I haven't been tested several times, but I did when a partner cheated on me with a friend of mine that was rather promiscuous.

In my job it is required for HIV any time there is broken skin or needle sticks.

Once a year I get an inside out exam, full body work out to renew my visa to stay for another year. The exam is ten times worse than a physical in Canada, only here, they don't do the breast exam but do everything else which I find odd.

I had a HUGE scare in China a while back with being found HIV positive if you're interested in how China dealt with people a while ago and part of the reason I am so freaked out about hospitals here.

Yo are all right in protecting your own safety, only you are responsible for your safety!

As I'm not active sexually, I can't imagine how I would have a STD...

Yes, I get tested. Just an FYI to a few prior commenters, the standard STD panel generale doesn't test for herpes. Herpes is detectable by a blood test or by testing lesions on the skin.

I've been tested for general STD's and stuff when I went to the Gyno at 19... haven't been since was about a year ago. Never been specifically tested for HIV/AIDS but I don't really have a reason to think I'd need to be; only been active with 3 people and none of them were positive... even though it's kind of useless to do so anyway considering the disease can be dormant for up to 13 years before it's detectable... or that's how it was last time I did any research on it. (Highschool health class)

I was tested fr everything but HIV during my pregnancy and then just the standard screenings every year

I was tested when I got pregnant. I was negative both times for everything. I don't see a need to be tested again for anything because we are monogamous.

I want to get tested this year.
Still, not a risk for anybody at the moment even if I am positive.

There no option for "no, there's no need for me to"
I was never promiscuous (and neither was my partner), and I've been a regular blood donor for a while now so I know that I don't have anything.

I try to get tested annually but sometimes I do test more than once or twice a year. I'm very proactive.
