Dear Suz, I’m having a ball dating after 20 years of celibacy. Sex with different men is something I never imagined would happen again. One man asked me if I’d tested recently for STDs. It never crossed my mind. Is it necessary?
Dearie, Yes indeed, testing is necessary as a responsibility to your partners and routine self-care. Women often don’t show symptoms and can infect others without knowing. Overcome any embarrassment and test routinely for chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, syphilis, and others. Test at your doctor’s office, local clinics, walk-in labs, or home test kits. Be safe, so that no one is sorry. -SQ
