How widespread is the strategy?... of "Let's get tested 2GETHER B4 we have sex, for A VARIETY of STDs."


A Response from Dr. Kooden

Hi, I am not sure if your question is about LGBT seniors or a more general question about gays and sexuality. I cannot say with any authority if this is a widespread stategy though there are men who prefer to do it. Think about and put down your reasons for asking the questionc. I feel I can be of more help to you once I know what exactly you are asking. ome men even carry a letter stating "that they are STD and HIV free" but its authencity is very questionable. And for many men, questions about safer sex practices are behind questions like yours. And to further complicate the issue, are we talking about one-night stands or longterm dating someone? Think about it and let me know. Harold
