Also remember that many people trust their significant other's word for it when he or she says they're clean. No asking to see test results and no challenging of what things your mate was tested for. For instance, herpes tests weren't included in the STD testing for many testing sites. You had to specifically request it, separately, but people didn't know this and thought they were being tested for the works. Plus many people don't get tested for HIV.

true... and plus the cost for getting a herpes test, at least here in VA is over $200... the STD clinic I work offers a sliding fee for STD testing and HIV testing is free, so the most you'll pay for chlamydia, syphillis, gonorrhea, hep A, B, and C is $25... even at the clinic they don't push for herpes testing. Since most people have come on contact with some sort of the herpes virus (cold sore, or chicken pox), majority of the general population aren't aware of how vital it is to test for herpes, at least genital herpes (herpes simplex II)
