Saw something earlier that made me think about sexual health.
I last had a full check including blood test when I was pregnant 8 years ago! Since then I've mostly been careful but did have one 4 month fling with someone and didn't use protection. After that ended I did a home test for the 'common' STIs like chlamydia and gonorrhoea which came back clear.
I've been with my current dp two years and during this time I have taken another one of the diy tests for the same things (as I had one weird symptom and was worried it had come from dp). It also came back clear.
I read in an article this morning that it's good practice to get a full screen every year! Even if you're in a monogamous relationship. Does anyone really do this? I mean if it were offered to me in pregnancy or when I was having a smear or something like that I would take it but it's not something I'd actively seek out unless I thought I'd exposed myself to something?
