Not if its catching and they could get it and not if it is going to impact you in any way and make you less available in the relationship. I am not sure what else is left.

No, because if you get ill around them, they need to know what's wrong with you and what meds you may need, so that they can take care of you. Also, if they find out without your telling them, they could get hurt that you didn't love/care/have enough faith in them to be honest in the first place.

If it's serious, no. If they're your partner you should be honest with them. If you're with the right person, they'll stick by you.

Not cool....it's not out of the ordinary to not share such details on first dates....but once the possibility of intimacy is there, all disclosure is mandatory....unless you're Satan with herpes...

It probably isn't a good idea. They are likely to find out or guess that something is wrong, and will be hurt that you didn't tell them sooner

That depends. If it's an STI/STD then totally NOT. If it's something that does not affect your relationship, and is not contageous, then it's up to you whether to share or not, but don't expect them to be happy if you keep this information secret for a long time, then tell them later.
