How does everyone avoid getting STDs? Do you just trust people to get tested beforehand?

Condom use doesn't fully protect against many things, but better than nothing.

Yes, I did. The other comment addressed it partially. I also don't know what the spread of tests required is. Like say HSVs, which is less commonly tested now. +Testing doesn't always pick up early infections. Some stuff also hangs out in places condom doesn't cover.

yeah we had a default testing expectation, and then had ppl write down their own status and risk acceptance for the things not tested for so ppl could choose their personal level

how did you handle hpv risk, given the lack of tests? and was everyone hsv antibody negative, or a mix?

required everyone to be vaccinated against hpv and also wear condom (condoms are pretty efficient for hpv prevention), and did not require hsv testing because there's not good tests, but let ppl determine their individual risk there. if u have never had outbreak it's v low risk
thanks! bivalent vaccine against 16/18 enough? or did people need vaccines against more strains? i unfortunately have two not covered by the 16/18 vaccine :(
My understanding is that the test that's generally considered good for differentiation on hsv 2 v 1 is generally outsourced or similar to WashU's.
