Half of All Men Have Never Had an STD Test

Queens, here is your reminder to get an STD check every 6 months if you are sexually active (or more frequently!)

People cheat. People don't know their own STD status. People are asymptomatic carriers. If you're having sex, get checked regularly, and take the time to learn what's 'normal' for you in terms of vaginal health, that way you'll be better placed to identify when something isn't right. So many STDs can do a number on your health, not to mention your fertility.

See I have a pet theory/intuition that a lot of women’s fertility problems are caused by scarring from untreated and asymptomatic stds unknowingly caught from male carriers. This also goes for abnormal cervical cells from hpv. Men are literally biohazard.

I was talking to a guy earlier this year who admitted he hadn't had one since 2015. 2015!! Yet he had been sexually active this entire time. Honestly that grossed me out so much I ended up ghosting. If he's that lax about his sexual health then who knows what else he neglects. I wasn't willing to find out.

Some of the biggest scrotes I know take std tests regularly (and flaunt about it as if it’s an indicator of a fulfilling single sex life). So don’t confuse healthcare with high value, it doesn’t always match. Sadly

Always bring up testing for STDs ,and if a man gets defensive or starts talking that I haven't had sex in years bs .run that's not a red flag that's a whole fire. If he doesn't want to get tested .he doesn't get in your pants.

And by want I mean going to the Dr and producing results it's a simple blood test these days

An ex and his pickme friend were appalled, I tell you, appalled that I suggested he get tested after his ex-FWB called to say she had herpes. They slept together without a condom during their 6-month situationship, which should have been the biggest red flag ever. He suggested that we assume he have it and that he would take the suppressants than actually get tested to know for sure. Luckily I insisted and we both ended up being clean. But to this day, I’m just amazed that he would rather delude himself than do the obvious and responsible thing!

Pre FDS I was interested in a 'bad boy' who was in an open relationship with his girlfriend. He was so against taking STD tests that it was a massive red flag. I had enough sanity at that time to find that disgusting and a deal breaker and I didn't sleep with him. I just felt sorry for his girlfriend, who was super faithful to him but would have caught and STDs he brought back home. 🤢

My toxic ex cheated on me and when I asked him to get tested with me he said he “could tell” the girls were clean. He was from Kansas, so I doubt the sex ed there was that great, if at all, but what the fuck?!? I was like... “Oh, you can see AIDS?”

Do any of you have tips for affordable/covid safe testing? Are home tests a good option?
