I frequently get men pressuring me to forgo condoms. One of the excuses is “I’m in the military and they test us.”

Is that true? How regular is the testing?

    As a sample size of one: I spent 21 years in the military and don’t recall ever being tested for any STD besides HIV. HIV is a yearly test for everyone. Maybe others had different experiences.

    I agree with others though in that if you want to use a condom, they should respect that.

      Surprised they don’t do the consonant Hepatitises too. Maybe they do now if you’ve been out for a bit.
