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?

    No. The military does not regularly test for STDs unless the soldier asks for medical treatment and complains of STD symptoms.

    The entrance test will screen for serious ones like HIV, but that’s only done once, and it doesn’t screen for all STDs.
