FYI: Most colleges (Even my tiny podunk school!) offer free or low cost STD and pregnancy testing that are COVERED UNDER YOUR TUITION! And NO they won't tell your parents.
Planned Parenthood (
www.plannedparenthood.org is a great learning tool!) is discreet, very discreet!
This is my way of looking at it....1) you decide that you're mortified and could NEVER get tested, lest someone find out and you're embarassed. And then you get HPV, clap, HIV/AIDS, chlymidia, ghonorrhea...I could go on. And then you pass it on to other people, and then they don't get tested. Terrible cycle, no?
2) You accept that people *may* find out, may see you going into the clinic. Wouldn't you think that your parents would want you to be responsible with your body rather than trying to save face?
