    you’re changing the subject.
    that’s not a screen for all STI’s making you 100% safe.
    for most people it’s usually fine. i’m NOT saying it’s bad to be polyamorous, all i was saying is the risks are risky… it’s not 💯, and the bigger your polycule, the higher the risk someone is lying anyways, cheating, and bring sti’s into the group….
    very real risks, worth considering….
    it’s not making fucking not worth doing… but worth making educated decisions about

    they responded with “it tests for 3 diseases “.

    which is a lot different than screening for all of them.

    you come across as someone that misrepresents and lies about the reality of risks in order to get their partner to agree to something they otherwise wouldn’t….

    also, weak ass popsicle stick insult.

    lol… 4 is not a screen for **all STI’**s… and your dismissal of any other risk is insane.
    if herpes was that simple to stop, then nobody would have herpes… and that’s just one of the many that aren’t tested for.
    once you have symptoms, it’s usually too late.

    oh the gymnastics….

    “screens for everything”.
    “screens for three diseases”.

    caution information and talking about sex is not FUD… don’t try to make everything that disagrees with you “FUD”.
    FUD is a psyop tactic, this is a talk about “completely safe” vs “risky”.

    i’m all about taking that risk… personally… but it’s evil to pretend like it’s all figured out and fine.
    it is not.
    if you… i dunno, drive on the freeway you need to understand common and uncommon risks in order to not crash. I think it’s quite similar to sex.
    i’m not saying don’t drive, im saying wear a seatbelt and be aware of shitty drivers… and potholes… and all that shit.

    mitigate risks, don’t pretend like they’re irrelevant.

    they don’t test for every single disease… it’s not where i live, it’s medical technology….
    show me a screening test that tests for every single SDI or STFU….

    repeating yourself is pointless. gimme proof or i do not care about the words you’re typing on here.

    show me… any country, any price, show me your comprehensive, 100% accurate screening of every possible STI… or even something close to that… i’ll hold my breath.

    i know. i used that exact example previously.
    like i said before:
    i’m not saying risky things aren’t worth doing. i’m saying this is not without risks.
    “getting tested” doesn’t cover most STI’s unless you’re symptomatic… you can’t go to the doctor and say “test me for every STI”… that’s not an option.
    HPV, Herpes, and many others are diseases for life. you can take medicine that makes most people asymptomatic for most of their life… but it’s not just fixed.

    people on here are acting like you can just trust everyone you date, and everyone they date, and everyone those people date, and everyone those people date, out to infinity and it’s totally safe and fine and the only issue is skill in knowing who to trust…
    or you can just make sure everybody “gets tested” but that’s not how getting tested works.

    and many diseases are evolving resistance to current treatments… it’s a lot of risk that is worth considering before making an informed decision
