i (18F) an sexually active with my boyfriend (19M) and have been for a year. recently at school, i had an appointment with my school nurse and we were discussing my sex life, what precautions i were taking to be safe etc,. i told her that we have raw sex and he finishes in me but i’m on the combined pill and take it everyday at the same time. my school nurse suggested that i take a STD test, not to imply that my boyfriend might have cheated on me but that it is better to be safe than to be sorry. i have been with someone else before my boyfriend, but we used condoms. and my boyfriend’s ex girlfriend had a high body count, cheated on him, and got tested regularly.

i don’t know how often or if monogamous people get tested and if it is normal. some people say that getting tested regularly suggests that you have a lot of sexual partners.

should i agree to the test? what if i were to have an STD and the symptoms are undetectable unless a test was done? or then do people get STD tests only when they cheat/suspect their partner is cheating?
