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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

i’ll hold my breath

Please do. The gene pool could use some bleach.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

you’re changing the subject.
that’s not a screen for all STI’s making you 100% safe.
for most people it’s usually fine. i’m NOT saying it’s bad to be polyamorous, all i was saying is the risks are risky… it’s not 💯, and the bigger your polycule, the higher the risk someone is lying anyways, cheating, and bring sti’s into the group….
very real risks, worth considering….
it’s not making fucking not worth doing… but worth making educated decisions about

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

It works this way in the rural american southeast. Grew up in Alabama. Literally just find a college town.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

LOL. I know that's how it works because I've done it several times.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

lol, and how many STI’s does that screen test for? HIV and Hepatitis only?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Usually the screenings are pretty thorough. I've gotten one at least once a year (usually 6 months) for as long as I've been an adult.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

“pretty thorough” isn’t saying anything.
what, exactly, is included in that screening?

btw, screening is wise and useful and all, it’s just not very thorough.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

From clinic to clinic might be different but even just a basic screening at Planned Parenthood tests for like 8 different things so no, pretty thorough is saying exactly enough and you're just being stubborn.

You give the exact "it's just a little herpes" vibes that you mention elsewhere. Why else would you fight everyone so hard when EVERYONE is telling you it's very easy to get tested for the whole host of most common STIs on the regular?
