SEX HEALTH GURU
Every sexually active man, gay or straight, should get tested for STDs. The US Centers for Disease Control or the CDC takes a more lenient approach which we share with you in this video. We urge you however to play it safe and get tested regularly.

If you are a sexually active male and you are not having any symptoms of an STD, you may not need to be tested. But if your sex practices include having sex with other men even once or twice, you do need annual screening including testing for Syphilis, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea and HIV, the virus that causes aids.
Of course, it is also vital that you see your doctor if you are displaying signs of an STD. Doctors recommend getting tested if you have any unusual discharge from the penis. In addition, all warts, growths and blisters call for a check up.
Finally the CDC recommends one HIV test, at some point, for all people between the ages of 13 and 64. The only way to be 100% protected from STD is by never having sex. Since that is probably not your choice, be smart about knocking boots.
