Since I get it on average once every six months that means "NO".

But that doesn't mean that you didn't get STDs during one of those interactions.

If you have had unprotected sex with someone other then a Virgin, then there is a pretty good chance, somewhere in the 75% area of having HPV.


EDIT:

Today HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the U.S. ? yet 70 percent of Americans have never heard of it (Jay, 2000; KFF, 2000). Up to 20 million Americans are currently infected with sexually transmitted HPV, and it is estimated that 75 percent of reproductive age women and men have been infected with genital HPV at some point in their lives (Cates, 1999). The highest rates of genital HPV infection are found in adults between the ages of 18 and 28 (Koutsky, 1997). HPV is also prevalent among people with immunosuppressive disorders, such as HIV (Koutsky & Kiviat, 1999). HPV is believed to be widespread across racial groups and to have very little variation in prevalence across regions in the U.S. (CDC, 2000). HPV is so common, in fact, that it is considered a virtual marker for having had sex (Boonstra, 2004).

I got a test 6 months after the first time I had sex without a condom and was clean and that was a good number of years ago, since then I've been tested two other times (just told the doc to add that to the blood work I had to get done anyways) and have been clean ever since then, only thing I had was high cholesterol. :p

This poll only proves something we already knew: Most ATOT'ers have never had sex.

fyi for those that have been "tested" there are only 2 they can "test" for from your blood. that is AIDS and Syphilis (what my doc told me). most STDs you will never no you have if you have them unless your body reacts to the infection.

They also use urine and other fluid testing to check for STDs.

to be honest i've never looked into getting tested, you just go into a doctors office and say "give me an STD test"?
