have my wages garnished for child support. Conveniently enough, there's a method available to me to protect myself from all three as well as AIDS at the same time. So guys, wrap your junk. And girls, don't have casual sex with guys who refuse to wrap their junk. Problem solved.
As to the question posed in the OP, it all depends on the nature of the relationship. If I'm bumping uglies with a girl on a casual basis and she informs me of this, I'm likely to cease such activities. If it's a more lasting relationship than other factors come into play, such as the length of the relationship, the exact nature of my feelings for the lady in question and what disease we're talking. If it's something curable than treatment for her and testing for me are in order. If it's not something curable, well.. see above. I suspect that it would have to be handled on a case by case basis; fortunately, I have not been put in this situation to date.
