This is why i refuse to have sex with ANYONE without us BOTH getting tested
So I (M19) hooked up with a guy who was 10 years older than me. Big mistake he gave me herpes and ghosted when I confronted him. Few months later I discover he has a nsfw twitter. So I get to watch the person who ruined my dating life fuck other people 😀

Sooo herpes isn’t usually included on std panels…they don’t include it cause it’s very difficult to get accurate results from a test unless you have active symptoms (something to do with the antibodies). Also doctors don’t feel as much urgency when it comes to herpes cause for most people it’s benign/never present

It’s not included on std panels AND the blood test is extremely inaccurate. If you want a certain diagnosis you have to get an open sore swabbed.

Well I am one of the lucky individuals who has gotten regular testing and I do not have herpes. I am not interested in risking that.
