How often does everyone get tested for STIs?

It depends on how you look at it. Since another person is involved, even if you get tested regularly, you could still catch an STI if your partner doesn’t get tested regularly. I already know of clinics that provide results quickly and prescribe medication right away, including ones open on weekends and late into the evening. If I notice anything unusual, I go immediately. It’s not covered by insurance, but I believe speed is important when it comes to treating STIs. I don’t get tested regularly because it seems unnecessary. They can be detected during my annual health checkup, though... Personally, I take these precautions: - I don’t visit sex workers. - I pee right after an adult relationship (intimate). - I shower thoroughly with soap as soon as possible afterward. - I gargle with mouthwash afterward. I do all that discreetly, so I don’t ruin the mood.

In my case, I generally get tested once a month these days. I also get tested when I start seeing someone new or around the time of a threesome, so there have been times when I’ve ended up getting tested every week. I chose once a month because I’d heard that women working at escort agencies get tested at that frequency. I’ve also often heard that people get tested at the same time they’re prescribed birth control pills. It’s not a gynecology clinic, but apparently there are affiliated clinics available: https://universe-club.jp/partners-check/std-check/ Personally, I think it’s better to have samples collected and tested at a clinic, since it can be difficult to collect them properly with kits that require women to collect their own samples.
