Make sure YOU get tested too, even if H is. It's just 5 minutes, and really easy. Go together if you want....like I said, it could be a nice way to clean the slate and let him know that you're not doing it to humiliate him. Make it a point to show each other the test results too.
I went today to get tested....the preliminary tests were negative, but I still am waiting for results. I think I'm fine (I got tested back in Feb, supposedly AFTER H had his one night stand, but with MLC it's all lies, lies, lies).
I did it just to close that chapter for myself....to take power over my body and be knowledgable. It was a great thing. I too told the nurse and doc, and they (both women) were great...I found myself very matter-of-fact about the whole thing, and turns out the nurse was in a similar situation.
So, when are YOU getting tested?
Just so you know....the full panel is (sorry if I'm being too detailed here, but this matters to me):
* Syphilis, hepatitis (both blood tests) * trichimonas, chlamydia (swab test. Usually they do the trich right there. * Herpes can't be tested easily and usually they say they can only when you have an outbreak....and to come in then, and that you can tell when you have one. So, just cross your fingers on that.
So, there ya go! A little "Our Bodies, Our Selves" thread you got going here!!!!
