Q: STD testing requirements ?

I had intercourse with my boyfriend. Dont ask why he didn't use a condom, it was kind of unplanned and he didn't want to.
He says he has used it all his life, with more than 200 women !!!
and not with the girls he loved so there was no way he agreed to wear it .
anyway, he didnt cum inside me, says he is clean but i wanna get tested just to be sure. i had my period so I'm not pregnant but I'm concerned about other diseases. Maybe not Aids , he seems and says he is helathy, but who knows about Hepatite B and other sort of STD's.
If I go to a lab, what kind of analysis do I require ? A blood test ???

Don't put all the blame on the guy-- it's your job to look after yourself! If you're not sure if a guy is clean then condoms are a MUST HAVE for sex. Put your foot down, if he doesn't wear a condom, then you don't have sex. Its simple as that and just saying, "well he didn't want to," isn't an excuse for either of you. If you don't want to get pregnant and you don't want to get an STD, then look after yourself and make sure you are taking proper precautions.

When I was tested, it was a swab that was taken during be pelvic exam, but sometimes they do blood tests.

Ask your boyfriend to get tested as well-- it shouldn't be a big deal. Both my ex and I were tested before we started having sex.

Yeah...make sure he wears a condom. Don't let him guilt you into saying it doesn't feel or good that he never uses it with women he loves. While it's flattering that he said that, don't buy it. Condom...or nothing. Seriously...if a guy who has had sex with 200 women came near me, he would need to put a condom on before we even took our clothes off!!!!

Call the clinic, said you would like to have a comprehensive test on all STD's done. They will give you a pelvic exam, and they SHOULD give you a blood test (because I'm telling you to get tested for EVERYTHING).
