Should He Get Screened Too?

Hey everyone,

On Thursday I'm going to get screened for STD's.
I've only slept with one guy, and that's my present boyfriend.
However, before being with me,
he’d other sexual relationships.

We have had unprotected sex.
If I have clear results, can I assume that he is clear as well?
I figure I can because we've had unprotected sex and I would have gotten anything he has by now.

Mature answers only please!

Answer:
Hello Betty, YES, he should get screened too. You should also get a copy of his test results since STD screens are commonly limited. You need to read the names of all the STDs that were tested for, such as HIV, HPV, Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Herpes, Chlamydia, and Hepatitis. Infections such as herpes can be hiding in both your bodies, only to come out later. Of course, unprotected sex also opens you two up to becoming parents real swiftly. Be wise. Use protection for now. All the time.

Answer:
No, not at all. If you are planning to continue having unprotected sex and he has had past sexual relationships, he still might have something, and you could still get it. Even if you haven't contracted an STD from him, he still might have one, and if you’re going to continue to have unprotected sex, it would be safest for him to be tested as well.

Answer:
Regardless of the unprotected sex once, you might not get it the first time but if go back the next time unprotected you’ll be sure to bring something home with you the next time. Let's just state that you were lucky this time. Have you ever played Russian Roulette? Well it doesn't matter if you answered because we already know the answer. STDs don't know anybody but will be happy to make home in anybody be smart and take control of your sexual life and body. Don't regret not protected yourself just do it for yourself. Go ahead get tested and get an HIV test while you're at it. A boy/man won’t tell you they have something and most of the time they don't know they have a disease. Take Care

Answer:
When you go in for your test, ask your doctor. He is best able to advise you on that. And quit gambling with unprotected sex. If he's been that sexually active before, there is no reason to believe he won't continue his unsafe practices while he's going with you. He's a tragedy waiting to happen!

Be safe and you won't have to worry and subject yourself to such tests.

Good luck.

Answer:
NEVER NEVER ASSUME!! I’ve heard of so many people saying ” well my girlfriends in the past have been checked, so im assuming im clean too. I ended up with an STD and I’ve always been clean, always. My doctor and I concluded that my husband had contracted it before we were married… be careful and always were a condom. trust me! good luck

Answer:
hiv can go undetected for up to a year in someone that has it. If you get tested clear now, and again in one year, then you can assume he’s clear, not before. He really should be tested too, and again in a year.

---

Answer:
STDs can lie dormant for about 6 months. Although you might not have any signs as of right now, they might not be visible. And the test might not show that you’ve any STDs. Depending on how in depth the test is given.

---

Answer:
you should still have him checked, STD's don't ALWAYS transfer on intercourse, but there’s a chance they will. having sex once and remaining clean doesn't disprove the chance of catching something, even from the same guy/girl

---

Answer:
No, you can not assume he is clean as well.
The only way to know is to have him tested.
You may catch an STD the first time you sleep with someone or the 100th time… protected or not.

---

Answer:
if everything comes back good but you’re doubtful that he might have gotten anything before you two were together tell him to get tested. You should have personally asked him before you ever had sex with him to get tested for any STD.

---

Answer:
It's smart to go together to be screened because it's best to know the true results and to prevent future viruses.

---

Answer:
In my opionion I think if you are worried he has an std then you should have made him get tested before you had sex with him. I think he needs to be tested anyway, too.

---

Answer:
He should get screened too, but if you come up all clear than chances are, so is he.

---

Answer:
yeah he should get checked just in-case he has something he has the ability to try to get treatment so that you don't get it

---

Answer:
YES, HE SHOULD BE CHECKED FOR AIDS

---

Answer:
No, let him decide that for himself. You're going to annoy him.

---

Answer:
if you don't have a std then he probably don't either.

---

Answer:
if your clear then hes clear. i never heard of a STD that does not Transmit….(SD). even crabs transmits.
