I was skimming the king face topics, and came across a few points that made me curious.

In my younger days I didn’t really think about the possibility of l having anything until a girl I knew, for years (even went to school with) burned me. Thankfully it was temporary, even though it felt like hell a for a day.

After that I started getting tested, full panel, every three months; I do extra tests when I’m messing with a new girl. I picked a private lab and it costs like $200. I also request it when I do a physical with my doctors. I used to get nervous or even embarrassed but that faded away pretty quickly.

I feel like the peace of mind, knowing I’m clean, is worth it.

For anybody who doesn’t get tested regularly, and is going raw (I can’t lie, I do it after a girl gets tested and is clean. I hate rubbers) do feel like there’s a stigma or something stopping you from getting tested? Are you worried about costs?

I think it would be cool if this topic could be a judgment free zone for anyone who has questions or worries about potentially being positive for something or potential costs. I hope that others can respond to any concerns to clear up any misconceptions. People fukk up from time to time. It doesn’t make you a bad person or a dirty person. shyts out there and folks don’t even know they have it. I’m willing to give whatever advice, I can, to anyone who wants to seek testing or treatment but isn’t sure. Your health is important, you can always plot on slashing that slut buckets tires later.


***If this topics takes off and anyone exposes a DM’d question or private convo about reproductive health issues. I hope the kids can agree that that shyt should be an instant ban.

OP is right getting std tests has a stigma. I remember getting tested in college just to be proactive. The doc was asking me wild questions like, “have you had unprotected anal sex?” “Have you had unprotected sex with a prostitute?” shyt had me like :dahell: I told him no to all his questions and he looked at me like “why tf are you here?” :skip:



but as I got older I had some scares plus I was dealing with multiple women so I’d get tested like 2-3x a year. It got to the point where I wasn’t sweating the stigma because it was nice to have the piece of mind.

unfortunately most std testing is reactive.

nah there is no stigma to getting tested regularly. the stigma is in the behavior of NOT getting tested frequently.

when i ask a girl when the last time was she got tested and its been over a year ago, i usually lose interest.

a woman who doesnt get tested regularly usually falls under one of the following categoriess:

1. she's not financially stable enough to afford it.
2. she does not fully understand why checkups are necessary..ie. she's not educated. most likely a high school drop out. most likely has just GED, if that.
3. she doesnt really take care of herself down there (which means there's a good chance she stinks. nope, this is a nono).
4. she knows she needs to get checked but classifies the act of actually going to get tested as a great bore (its not exciting. its inconvenient)
- if she falls under this category, she's a thrill seeker.

BRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOKKKKKKLLLLLYYYYYNNNN
Aight so I have a confession to make. I had unprotected sex with a chick that had hsv2 a few months back maybe in February. I was paranoid as shyt even though she didn't have an outbreak, luckily I got tested but it's just shyt that makes you think. There's a lot of broads out there with herpes and no outbreaks, get tested and strap up. She told me she had it and I always wore a condom but one drunk night had a nikka paranoid. Also, the thing is there's a lot of ppl out there both men and women having unprotected sex and asymptomatic.

In my wild days, I’d always get tested at least a month after hooking up with some randoms. And immediately the day after getting the results, I’d smash some more floozies raw and the fun would begin again. :snoop:

The only stigma is from actually having an STD. Look at how we always roasting Usher and NBA Youngboy.

Routine STI/STD tests don't test for herpes

I wore protection and still got it from a chick that didn't even know she had it

The doctor told me I don't even have to disclose
:gucci:

I haven't had any symptoms since my first outbreak but I take daily antivirals just in case. 3 different pharmacies were completely out of prescription Valtrex so I had to wait a few days to get a refill. Last time my main pharmacy was out of stock as well. How common is hsv if the medication is out of stock so often?

I disclose to all partners beforehand and the 3 chicks I'm seeing right now also have hsv2. They didn't say shyt about it until I disclosed that I have it
:francis:

Stay safe out there, y'all

I have all my STD results on my phone since my doc emails them to me. My main chick also has receipts
:blessed: And she got an IUD :mjlit:
