  Herpes can be spread, even with condoms. Often asymptomatic, also so common/with a test that is also so prone to false positives that they don’t test for it in most panels.

  PREP, PEP, and doxyPREP are great things. There should also be no stigma around STI’s - a large chunk of adults get one at some point in their lives. Trich or HPV I think the vast majority of people don’t even know.

  The big thing is that everyone should be an adult and open/honest about their risks and tolerances. The more partners you have, the more likely a condom is to break or something is to go wrong. There’s a balance in all things.

  As someone in a polycule, that could very soon not be true.

    would you like to elaborate?

    because

    • HIV is preventable through PrEP
    • gonorrhoea is curable with antibiotics
    • syphilis is curable with antibiotics
    • chlamydia is curable with antibiotics
    • mgen is curable with antibiotics
    • many of the above are preventable with DoxyPEP
    • herpes is treatable
    • HPV is preventable through vaccination
