Syphilis is curable; it's a bacterium.
And HIV is permanent (so far) but totally treatable and suppressible with modern medications.
So, as we've said, it's like saying that because they had "consequences" of sex, the STD, they have to not have the medications to stop it from ruining their life because they "should have known better when they chose to have sex".
So the fact they would carry that for the rest of their lives is irrelevant? Have you all gone completely mental?
Its different from being pregnant and getting pregnant is a circumstance unique to women. Noones arguing against that.
But to say that, what? Its *nothing*? That it isn't worthy of being considered even remotely being in the same league?
If that person, male or female reveals their condition they will be treated negatively for the rest of their lives. I don't consider that nothing. Sorry. To say that women are the only ones who suffer the consequences of unprotected sex is just wrong. Demonstrably wrong.
Is that really something that needs to be responded to with "Oh yeeeeah but people can see when you're pregnant." Oh cool, I'll just pop round to Africa and tell everyone theres nothing to worry about then.
I like how you completely ignored my point. If you think being forced to carry an unwanted pregnancy is a problem that only lasts for 10 months. You are wrong.
