Should I ask my new boyfriend to get an STD test before we have sex or will it freak him out?

Yes. It may suprise him but if he respects you then I don't think he would mind taking it. You should go with him or get tested together so that you can make him feel comfortable.At the end you just want to protect yourself and that is a very smart thing to do.

Not everybody gets tested when they should be tested. Good for you!

If so, then it wouldn't hurt to ask for one, especially if you are unclear or uncomfortable with his history. If he truly loves you and wants to be with you, you trust each other and have good ocmmunication, he should be willing to have the test without freaking out.

You should both be tested. Better to be safe--for both of you. Try not to be accusatory or bring up any past relationships on either side, just mention that it's a good idea for you both to know you're clean.

Kind of like starting fresh. Freaking out or refusing would actually be odd. I'd be suspicious of that.

My husband and I were both tested before we had sex the together the first time. It's only the safe, loving and responsible thing to do. If your boyfriend doesn't agree for you both to be tested, I'd seriously question his reasons why.

Good for you for thinking about the right and responsible and safe thing to do for yourself and your relationship!

I hope you mean to get an STD test...if you asked him to get an STD before you had sex, I would think he would run for the hills! If you mean a test, no I don't think it should freak him out-- its all in the way you phrase it. For example, if you suggest that you both get tested, it would be better than if you just asked him to get tested.

Just remember that some infections, like HIV, do not show up immediately on tests, soeven if you both have clean tests, you should still use condoms.

If your going to do the deed then YES! Unless you want to end up with something like this on you! yourstdhelp.com/herpes.html.

Depends on your future with him, if you are in the state of engagement and planning to eventually settle to marriage then you should already have a pretty good base line of trust and his past. If there's any doubt then you should ask him to get tested.

If it freaks him out, THAT should freak YOU out! An STD test is a perfectly reasonable thing to ask someone to do. Anyone who refuses is either hiding something or not willing to be responsible.

Either way, they are not a good partner. You are being responsible and taking your safety into your own hands by asking for a test. So long as you are willing to get tested as well, he should get the test, show you the results, and be happy that he's with someone who thinks ahead.

I think that being asked to get tested would freak anyone out...but its better to be safe than sorry...If he freaks him out, then so what...you're just trying to protect yourself...there's nothing wrong with that...and if he gets too freaked out to the point he really doesn't want to get one then you should just tell him ok...but you're not going to have sex with him until he does...it may break the relationship up...but would you rather him break up with you...leaving you free of an STD...or feel sorry...giving yourself up to him no matter what and maybe just maybe he has an STD...so you get it yourself...remember "better to be safe than sorry"...plus he could have aids or something...now right there, thats youre life that you'll be giving up just because he didn't want to get tested...and the most important thing of all...if he agrees to get tested...make sure you go with him...now days...people can just print out forms that look like the real thing...so go with him just to be safe...and so that he doesn't feel scared or anything.

Asking can't hurt, besides it is much better to get it and know than to be sorry later.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
