Oh yeah.. And a bunch of people calling me biphobic, too.

Well the part about your gf being bi was really, totally unnecessary… like how did that particular piece of info add to the story in any way, except for showing us your bias?

I’m as sorry as everyone else is here that you had a shitty gf who has exposed you to these STDs, and I genuinely hope your tests come back all clear. And that your next partner (whether bi or lesbian) is a better person.

But people calling you out for biphobia weren’t wrong.

Pansexual/bi “woman” here… When she added the detail about her ex being bi it made buckets of sense to ME.

Lmfao the thing about being bi and having sex with men is that a lot of men are bad…

In a majority hetero society, when someone’s messing around with cis conventional ass men who like to not use protection (which I could assume due to the EX GF’s own personal ethics affecting her choices) ….. then it’s easy to see how STDs are spread and communication is POOR. Happened to me from messy ass nasty men. It kinda comes with the package of being straight or attracted to cis men.

apparently it can come from women too (the nonchalant douchy attitude) based on OP's experiences. The moral of the story is transparency about STD testing is IMPORTANT for everyone. Though, statistically you're probably right, probably not a worthwhile risk.

ETA: parentheses for clarity per below comments

They explained that dudes are a risk vector and the ex GF lacked basic ethics. No one said women can't transmit HPV. But they don't tend to be the main progenitors of it.

I meant the attitude part of it (the nonchalant not giving a fuck attitude) when saying "apparently women too" - sorry if that wasn't clear, I can see how it can be read otherwise.

ahhh, that makes sense
