Topic: Lyme an STD?

If my partner has Lyme, can he give it to me? He believes this to be true and although we do not wish to use protection,
We do as he is afraid he will give me Lyme. He has no other STD. He just is not sure about Lyme.

New here and hope this is not a repeat question. I looked at posts and was unable to find an answer.

Thanks.

It's an issue that's debated all the time. What I hear in support groups is half the time, both have it, also meaning half the time both don't have it.

So we then discuss whether someone's partner has a good immune system, or is able to detox well.

Jury is out on it. I say play it safe. Just my opinion.

Yes, it can be. It depends on how widespread it is within him. The more time left untreated the better the chances for spreading and body fluid contamination.

At that point the more contact the better the chances.

I gave it to my ex 100%, she was initially tested when she started with symptoms and nothing showed up. Since then, Ehricliosis showed up after some ABX. I have that as well. She's still neg. for lyme but we know how that goes.

I believe easier guy-to-girl
