Should I get tested even if I have only had one partner?
We are exclusive and both fine, but the nurse made it sound like everyone should just get checked regularly. Is it necessary in a closed relationship?

A baseline test is just smart — plenty of infections are completely quiet, and one conversation with your partner covers everything else. Think of it like a dental checkup: nothing is probably wrong, and finding out either way is the point.

Testing is maintenance, not an accusation. Most couples do it at the start of a relationship precisely so this question stops coming up. If your partner reacts badly to the suggestion, that says more about their nerves than about your trust.
