But what happens if your doctor is wrong and fails to tell you that they were wrong. But what to do if they go about covering it up from you for years?
Does it change who you are as a person? Does it make you more cautious of who you date? What about how you date-exclusive relationships only or do you attempt to do the casual thing?
If you found out you were misdiagnosed what would be the first thing you do? Go out for a one night (safe) stand? Call up an old bed buddy? Jump the new person you are dating and lick them from head to toe, enjoying the fact that you don't have to have that awkward conversation?
How would you feel about the time spent believing you had a STD? How would you view yourself differently knowing that you were actually always clean?
Upon discovery of my misdiagnoses, failure to rectify the mistake, and treatment for a nonexistent STD, I would contact an attorney, news outlets, and begin proceedings to have the responsible doctors license withdrawn.
ReplyDeleteIn regards to any possible alteration in my dating or sex life, I am naturally overcautious and conscientious when it comes to relationships and intimacy, so nothing would change other than the fact that I would inform anyone in my life in that capacity of my infection.
Upon the revelation of the truth, I would not change anything, although I would take a deep breath of joy and relief, and ask for test results on paper. As horrid and miserable as this unfounded fear would have been, it would not have altered my self image or opinion, although it would have cemented my already strict and stringent adherence to safety procedures regarding sexual practices.
