Let’s Talk Sexual Health: Do You Get Regular STI Tests — Why or Why Not?”

[LoletaLeon]

Hey guys 👋
This might be a bit personal, but I think it’s important to talk about it openly — especially in a space like this.
I’ve been trying to be more consistent with my STI screenings, but sometimes I find myself delaying it because of anxiety or just not feeling like it’s urgent. That said, I know regular testing is a huge part of being responsible — for myself and my partners.
So I’m curious:

• How often do you get tested?
  
• Do you follow a routine (every 3 months, every new partner, etc.)?
  
• Have you ever felt judged or nervous about getting tested?
  
• Any tips for making the process less stressful or awkward?
  

Also, if anyone has good experiences with at-home test kits or LGBTQ-friendly clinics, feel free to share. 🧪🌈
