There's no easy way to tell someone you have an STD, but these tips will help make it a little less difficult.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Medical information
Privacy
A matter-of-fact approach
Safe sex

Step 1: Have the talk before you have sex, and don't wait until things have gotten hot and heavy.

Step 2: Break the news in person. Sending the news via text message or e-mail is inappropriate.

Step 3: Pick a good time and place to break the news -- somewhere you can talk privately and without interruption.

Step 4: Approach the topic in a matter-of-fact way. Don't scare them with a long preamble about how you have something horrible to tell them and you don't know how to do it. Just tell them.

Tip: Stress how common STDs are, especially herpes, chlamydia, and HPV.

Step 5: Ask them if they've been tested. Many STDs are asymptomatic, so your date might have one and not know it.

Step 6: Take precautions and use protection to help prevent passing along your STD.

Step 7: If your date rejects you, accept it and move on. It just means they are not the right person for you.

I really hate assholes that think anyone who has an std is sleeps around with everyone and doesn't wear any protection. I only slept with two girls, wore protection the whole time and still got Hpv. It's not like they were notorious whores or anything either.
