I would say yes.  You might not have to get tested for STD's because you're not sexually active.  But the PAP smear tests for cancerous cells in your cervix, and those can develop any time.  You don't want to risk your future fertility or health - Make, and keep those annual appointments!!

Try your local health department- they usually do std screenings for free.

There used to be a lot of horror stories going around about swabs being inserted into the tip of the penis, because that's the way testing for chlamydia used to be performed. Now, STD clinics can test for chlamydia in urine. Syphilis testing and Hepatitis-C tests are blood tests. HIV testing can be done either by using blood or by OraSure, which is basically pressing a cotton pad in the mouth against the gumline and sending it off to a lab.\n\nI'm not sure if the swab is still being used for gonorrhea testing in men, but chlamydia is much more common in most parts of the U.S. than gonorrhea is.

1st you and your partner need to be monogomous and be tested for STD's then you need to get on some kind of birth control like the pill, shot or ring.  Or if your not ready for those kind use condoms each and every time.

B.C. walk-in clinics are designed for non-emergency medical services, with the priviledge of not having to make an appointment or wait to see your regular family doctor.\n\nAs for STD testing, it's doubtful, as they aren't designed for follow-up with patients.  They might take a blood specimen from you, but they probably would have you go see your regular doctor to pass on the results.\n\nIf you're strictly looking to get tested for an STD, you'd best go to an actual VD clinic.  I'm not sure if there are any here in B.C., but there's probably one somewhere in the general area.  I'd suggest contacting one of the walk-in clinics and they can refer you to one.

Upon entry into the military you are given a complete physical. Are tested for HIV periodically. And medical screening before and after deployment. A soldier can get checked for STDs when ever he or she wants to. It's a matter of going on sick call and asking.\nCan I ask why do you ask?

you can get an std from almost anything. if you actually have inercourse or oral can do that too you can get it from kissing someone with an std because the skin on your lips is thin so one little cut or something and it's in your blood stream. you should always go get tested before you have sex with a partner and always use protection.

Ok, I'm no expert but I do work in the medical feild. First off let me say that most STD's can only be transmited through sexual intercourse. I'm sure there are some exceptions, but most STD's cannot sustain homeostasis out side of the host body. However, some STD's can spread through contact with other bodily fulids such as, blood, salivia, and of course semen, or sperm. Ok but keep in mind that all has to do with the type of STD your talking about. But I think it's safe to assume that if you sit on the toilet your probably not going to get the STD from that person. I don't understand the exact method of contraction but I dont think it's going to happen since your not exchanging bodily fulids with this individual. I always just use one of those seat protectors when they are avalible at work. Because I'm a guy and guy's are dirty; so you can never be to carefull. But if your living with someone with an STD...I'd probably freak out! I don't know, but I'd keep some kind of house hold cleaner/disinfectant handy in the bathroom. Also you might want to talk to this person about it. Some (a very select few) STD's are curable. Most people tend to ingnore it, or be in denyle about the problem, or just not even know it exsist. Some STD's symptoms don't even show up for a long time. It just depends on the STD. But whoever you are talking about could just be too embarrassed to do anything. Suport might just be the best thing, dispite how grose and discusting that person may be...and their little friend down there. And what I mean by support is, SUPPORT TO HAVE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT IT! You know it's grose, but some people don't tell their partner that they have an STD. Oh and genital warts are curable no matter the sex, I don't know about Hepitius C, I think thats the one that you can take something for and it keeps it from transmiting and flaring up, but don't quote me. Ok well now that I'm done grosing you out, I hope I helped in some way. And your right it's not fair these promiscuous people keep spreading this shit around cause their to horny to control themsevles and USE A DAM CONDOM!!

Hmmm... if they actually have sex (physical) with strangers met on the internet, I would say get tested for every sexually transmitted disease and get the heck outta Dodge cowboy!

A doctor utilizing the proper tests can tell you. I can tell you one thing though, "You don't get STDs from sex, you get them from stupid."

Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease, (STD) so you must always be careful.  Best to use protection.  Even if your fiancee says they have not been with anyone else, and then you get chlamydia, either you have had previous encounters or your fiancee has.  Get checked out.

You should get tested for aids, std's, or vd's.

I grew up believing in "no sex before marriage" granted, I know most people these days dont go for that. You should at least wait til you are in a committed relationship with ONE person. I have been in 2 serious relationships. One I was married to, and the other one (who I am with now), I am engaged to. Before I was with either of them physically, I made them go to the doctor and be tested for all STD's. And waited til the tests came back before we did anything. Make sure you see the test results, dont just take their word for it. Then, of course, you still want to be protected, to prevent unwanted pregnancy.
