What I find insanely alarming is how just many sexually promiscuous individuals do NOT bother getting tested for STD's on a regular basis.
I mean I get that a lot of these sorts don't exactly fit into the category of people who you'd expect to take any kind of serious precautions in general, but for fucks sake, it's not like there's fewer common medical resources available than there were in the 90's or early 2000's.
It's probably not a problem of availability of medical resources, but the person's resources. Going to test (especially regularly) takes time and probably money.
Admittedly true in a lot of cases, but that's also what I was referring to, especially in countries with semi-free healthcare.
There are a lot of understandable reasons why they wouldn't. Not good enough reasons, but reluctancy that at least isn't wrong.
Its a doctor's office, which means you need them to be open when you are available (quite difficult depending on area). It has a cost, which could be a bit beyond people's "budget."
And the most important is the anxiety. Most people these days can't even make a fucking phone call on their own, you expect them to have the balls to go in and ask for an STD test in a public waiting room in front of a bunch of people? Because if you are going in everyone assumes you did something dirty and are panicking.
Now, if you aren't willing to get over yourself and those humps then a logical person would just not have sex or be safe. But these are degenerates who treat constant sex as an addiction that shouldn't be controlled.
Aye, those are some fair points/examples. And I guess it's something that typically doesn't flow with most kinds of regular doctor's checkups either.
And admittedly, most of the individuals I've rarely come across who were fairly open and straight forward about how they got regularly tested, were usually women.
I imagine it's far less cumbersome for women to get things checked out every so often, particularly if they see a gynecologist regularly.
