thats what the technical term for them is. It is what I was taught in hawaii in my psychology of sex class.

Yes, a couple times.

The first time I actually had an STD...turned out it was chlamydia (cleared up by a couple weeks worth of antibiotics). The testing was...ahem, most unpleasant. I don't recommend it to anyone. I also had an AIDs test prior to getting married...it was part of the blood test thing they apparently don't do anymore.

Nope.

Which is suprising since I grew up in the 60's / 70's and was a SLUT! ;)

EDIT: I thought that said treated!
Treated, no. Tested HELL YES!
