Note that doesn't include HSV (especially 2) which can be transmitted asymptomatically, and even with a condom. The medical establishment doesn't consider it a concern, but it's worth having both parties check.
- Teknoman117 2mo agoThe problem with screening for HSV is that the HSV IgG tests are pretty terrible (the blood antibody tests). They have a false positive rate around 20% and re-running the tests several times won't yield different results. This would result in more people thinking they have HSV but don't than people who actually have it.
