I had several tests one of them being for the HIV antibody after finding out that the OMM has been - to put it mildly- sleeping around and having sexual contact with some high risk kinds of people and groups.

My HIV test was Negative. As were the STD tests. However, I was diagnosed with PID, which my Dr. says is caused by untreated and continuing infections such as chlamydia and trich. ( which I have had a couple of times in the 4 years with the OMM and have been treated for..) So, the fact that I am mid- 40's, my desire for a family isn't something that is a focal point of my life - so the sterility issues of PID aren't so important. What is important is that I have been scarred - yes literally scarred - inside from *My* bad choice..my choice to continue to see a man, for 4 years, when I was being almost constantly treated for some kind of "female" type infection. Yes, I know he had to be treated, but the man literally lives on antibiotics so most of the time he *was* being treated.. and some of the time .. I was ashamed ...so I didn't tell him .. but took the meds myself and stayed away for weeks at a time.. I know... I know... too stupid for a grown woman.. well I know better now.. although too late.

Before anyone jumps on me ...I make my H wear condoms when we have sex..and have done so since early in my relationship with the OMM. I guess I always had the fear in the back of my mind.. what has now become reality.
