I would have absolutely no problem with taking an HIV test. I would actually be proud of my guy for taking a proactive stance because most men don't worry about it.
I have not had an HIV test in two years because I have not had any sexual partners since then. Boyfriend and I have been together for almost three years but we are not sexually active. He knows that before we take that step, we are both going to get fully checked out. Not just for HIV, we will also be screened for HPV, Herpes, and everything else. HPV and Herpes can be spread even while using condoms because there are some areas that condoms do not cover. The numbers for Herpes are rising dramatically because it doesn't really get that much attention, as STDs go. I think the numbers are somewhere around 1 in 5 or 1 in 4. That's scary to me because there is no cure.
