I wonder what people think about arranging for an STI test pre-meet as an extra layer of assurance. I know nothing is bulletproof, and timings are involved, but is this something people do or ignore?

Depends - Previously if entering into an exclusive FWB situation - Yes.

The rest of the time I’ve just bagged it up, crossed my fingers & got tested afterwards 🤭

But (like you said)nothings bulletproof. Theirs still things you can get, even if you are protected.

I would have no problem with getting a test done if someone asked.

I get tested after every meet even though condoms are used but not for everything sexual. Can't be too careful/trusting these days as I bet not many will give a shit about your sexual health...most will say they play safe but you can take that with a pinch of salt x

I agree. We can catch things even with condoms, but I am surprised how many would ignore if your bring the test issue up....

Also, only 3 months after a meet, you would have a clear picture of any infections, so even testing isn't perfect unless the other person has had no sex for 3 months... and isn't lying about it haha

A couple of days after you send in the test here in Reading.

I honestly can't believe you would arrange STI tests as part of a meet build up. Nothing could be less sexy than asking someone to take a test in advance. Condom, absolutely, but asking someone to take a test specifically for me is a step to far and would quite frankly put me off if it was required of me. Regular testing = great, specific meet test = weird.

I test a couple of weeks after meeting, even though I use condoms for penetration.

Don't forget though most tests only cover 4 specific things

Never understood the point of this, they could show you a test performed last week but how do you know they haven't played in the meantime

Ultimately all boils down to trust - you have to trust they are clean, tested regularly, and haven't done anything silly in the meantime

I get tested regularly anyway and always happy to share my results with people if they want. It doesn't really bother me if someone asks.

We test for our own piece of mind.

It's worth noting that some STIs won't show up in testing right away, so if they were really bothered, they would have to abstain for a couple weeks before testing and after too if they really want a guarantee.

It's great and I wish more people would have open and honest discussions about sexual health. About things like HPV.

But at the same time... I test for me and take care of my sexual health. Decide whether or not to do certain things.

Depending on who's asking I'm fine with doing a test pre meet, I regularly get tested either way anyways

It doesn't sound like the best social but if I like her enough I'd do it.

Whilst the type of test, such as for HIV determines the lag, between infection and when it will become test positive, you're potentially going to be lulled into a false sense of security, if any test results are clear.

Unless someone is isolated for many weeks and you ran multiple tests - as it's feasible to get a false positive result, you'll not be able to get the security you'd expect OP.

Remember, not all STIs are tested for. Someone who says they've caught nothing, cannot be 100% certain.

This is vital for sexual health and trying to ensure adult responsibility is taken with partners

The service is free everyone playing should test … it’s so important

Thanks OP for bringing this into the open !
