What is responsible sex???
Responsible sex is when you make a call to everyone with whom you've had sex and you let them know that something came back in your test results, that they should be tested, and treated as necessary. It doesn't necessarily mean that they have it, nor does it mean you are placing blame on anyone. Frankly, I don't care about the source only to the degree that it helps me identify who is at risk and who isn't based on chronological occurrence. It's not anyone's "fault" per-se as to where it came from, to me the source only means "these guys I have had sex before this person are no longer believed to be at risk."Responsible sex is when you go get tested on a regular basis and talk with your doctor or physician about any concerns you might have. Be honest and open with your doctor in order to receive the most benefit that will help you directly. There is HIPPA, so rest-assured your information will be kept confidential.
Responsible sex is having a conversation with your sex partners and ensuring they have the knowledge to take care of their business.
I honestly don't understand why some people find it necessary to block me or never call me again after I've made such a call to them. If someone were to make that call to me, then that tells me that person is a "responsible fuck" and would go on my regular fucklist. That means I have a little credit in the bank that tells me this person will make a call if something comes up.
I still do my due diligence to ensure that everything is OK from my side, and if I come back negative, then I'm all groovy - if I come back with the same, then that helps us plot the picture of the disease and find out where it is and where it may be heading, and stop it in its tracks. Then, I in turn make my calls to those who may be impacted, and we can stop it before it becomes a epidemic.
I don't understand why people are so afraid of their test results. It doesn't benefit you or anyone around you to delay the results. If someone calls you, it's your responsibility to go get tested and get treatment as needed (regardless of the call, it's your responsibility to get tested on a regular basis anyways). The longer you wait, the worse it will get, not only for you, but your loved ones and anyone with whom you've made contact. This isn't something you can just sweep under the carpet and hope it goes away, or hope you can just "get over it". The longer you wait, the more these people are going to keep fucking. The more the disease will continue to spread, and the more fault you are at not doing your due diligence to take care of the issue and nip it in the bud before it blooms. I could go on and on as to why getting tested is absolutely critical, but let me just be succinct: TESTING IS CRITICAL!!!
If you are sexually active, then you need to be tested on a regular basis. If you are not getting tested at least every 6 months, then GO GET TESTED RIGHT NOW! Ask for a full panel STD and HIV test. You can goto any urgent care, your PCP, or the local HIV clinic in your town or city.
There is a period in which you can prevent the disease before it spreads by using an early detect. If you detect the disease early enough, you can get treated and stop it before it even has a chance to spread to any of your sexual partners. This does not discount you from making your calls - you still need to do your due diligence. However, the chances of transmission will be lower due to the early detect.
Additionally, it's not enough that you go get tested just to get tested. Some diseases won't come up in a blood or urine test, so it's important to get the right type of tests as well. In some cases, it's better to just get treatment to ensure your security.
