Here’s Everything You Need To Know About Getting Tested 

via buzzfeed

be aware that the fact that most people don’t have symptoms doesn’t just mean you won’t be aware you have it, it also means your partners may have an STI and not be aware they have it. the person who gave me herpes had NO idea of his status.

get yourself tested! be aware of your own status. take care of your own health and help keep transmission of STIs down!

And you have to actually ask to get tested for herpes. It is not part of the regular sti screenings

::points:: THAT. THAT THAT THAT. the “standard panel” is HPV, HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia. if you’re not sure what they’re testing for, ask!

I basically had to fight with my old gyno to get tested for HIV and herpes.  

This is super important.
