Have you caught HSV? Are you paranoid about the increased risks of catching diseases with more partners?

not that i know of (not that this is shameful; hsv is very common and I would still date someone who has hsv)
Sexually active poly ppl tend to get tested a lot, probably a lot more than monogamous people who cheat! Often there's poly 'rules' about introducing risk to the group.
Do you get tested for hsv? I've found it quite hard to convince healthcare providers to schedule hsv tests. (Lots of "it's not that bad, just don't worry about it.")
