[instiz] IS IT UNCOMMON TO ASK SOMEONE TO DO AN STI TEST AFTER YOU START DATING?

People always say “the internet is its own world, so don’t depend yourself on opinions there too much” but I’m really asking out of curiosityㅜ.. I’m kinda worried over stuff like that, do people really trust their significant other that much that they don’t ask those stuff?

1. But I have herpes and it doesn’t show up even when tested because there are no symptoms. The virus comes out only when the level is above a threshold. There are also cases where I had it in the past and didn’t know about it and then have symptoms later, so what should I do? If it doesn’t come out the first time you do it but it appears the second time, won’t there be a misunderstanding that you’re two timing? For reference, I’ve dated 4 people since then and haven’t transmitted this to anyone, so I wonder if the test is even meaningful

2. My friend got an STI because of her boyfriend and had such a hard time with it, she realized how important testing is after that… She was really having a hard time

3. I told my ex-boyfriend to get tested and he broke up with me. Right now, I’m dating a foreigner and I’m on pill so we don’t really need to use a c*nd*m so he got tested in case

4. I did ask my boyfriend to get tested before even starting to date him 

5. I’ve never seen anyone around me do it but I do wish that the culture around this changes.. It’s good for each other to get tested, so I don’t understand why people hate the idea of it ㅋㅋㅋ

6. To me, this is something I must ask and I have a close unnie who also encourages me to do stuff like that, but I really have never seen anyone do it aside from us 2 ㅋㅋㅋ

7. If you actually did that in real life, I bet they’ll be furious 

8. If this isn’t your first time doing it, I think it’s fair to ask, me too I feel like I’ll need to ask that to the next person I date

9. Seriously this is really only on the internet.. I’ve never seen anyone do this in real life ㅋㅋ

10. I did, it was my first time and it wasn’t my boyfriend’s first time so I asked him to do it and share his results with me
