STD Testing

Somebody in the men's lounge asked why we should get tested if we always use a cover. I found this a bit worrisome and felt compelled to post here in the coed forum...

Condoms are not 100% effective! Also, many of us partake in bbbj/daty, which both carry some risk. See:

In the same thread, someone else posted an awesome resource for STD testing: http://jcdhe.jocogov.org/health/walkin/stdtest

$50 flat rate for an STD screening which includes gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. For an extra charge you can also get herpes testing.

Hope this is seen as helpful and not as an attempt to shame this community or anything... that is not my intent!

I agree with you it is very important. It is scary when people say things like that. A provider told me once that she gets tested at the dentist. I know SOME of them do oral swabs but that is still not good enough especially in this line of business. #1 priority is to keep everybody safe!

This person must've been homeschooled...cuz I learned that in 7th grade. Shit all you have to do is read the side of the box...
