    Usually the screenings are pretty thorough. I’ve gotten one at least once a year (usually 6 months) for as long as I’ve been an adult.

      “pretty thorough” isn’t saying anything.
      what, exactly, is included in that screening?

      btw, screening is wise and useful and all, it’s just not very thorough.

        From clinic to clinic might be different but even just a basic screening at Planned Parenthood tests for like 8 different things so no, pretty thorough is saying exactly enough and you’re just being stubborn.

        You give the exact “it’s just a little herpes” vibes that you mention elsewhere. Why else would you fight everyone so hard when EVERYONE is telling you it’s very easy to get tested for the whole host of most common STIs on the regular?
