Hello,

Should a guy be retested for diseases if he was last tested in Jan or Feb, and has been with about 2 or 3 women since then? Every encounter was protected witha condom.

Also, I heard it's a very painful process for a guy to be tested for STDs/Disease?

I have no idea if it's a painful process for a guy to be tested.

Yes. This guy and I have been going out for about a month, and have discussed sex. he said he was last tested at the beginning of the year, no problems. I don't know how I would ask him to be retested again since he's been with 2 or 3 women since then. He may think it's being uptight since He's had alot more experience than me, and probably doesnt see it as a big deal, especially since he uses condoms all the time.

Well, The last person he was with was about 3 months ago. I believe him when he said it was all protected. We haven't gotten that much in depth talking yet.
