| Testing advice
Guys, me and my gf wanted to get tested for all types of STD's and I was wondering what should I exactly ask for
1) Should I go to my primary care physician or a special STD clinic? My physician has offered to do STD testing before so I know they are capable of it
2) Also, how do I ask for it? Should I simply state I'm doing it as a precautionary measure?
3) How often one must usually test for these as a precautionary measure if you're sexually active (even if it's one partner) ? Or should it only be done when symptoms show?
4) I've gathered a list. To test these, would blood need to be required 7-8 times or simply 1-2 times?
HIV
Hepatitis B
SYPHILIS
Chlamydia
Gonorrhea
Herpes
5) How long does it typically take to get results back?
Thx
