So I (24F) have been dating this guy(26M) for about a month, and basically, he was my first, there was a condom slip accident, and on top of that I just found out I have an infection that was, according to my doctor, most likely carried by him.
I really like this guy and was starting to consider a serious relationship with him, but I’m torn. I get the condom thing being an accident, but an infection??? From what I understood he hasn’t been sexually active in a good while, and I get the possibility of him not having symptoms and passing it on to me without knowing, but it’s still a shitty situation I didn’t want to be in.
Yes, I am taking the medication I was prescribed, and yes, I am taking all the precautions, I just don’t know how to navigate this situation emotionally speaking, so any kind of advice would be very appreciated
Udate: I told him to get tested, he refused to accept the possibility of him being the one that gave me the infection and then tried to gaslight me into thinking I was overreacting over the situation. Needless to say, I cut off contact completely

hopefully a curable infection?
Depending on the STI, he may carry it for a long time and never have symptoms. It doesn’t mean he was unfaithful to you. Clarify it with your doctor.
Yeah, I don’t like Subarus either.
Ask him to get tested and see how he reacts. At 26 he should know better than to expose you to something from a previous partner.
