It sounds like all asari are aware of ADY and that's a big reason for the stigma against purebloods. The odds are so astronomical that I don't think it would be more than a niggling fear right now. She's a century or two away from having children. I'm not even sure she can have children right now or within Shep's lifetime.

If Liara knew about the Ardat-Yakshi, why wouldn't she have brought it up when talking about the discrimination and bigotry purebloods face in ME1? I know the condition obviously hadn't been conceived yet by the writers, but you have to work it into Liara's character. She would have told Shepard about them if she knew, I think.
As it stands, she believes purebloods are discriminated against b/c she thinks that the asari feel that they do not gain anything on a genetic level from reproducing with another asari.

Most people don't bring up their potential genetic shortcomings when starting to woo a new partner
'Hey Shepard, I like you. By the way, if we ever have kids together, they could become crazy space vampires.'

Maybe she is scared that Shepard would not like her if he found out about that?

I don't recall Samara saying anything about her partner(s).
And I "play both sides" *whimpers plaintively*

I had the impression that Ardat-Yakshi were extremely rare.

It is suspected that this condition is what lies at the root of the asari prejudice against purebloods. Samara, a pureblood herself, states that the condition is as old as the asari species, and that it appears much more frequently in the daughters of purebloods.

Samara says she was a pureblood and so where her partners, she does not outright say it however. In fact Samara never says things outright.

Don't give me playful snark!
Liara would have informed Shepard about the Ardat-Yakshi b/c, like I said, she's always very honest and forthright. She's not secretive or deceptive like that. These are traits that make up a large part of her personality.
She wouldn't have willingly entered into a relationship if she thought it could eventually cause harm, and not tell Shepard about it.

I looked it up on the wiki. Here's what they say:It is suspected that this condition is what lies at the root of the asari prejudice against purebloods. Samara, a pureblood herself, states that the condition is as old as the asari species, and that it appears much more frequently in the daughters of purebloods.
So, it's possible but not likely.

So, she just hints at it then?
I really need to go grab her and replay these dialogs..

I know, but not even the most honest person is going to drop that bomb so early in the relationship. It would be kind of awkward as Liara doesn't even know if Shepard would ever want children with her.

Remember when people were intially trying to rationalise Liara's "character change" in ME2 with her becoming an Ardat-Yakshi?
Ughhhhhh.

The Ardat-Yakshi thing confuses me as we have gone over awhile ago in the thread. Unless they evolved to a point that would make them highly acute to pureblood-ness. Er. Something like that.
