Q: A week ago I went to Florida to visit my boyfriend. It's a long distance relationship and we engaged in sexual activity for the first time.

He fingered me, and I gave him blow jobs a few times, swallowing. Half way through the trip my clitoris became a bit sore and when I got home I went to the doctor. She said it was most likely just a fungal infection and gave me an antibiotic. After that, the pain went away quickly.

However, now I'm really worried. I was talking to my boyfriend on the phone about going on birth control before our next visit and I discovered that he had not gotten STD tested after his last girlfriend who he had sex with, because she was a virgin prior.

But I don't trust his ex-girlfriend and I know people lie or you can get STDs from oral sex as well.

Should I get tested for STDs, and if so, which ones?

Am I wrong to ask my boyfriend to get tested as well, even if his ex was a virgin?

He thinks I'm being paranoid.
There is nothing wrong with getting tested, it's better safe than sorry.

Thank you.

Hi, thanks for coming to my column.

The name is Diamond but Dia is fine.

20, female, jersey girl at heart. mixed race taurus natured woman.

So...the reason I made this was during the start of my senior year of high school I had reached a point in my life where I didn't want to live anymore. I was tired of fighting and didn't see the reasons to fight. It was a random stranger that made me realize I would be stupid to take my life and to stop fighting.

So if you think I'm going to tell you life gets easier, I'm not. Let's face it, it doesn't get easier. Through pain you get stronger and learn to open your eyes to those things that give you strength to live.

Mine happen to be music, writing, dr. pepper, anime, the color black, the way rain sounds, and an amazing boyfriend. What gives you strength to live?
