Author Toodaloo Posted March 26, 2015 Author Posted March 26, 2015 Thanks for the info Toodaloo. I always used a condom with my last partner (so far my only sexual partner), and would plan to use one as a matter of course unless I wanted to have children. I do appreciate the information, I might get myself booked for a routine checkup soon just to be on the safe side. I didn't suspect her of sleeping around, and like I said, we always practiced safe sex but it doesn't hurt to be sure. This was probably nearly six months ago since we broke up, but I might look into it now while I'm looking for someone new as well. What should I ask for when going to a GP? Blood test and general check-up? Specifically ask about STDs? Speak to your doctor, or if you go to a sexual health clinic the nurse there. they are far more up on this stuff than I am. I only think about it when I am thinking of getting together with a new partner and when I have ended things. Let them know that you have not had symptoms but you just want to be sure. You are what is called "low risk". I consider it the same as an MOT and service on your car. Probably nothing wrong but best to get it checked in case there is. Or if you have had symptoms of anything unusual let them know what that is. Everything from smell, consistency, color of both urine and semen, any unusual sensations etc. Chances are you will be absolutely fine. But you can carry some of this stuff and not know it. I doubt that they will test you for HIV or AIDS as that is rare now and if you practice what you preach you are low risk. I had them both done purely because I am positive that my ex cheated with several women. But there are several others that are very easy to catch as well as treat and cure! 1
