Kissing Masturbation HIV

As everyone else has, I have searched the site for similar situations and have found all the information to be quite helpful.  (heterosexual Male) The last intercourse I engaged in was over a year and a half ago, I have always used a condom!  After that last exposure I had 2 sets of a full STD panel. All Negative!  After that last situation I decided to set my boundaries to help relieve my OCD so that I could engage in safe fun sexual activities without fear of any STD's and transmission routes.  Now I only engage in kissing, mutual masturbation, and voyeur masturbation while watching each other.  No oral, no penetration or any kind!  With any of the above activities I still made sure to ask my partner about her STD status.  In all cases(4) the answer was a clean bill of Health.  I am now at the point to be in a monogamous relationship, if the above activities are all that I engaged in, would there ever be any reason for myself to have any testing done before intercourse in my new relationship?  thank you for your help and information on this site!

This situation doesn't.  What was said was, "If you are sexually active you should stest for STDs and HIV annually." Nothing was said about this situation.

Thanks Teak,
curious.  all of the posts I have read say that mutual masturbation shares a zero risk of STDs and is not a route of HIV transmission, what makes this situation warrant testing?

Yes. If you are sexually active you should test for STD's and HIV annually.

condoms break all the time on this forum. I guess what was meant is that you get your partner tested before having sex. Maybe you know how to use a condom properly and it won't ever break on you. TEACH ME SOMETHING

there would never be unprotected sex!  I'm sorry did I miss type something.  even in a monogamous relationship I would still use a condom.

So there is no need for me to be tested?

No, but that doesn't exempt your partner who would need to be tested before having unprotected sex.
