Please require STI tests of your partners. There was a thread recently here about STI testing. And there are anti-testing trolls on DCUM who insist it's not necessary. But STIs have increased hugely in the past few years. Please don't end up with one because you trusted a partner's word, especially when you are having sex with someone whom you haven't had to get to know personally before sleeping together. I am NOT saying that as judgement on your desires, OP, let me be very clear about that! I'm saying--be safe, every single time, even if that means delaying sex initially for testing.[/quote]

There is no anti-STI testing on the site that I have read. I feel like you are referring to a post I commented on and misinterpreted it here. One STD test is not the norm to test for unless you have symptoms (HSV2 for herpes)--just that herpes is not a usual one to get checked without symptoms per the CDC. It is not usually included unless you ask specifically because it is not advised for asymptomatic patients. I am not currently active, but when I am, I test before and after each person, use condoms and I get tested for everything except HSV2 because its not advisable unless symptomatic by my GP, OB/GYN per CDC guidelines.

I literally have not read anti-STD sentiment on this site at all.[/quote]
