Regarding bold letters in areas of this article: DO NOT UNDO! Important statistical information is relevant to sex education, and the prevention of VD’s such as HIV AIDS! Please keep formating for the sake of International sexual health information.

I removed "for example, it is impossible to catch a disease from someone who caught it after you have ceased to have sex with them, or after they have been completely and effectively treated in such a way as to entirely remove the causative agent of the disease." because it wasn't true. lysdexia 08:35, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Why is it not true? -- The Anome 09:46, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I see Anome's point actually. While rhetoricly the statement may seem in need of a slight alteration, Lysdexia is seemingly missing the whole point of this article (all though this conjecture, is, possibly and hopefully, untrue)!

While you cannot catch a disease from someone who caught it after you stopped having sex with that person, the disease can still be spread from that individual, to a new sexual partner of that individual, and through that person's sexual partner, or sexual partner's partner and so on, you may easily become exposed to that same strain and strand of VD. So, yes, you can a former partner's desease after the fact.

Further complicating things, and hightening your risk ractor beyond your control, (and don't bother making an accusation of homophobophobia or pull any other heterophobic antics) would be the existance of bi or homosexualism in your sexual network, simply because it would allow the network to easily skip a step at least once (and that is only if there is once instance of bisexualism). Think about it, because it's completely true.

To be added

This article could possibly include a reference to the diagram which figures throughout the series The L Word. examples here: [1] via [2]

Great example. There are already many charts available that describe this same concept. The basic idea is if you have more than once sexual partner, you're exposing each one after your first partner with however many sexual partners your previous partners have been exposed to, and the only way to avoid this is to have only one sexual partner. The quick-fix straight solution: marriage.

To obtain a free copy of one of these charts (which I can't publish due to copyright laws), just call the Option Line at 1-800-395-HELP and ask about it. They can also give you info about sex and sexuality.
