While I do agree everyone is responsible for their own sexual health, allow me to give a glimpse what it’s like to truly stand on fucking business when it comes to demanding STD tests from potential partners. 1. I have been called a whore so many times by men I cant even count.

Mind you, I have been celibate for 7 years (8 in March). I never set a time limit on it. I just knew I didnt want to have sex again unless I was in a relationship I am an epidemiologist and I specialize in infectious diseases & WROTE MY THESIS on HIV, I understand sexual health

Thus, even the SUGGESTION of getting tested with a man I’m interested in leads to: See #1 as they assume something is wrong with me 2. A diatribe about how nothing can be wrong with them b/c they only have sex with “good women.”

3. Men agreeing to get tested and then ghosting me. One even later said it was because “this is too much work for a little bit of pussy.” 4. Men threatening me as if I am accusing them of something or assassinating their character or who they perceive themselves to be.

And that’s just for the STANDARD TEST. Keep in mind, the standard STD panel does NOT include a genital herpes test. Many people who have it pass it on and never know they themselves have it. It is an often asymptomatic disease.

Boundaries are things you place upon yourself. Not upon other people. I am vehement and diligently protective of my body. I only get one. Yet, I have only met a handful of women like me in my life who are willing to be celibate as long as I have been.

I also say this from the lens of experience. The second sexual partner I ever had gave me Chlamydia. I was so inexperienced I didnt know what was happening to my own body. And he did not care at all he had given it to me. I never forgot that & vowed it would never happen again

I was so emotionally devastated by that event that I remember getting a false positive at my PCP during my annual well woman exam (I still let them screen me for STDs) and started sobbing crying from the PTSD of it all. These are devastating experiences for women

So before you go around judging, ask yourself: 1. When was the last time YOU were tested? 2. When was the last time your PARTNER(S) got tested? 3. Did they receive a full panel? 4. Did you SEE their results? 5. How long would you be willing to NOT have sex to protect yourself?
