listen, next time you're at the doc, just say, "i'd like to be tested for HIV/STDs. let me know what i need to do." that easy.

saliva for hiv test. u have to have it repeated in 6 months. to rule out a false -. its takes a few months for the antibodies to show up. u do have to ask for std tests they r not part of a routine blood test. some stds are tested with what is called the elisa. im not sure but i think herpes is a more involved test that u have to ask for separately.
