A member asked:

How often do you have to get tested for an std if your partner refuses treatment?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

What???: Why in heavens would you continue an intimate relationship with someone who has a sexually transmitted disease and refuses treatment? Find another friend and always use protection. Continuing to expose yourself and testing to find out if you too now have the disease is a form of self-abuse.
