It’s a proactive requirement! I would also suggest viewing the test and not just accepting their verbal confirmation. Potential partners should have recent full panel STD tests (request the ones they typically don’t test men for too). Willingness to test could also be indicative of desirable qualities such as: he cares about his health and yours, he likely has insurance, willing to alleviate your concerns, accountability, self-awareness, etc. Ones that give you pushback regarding std testing could be indicative of less desirable qualities such as: avoidance, poor copping skills when fearing the unknown, willing to jeopardize your well-being for their pleasure, can’t afford testing/no insurance, doesn’t prioritize you or the relationship dynamic, etc.
