KatZee Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) unless you have been tested, there is no way of knowing I don't know why someone WOULDN'T be tested. If you're sexually active you should be going to the gyno once a year. I'm on the pill so I'm required to go to the gyno TWICE a year. Also, this thread is pretty extensive so I haven't read through everything, but what is wrong with asking for an STD test from a new partner? I myself hate condoms, I prefer to use without and if I meet a new guy and have no clue of his past, who he's been with, how clean or dirty he may be, I'm definitely not going to have unprotected sex until we both get tested and show each other that we're clean. I guess that's sort of like putting it on "hold" in a way? But also, I don't know the whole background on this guy so he may be a dick like everyone else is saying. Edited November 28, 2012 by KatZee
sweetjasmine Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 He told me he wants to put our relationship on hold until I bring proof that i dont have it Oh jeez. Then he should get tested, too, right? And a few times just in case there are any false negatives, right? You may be better off putting the relationship on hold until he's no longer a jerk, but don't hold your breath on that one... I don't know why someone WOULDN'T be tested. If you're sexually active you should be going to the gyno once a year. I'm on the pill so I'm required to go to the gyno TWICE a year. I didn't go back to check which post the quote is from, but I'm pretty sure Eleanor was talking about HSV-1, which is usually an oral infection. Your gyno doesn't test for oral infections. Also, this thread is pretty extensive so I haven't read through everything, but what is wrong with asking for an STD test from a new partner? Absolutely nothing. The discussion was about the other strain of herpes, which most people get from kissing, sharing drinks, sharing utensils, etc. 1
Author eleanorhurting Posted November 28, 2012 Author Posted November 28, 2012 I think this would be a good moment to get myself tested Maybe I am in the anger/denial mode still but it still has not hit me Today I interviewed at the program I have loved the most so far and I asked several of the residents what the single scene is like in that city, thereby proclaiming my recently acquired single status 6

veggirl Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 Go El, go! You don't need Fred. That guy's got a few screws loose all around.
BehindBlueEyes Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 The wisdom of occupational licensing when it comes to physicians should come into question when examples like this emerge... I know! Wait till he encounters butthole sores.....he may fall faint and die. Med student? really? Bwaaahahahaha
Author eleanorhurting Posted December 29, 2012 Author Posted December 29, 2012 Umm I guess I should update this thread. I got tested and I DON'T have herpes or anything else! Also, after a brief reconciliation, we broke up for good. It has been hard. Not as bad as other breakups but I am doing better than I thought. I have my weak moments and I post here. I am sure i will have worse moments. I am trying to enjoy my vacations with all of my friends and be optimistic about the future! 5
