Maybe give some free advice about: STD Information?
You can go anywhere from your regular gynecologist to your primary care doc. Hope i helped :)

If you have been in a monogamous relationship for 7 years you would not get an STD from having Anal sex with this man. Getting a STD check is always a good thing in any case, something the both of you should have gotten when you first started sleeping together.
If you would not find it embarrassing to ask your family doctor, and you should not find it embarrassing. Your family doctor or GYN could provide the testing for you. Otherwise look up any of the planned parenthood clinics in your area, or women's health clinics.

Hi there,
You may be able to find a planned parenthood clinic near you, which would allow you to get an STD test right away:

The CDC also maintains a big list of testing places:

My big question at this point is this: If you have been with this guy for 7 years, what makes you think that you suddenly have an STD, when you have been having sex with him all this time already? Did he cheat on you, or are you under the impression that you can only get certain STDs through anal sex? If so, that isn't true. Anything he has, you have had for years.
Should you get tested? Sure, why not? But whatever you may have picked up, if he has anything, you probably got from him a long time ago.
STD testing is always a good idea anyway. Make sure to get your PAP done on schedule as well, since HPV isn't most likely to manifest itself in ways only your gynecologist will be likely to spot.
Good luck!

If the man you've been with for seven years didn't give you an STD already in your vagina, I think your anus is safe.
