A member asked:

I tell boyfriends no sex before you can get your blood tested for aids/hiv?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Good idea/others too: That is a good idea. You cannot know people's past history for sure, but you can rule out to the best ability whether or not they have been infected with something like hiv, also other diseases, like syphilis and gonorrhea. Safe practice, like condoms also helps.

Dr Villaplana and another doctor agreed
