Should I make a cheating boyfriend get tested for STD's like AIDS and Hepatitis and stuff?

Found out my BF cheated. Working through it, but afriad to have sex with him. Should I make him get tested and how often. Doesn't AIDS sometimes not show up for a long time?

If you can't trust a partner not to give you an STD, you may not want to have sex with that person. You can ask them to be tested for gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV, syphilis and hepatitis, but negative tests for these may mean the infection is just in too early of a stage to detect. Also, there are no good screening tests for herpes, and HPV testing is limited 鈥?men can't be tested unless they have visible warts, and HPV testing generally isn't recommended for women younger than 30.

If you decide to have sex, use condoms. Condoms help protect you against life-threatening infections like HIV. However, condoms don't fully protect you against every STD. For example, condoms may not cover all of the skin that might contain an HPV or herpes virus, so the condoms may reduce, but not eliminate, the chance of such a virus being transmitted to you. In fact, you can be exposed to these viruses through genital to genital or mouth to genital contact, not just through intercourse.

If you have sex, you put yourself at some risk even with the most thorough testing and condom use, and you have to accept that risk.

stds,hiv/aids,hep,sypilis should be a precaution, he should get tested for all stds in 2 or 3 weeks cause it does show up in that amount of time if it got contracted to him. An for hiv/aids you need to get him tested 3 months and find out what the result is, but in rare cases it usually takes to 6-9 months for anti-bodies of HIV infection to show in the blood. An if I was you I would't even bother with him after he cheated but its your choice not ours. Good luck on making him get tested and keep your self safe .!

You can speak to a doc. They will tell you the exact time frame. Even if a person is infected, its not necessary that the virus is active inside him. In any case you'll have to take precautions and suggestion from a good doctor.

I think you have every right to request he be tested.

He should be tested now and again in 6 months.

Do know as well that herpes can take some time to show if he contracted it and that condoms cannot fully protect you from herpes.

yes get him tested. it is necessary to do as much as his doctor recommends. it also is important for your relationship to be able to trust him.

Yes, testing is a good idea. It can take up to 3 months, or in rare cases, up to 6 months, for HIV to show up on tests.

can take 3 - 6 months for HIV and Hep C to show up...so dont have unprotected intercourse with him until hes been fully tested

Make him have the tests done and do it quite often because once a cheater always a cheater.

If you're going to keep him around then YES have him tested and always use a condom.

yes yes yes yes. You should ask him to get tested. He should undestand why and follow your request. I really hope you work through things :-D Good Luck to ya both xx

Have him tested for sure. After all he made a huge mistake.
use a condom until you aer sure he is clean
