ON the wings on another thread this one interests me, if you practice safe sex and use protection, been with a girl, or boy, for a few weeks...would you ask them to take the test?

If for example you were at the stage whereby you no longer needed or wanted to use condoms, is it reasonable to ask someone to take an AIDS test?

Seems to me that no matter how well you know someone you can never be 100% sure of their sexual history, or the sexual history of the partners they have had.

It would be interesting to hear how people would react when you ask them to take the test.

without question...

my life is worth waaay more than anything someone could offer me in bed...and in these days ...you cant trust anyone

No. But if the subject came up I'd probably sugest that we both get tested.

i would ask a boyfriend to take one,,, but i've always had a question about AIDS test, since the test is supposed to be strictly confidential, how would you know if the person had it besides trusting their word???

hmmm, I don't think after a few WEEKS I'd feel I knew someone well enough to trust them to have sex without a condom.

At that point, even if you did both go get an HIV test, you could potentially be in the "window period" from previous relations.

I say, be safe for 6 months, if things are going well and you trust the relationship, then get tested and consider having sex without condoms...

i get them to do a math test

Yes, I would. That way we have some sort of an idea about our future.

Yes.
