Thanks, Grace! Appreciate your input.
well no wonder you had to post here after the very confusing and erroneous reply you had in the other forum!
can you get std's even while using a condom for sex? yes you can but the risk of them is lowered significantly. hpv, herpes and syphilis are the biggest risks from condom protected sex but even the risk of them is very low. in general, we don't recommend testing from condom protected sex unless you have another partner you are protecting or if you should develop symptoms of a std.
