I frequently get men pressuring me to forgo condoms. One of the excuses is “I’m in the military and they test us.”
Is that true? How regular is the testing?
Trans guy, he/him

I didn’t sleep with the guy, the push back on condoms is a no because it’s rape-y vibes to try to argue with my boundaries. I was just curious if he was full of shit as well as being pushy.
I test regularly. Last everything test was June, but I did HIV self check in July.

It’s about the risk profile. STD risk will never be zero, so I like to weigh the risk versus fun. Any specific guy who’s pushing back against condoms gets a “no” because pushy behavior = rapey behavior, but if the military tests monthly or something, that’s useful information.
