ORIGINAL: CelticPrince yes i understand that for those that use sleeves it is not a issue, however for those that go "natual" it is an inportant issue as someone can be a carrier and not even be aware of it. Any commnets? I don't do anything that transmit disease (don't believe that if you wish, I decided a long time ago not to try to convince people), so I'd be offended if someone asked...it would mean they didn't believe I am who I am. As far as most others though, do people still get insulted over that question? Condoms aren't 100% and like you said, it's possible to have something and not realize it. I didn't realize asking someone for proof was an issue anymore. Im sorry, this makes no sense... In fact its rather retarded... So you are saying that you dont have sex than? I mean if you dont ever have sex than what you are saying makes perfect sense. If you are a virgin than awesome... Otherwise every time you have sex with a new partner you put yourself at risk unless you BOTH have been tested. Did you know that its something like 85% of the population will have HPV by the age of 40? Even if you have no signs or symptoms? Making sure that you have been tested, and asking a possible partner if when the last time was that they were tested is not offensive. Its called self preservation. You should be proud that your possible partner cares so much about it. It shows responsibility. Nationwide, at least 45 million people ages 12 and older, or one out of five adolescents and adults, have had genital HSV infection. Genital HSV-2 infection is more common in women (approximately one out of four women) than in men (almost one out of eight). This may be due to male-to-female transmission being more likely than female-to-male transmission. HSV-1 and HSV-2 can be found in and released from the sores that the viruses cause, but they also are released between outbreaks from skin that does not appear to have a sore. Generally, a person can only get HSV-2 infection during sexual contact with someone who has a genital HSV-2 infection. Transmission can occur from an infected partner who does not have a visible sore and may not know that he or she is infected. Most people infected with HSV-2 are not aware of their infection. It is possible that a person becomes aware of the “first episode” years after the infection is acquired. Those statistics are just for herpes alone. HPV can also be transmited with no symptoms, crabs is another one that is transmited just by contact. CONDOMS DO NOT PREVENT THEM! Get your facts straight dude. If you have sex, you put yourself at risk. If a partner asks you when you were last tested, and you get offended, dont be offended when he runs to the door screaming!
