We recently conducted a survey and found that 1 in 3 people will still have sex with someone who refuses to get an STD test…even after being asked to get tested…even though they know “they shouldn’t.”  Think about that.  1 in 3 people knowingly put themselves and others at risk for becoming infected with HIV or other sexually transmitted diseases.  As it turns out, only 5% of those surveyed have been asked by their partners to get STD tested, so there’s not much dialogue happening in or out of bed about sexual health.  And no wonder.  It’s not an easy subject to bring up in conversation, especially at the beginning of an intimate relationship.

The health math is easy.  Lots of sex minus sexual health conversation = more infections.  We think about this equation a lot and work hard to help more people feel comfortable with taking control of their sexual health.  Learn how private online STD testing works. And then share it with a friend.  Sex is fun, but it’s also an extreme sport.  Protect yourself and your partners and get tested today.  You’ll be glad you did.
