No need to disclose any statuses here, folks.  It's s a free country, though, do what you want.  I do worry that volunteering a clean record may damn others by omission.  You do what you think is best.  But this is primarily about whether you are involved in the testing process, so I do encourage volunteering frequency and other information--I left the time period ambiguous for just this purpose.

And I fucked my poll up terribly.  Can a mod add "sexually active, not mongamous, and no" and "sexually active, monogamous, and yes"?  Pretty please? :hug:

I also should see if Obamacare will cover this.  I don't like the ~$180 cost of the full panel.  That's a lot for what should be a basic public service handed out for free to everyone so that they can, you know, seroselect and avoid spreading their germs.

Monogamous, and last time I was tested was 11 years ago... when the guy I was dating went in for a rash in an unfortunate place. Both of us tested negative for anything.

I suppose that's somewhat silly since I did date another guy after Rash Guy about a year and a half before I married Max. No outbreak of any kind, however, so I think I'm safe. And yes, I trust Max to use a condom if he cheats on me. :)

Like I said, so long as he uses a condom - and I don't know about it - it's kind of a non-issue.

Has S. Korea hired CdM's hand?  If so, that raises interesting questions, such as what they plan to do with the rest of him, and exactly what they are paying his hand to do.

I'm not sure we want those answers.

Oh, no I didn't remember. But now I do recall that you were strangely anti-choice and I wasn't in favor of the product as I though it's rate of false negatives looked high.

Not the point.  You said testing doesn't need to be talked about, and that's a reinforcement of your "I can take home tests all I want, I don't need the Nanny State to do it with me, I can handle the news because I told u I wuz hardcore" motif you and Berkut got all uppity about a few months back, s'all.

Well it certainly needs to be spoken about in terms of encouraging people to get tested - but not in an Ide-like "Isn't it amazing, I got tested everybody" sort of way.

And sure if someone wants some psychosocial support for their test results, I wouldn't stand in the way. But at the same time, I wouldn't force it down anyone's throat either.
