I edit your poll to add the "yes" as an option Very Happy . Whether or not I would be mean about it really depends on the specifics of the situation Embarassed

Ok-

I recieved a text message on my phone from this guy. He wanted to catch up online, So to do it safely, i opened another account (with help of course- hopeless), so I could easily ban or delete this acount, if i needed to. Plus would also keep our regular e-mail and address secure.

We started talking, he he start hitting onto me- he hadn't changed, a real ladies man. But being older and more mature, It has become more sleezy.

Matt wasn't happy with this decsion to talk with him, matt felt i should have just personally e-mails all he girls on this guys myspace. I couldn't do that, how awful to find out that way...

We got talking about my girlfriend and his friend and whats been happening the last few years. Then about that night. He rembered.....Anyway long story short. I told him. With some insults, some hard truths, some mean and awful words. He says- "nope, you have the wrong person, mate." I explain to him, that it must be a shock- and why i wanted him to know, and how I know 100% it was him. How i wasn't placing any blame- but how it had Caused my cevical Cancer, and how dangerous it is for a women to contract...

Well, like i said abusive and extream words later. I siad For him to get checked, if not for me- then himself, and every other female out there. He told me he is clean...( how can this be?????) He said he had a full check up before he had a serious relationship with a girl, and was cleared, that was a few years ago....

well, what can i say? Just that I had it, got from him 10 years ago, and to keep checking and keep safe....

Crying or Very sad - definatly a dark place right now. Would I have done it again- sure. Even if it is just a seed in his mind, or makes him think about it, I would have saved someone, well, maybe.

When I first read your poll question, My first thought was, How can you catch cancer form someone? Confused But After reading your response I now know what you were refering to. When I was in treatment I looked like
"Death Walking". I stopped to visit a freind, his 6 year old walked off quickly. My friend had to explain that he could not catch my illness.

I think you did the right thing by telling this guy the truth. If it were me, and I had not said something. Then I found out that someone else got hurt, I would have trouble sleeping.

Well, as it's 11,30Pm and i'm out of bed- my guess another night of no sleep.

Thanks for your little admission. I wonder IF, i did do the right thing.

I left our hard and harsh-like conversation, feeling awful, used and wel,l dirty. I wondered why he was so sure, so adiment he was ok, tested and clear...
So did alot of research. I now wish I had done this first... I nver knew that Someone could have this Virus- HPV and carry it , then the bodie can fight this. Therfore the bodie rejecting this strain, as if a flue/or any virus. I was miss-informed with my specialist etc. I had been told once you have this, then you need to be treated... or turns into Cancer if undected...
I now know- and realise my words and heart felt plee, was on deaf ears.

Now I just look worse, feel worse and have hurt someone else, years past... He may very well be clear now, But he'll never know. That i wasnt blaming him, or it was him, that gave this too me. I'm not used, cheap or a easy lay. (sorry for the crude words) but how i feel. well felt at the time of the conversation....

Well, guess if the only thing good that comes out of this, he might think twice of doing this again....

Not sleeping must be going around.

I am not sure if they are pushing the Vacine for HPV in your country. But I am one that tries to tell everyone about it. If it can can help one person it is worth it.
And as for as knowing that a person doesn't carry a virus. I asked a Dr.
His reply was "males can carry it without knowing unless they are tested".

I am glad to see that you had a chance to tell him. If he wants to get tested, he can. It's up to him know.
Too many people dieing. Another freind lost the battle last week.
