It doesn't matter to a disease committed or not.

To riff on Vannah's Russian Roulette analogy a bit, if one person has a gun pointed at you and pulls the trigger with one bullet in the gun, you have a around a 17% chance of getting shot (assuming a six shot revolver). How much do you think the chance goes up if, say, 100 people all have guns pointed at you with one bullet in each? The chance of each individual person shooting you is the same, but your chance of getting shot is one hell of a lot higher. It matters not if one of the people holding a gun is in a committed relationship - a bullet, like a disease, does not care. But it's specious to make the logical leap that because it doesn't care that it would be the same situation if it was only the committed relationship person holding the gun rather than that person and 99 of his friends.
Ginger said the same thing more succinctly but I'm known to be a windbag.
It's not a perfect analogy because in STD terms, not all "guns" are going to have a bullet in the chamber, but it's safest to assume that they all do.
I think it is good and healthy we are having this discussion, for people to show where they stand. I'd hate for this place to become like Dallas, where BB is openly advertised. People will still do it here of course but it shouldn't be normalized.
Ok what about providers with SO & husbands can you guarantee the clients that they are disease free?
