    You know we can test for those things now, right? As long as everyone remains faithful to their partners its not an issue.

    If 300 people all get tested and are clean, they can all get together every night for a massive orgy and there is zero STI risk. As long as none of them sleep with anyone outside of the group that hasn’t been tested.

      you can’t just test for these things without symptoms.
      most of these diseases have dormant phases and active phases… like a cold sore….

        I don’t know how healthcare works where you live, but here you can. Its free, no questions asked. Get the results a couple of weeks later.

          Must be nice in that small section of western Europe. For the rest of us things are not so blissful.

          they don’t test for every single disease… it’s not where i live, it’s medical technology….
          show me a screening test that tests for every single SDI or STFU….

          repeating yourself is pointless. gimme proof or i do not care about the words you’re typing on here.

          show me… any country, any price, show me your comprehensive, 100% accurate screening of every possible STI… or even something close to that… i’ll hold my breath.

            Chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, gonorrhoea. Sure you could have herpes and that isn’t tested for there but it has pretty obvious symptoms. Its generally a good enough test for the general population and if you need something more specific you can just list your symptoms.

              lol… 4 is not a screen for **all STI’**s… and your dismissal of any other risk is insane.
              if herpes was that simple to stop, then nobody would have herpes… and that’s just one of the many that aren’t tested for.
              once you have symptoms, it’s usually too late.

                Sure if you are having new partners every week it probably isn’t enough to say you are clean for the next one but for most people it should be fine.

              they responded with “it tests for 3 diseases “.

              which is a lot different than screening for all of them.

              you come across as someone that misrepresents and lies about the reality of risks in order to get their partner to agree to something they otherwise wouldn’t….

              also, weak ass popsicle stick insult.

        Er? You absolutely can do an STI screen without symptoms. Some of the most common STIs don’t even usually have symptoms.
