Why get STD tested once?
People will go to any limit to avoid getting tested for STDs. Someone recently wrote to us saying that checking a one month old STD test can’t guarantee that he/she doesn’t have STD today and no one will get blood test every time before sex isn’t it? So what is the point?
Very true. No one gets tested before each sex session and a month old test report is no guarantee that the person won’t have STD. True. But please understand that tests are NOT to check your infection status on that particular day or date! It is to check your history, check if you have been following safe sex practices in the past. Getting tested shows that the person’s sex life till that point in time has been safe and whatever they have been doing till now has been safe. The results are a reflection of his past sexual explorations. It is all about probability and statistics. A clean result increases the probability that his future state will be status quo unless the person has a dramatic shift in his lifestyle. Negative test results means:
1. The person has been cautious in the past and will most probably remain cautious going ahead too.
2. The person is conscious of the dangers of STDs and has gone through the stress of waiting for test results and people usually don’t do silly things after that experience.
3. Awareness level of the person/couple around safe sex is high.
The only 100% guarantee of not getting an STD is to abstain from sex completely. That is obviously not the right path unless you’re becoming a monk or a nun. The best we can do is to take precautions. We have similar number of road deaths in a year compared to STD. We don’t stop driving. We take precautions - wear seat belts and drive slow and don’t drive when high! Similarly, we won’t give up sex and swinging but we want to add precautions - Always wear condoms and get tested at least twice a year for STDs to make sure that our lifestyle choices have been safe! Make sure you ask for ecent reports from all new lovers!
Remember that deadly STDs like Herpes, Syphilis, HPV can’t be stopped by condoms. They spread from intimate skin to skin contact also eg. Oral sex
