like someone else said, you probably should've gotten that done a long time ago. i definetely wouldnt have been with fh this long if he didnt haha. its scary.

I'm going to agree with this... I can't say I blame him for flipping out a bit... because if you didn't insist on it before, then it's like saying 'I don't trust you enough to have remained faithful to me and not have contracted something between then and now'

the only way I can see it would be if you've never had sex and waited for marriage, but he had some kind of sexual experience before being with you, so now that it's 'time' you want to just be sure.

otherwise... if I wanted him to do it, I would have asked him to do so 7 years ago...

Re: Blood Tests

I just feel like these types of blood tests should be part of your yearly routine. Just like you go to the doctor every year for a check up, the dentist, the gyno....it should just be one of those things you take care of every year. I mean...why not. Its good to know your status.

Re: Blood Tests

I can relate. I actually want FH to take a blood test before the wedding too and I would go with him (even tho I have been tested before, he hasnt) I agree with the above posters when they say that it should of been done years ago HOWEVER for something like that, its NEVER TOO LATE!! Always better safe than sorry, I always say. He really shouldnt have acted that way tho...if he really does love you he would just go ahead and do it. My FH would def. never react that way...even if I were to ask him to do it now (which I plan to). FH and I ALWAYS use condoms so we never felt the need to get it done before..but now since we are getting married and planning for me to just be on BC...its def. mandatory.

Re: Blood Tests

I don't take my health for granted so before I started taking birth control pills, I asked FH to take a blood test for all STD and HIV test and I did the same.

Re: Blood Tests

Just so you know, when you get pregnant, they do an entire STD panel on you, so if you want to know before you get pregant, do it now.. otherwise you will find out later.

Re: Blood Tests

I and FH had made a promise when we were younger and stuck to and by it. I think you all know what I am talking about. But if we need to get blood tests we will then have to.

Re: Blood Tests

I voted no because FH and I both got tested a while back. It was something we did together when we were starting to become very serious. I wouldn't ask him now though. If he has anything, I have it by now and vice-versa.

Re: Blood Tests

I put other...tho I am closer to the no then the yes.

While I dont think you were wrong to ask him to be tested-its your body and you want to make sure its healthy as well as his-I do think asking him now is the strange part to most. If you have been together for so long I would hope that you both have had your regular testings done and would know about anything that either of you had.

BUT, like stated, we ahve gone for our regular testing and its not an issue. We have been together sexually for so long that we would know if there was anything to question.

I dont think you were wrong to ask him tho.

Re: Blood Tests

I made him do it while we were dating. He was happy to do it (and maybe curious himself) even though he SWORE up & down he's been careful. He may ask you to do the same (non-issue for me). We are also both health care workers (and you'd be surprised how many ppl are HepC pos)

Test for Hep C & HIV.

Feels good to know.

Re: Blood Tests

Since this thread is still alive thought I'd update. I got my blood slips this morning and FH is going next week to get his done at his doctor. He came around after he realized I wasn't saying I wouldn't marry him if (god forbid) anything is wrong, just that i would like to know what if anything we are dealing with. Also, once he put 2 and 2 together(which is sometimes hard for him ) that if he does have something serious then there's the very real chance I never caught it b/c of protection, he would pass it to me now that we plan to end using protection after the wedding.
