Get Tested!: Most large cities have free testing centers. Contact the local department of health for advice on where to get tested. It can be done anonymously and without embarrassment.

Don't be: Deep breath....Find a good pcp or id doc. Hiv, hep c, chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis and hpv are easily tested for. Probably best to find a gay doc..These are sensitive topics in our community.
