    Right now I just recently (early winter) came off my parents insurance policy due to my age, and not being in school full-time (college). I also believe I would be coming off anyway full-time or not come my 23rd b-day this summer. I do not have the $$$ right now to pay for health insurance, but I'm working that out before summer.

    My issue is a sexual partner who has not been honest with me and I am recently finding out some stories do not match up and an odd visit to the gyno, as well as a 2 week break in sex. Also another crazy story that seemed fishy, but was so serious I didn't want to doubt it, until now. Don't want or need to go in details but I feel worried and positive enough were I wanted to ask this question.

    I don't think I have anything at all(no physical signs at all which I know isn't a safe bet), but there is no way of knowing that unless I am tested. My question is before shelling out more money then I would with health insurance and without waiting until it becomes effective, would the partners gyno office legally be able to tell me if she contracted anything, which in turn would have put me at risk to contract something?

    No they cannot. But she can, if she wants to and if you trust her to be truthful. I am guessing not.

    I would demand that she show you the test results (paperwork) or it is a definite deal breaker. If she refuses you should get tested ASAP as she is probably hiding something.

    To answer your question specifically, they cannot show or tell you the test results as it is against HIPPA regulations.

    Both of you I appreciate your quick and helpful answers. Everything is most likely fine (I hope) as I am usually good at reading people but once my mind starts racing it's hard to stop it!

    Now it's off to decide what to do.

    Again thank you.

    There are generally free clinics for such screenings. Just go get an aids test.

    I think last night I panicked a bit more then normal. Few things got worked out this morning, and I will be asking her to bring me with her to her doctor. It is nothing that should effect the relationship at all and if she agrees and brings me I won't be worried at all.

    How can it not? She cheated on you, so it has to add some trust issues to the forefront?

    Regardless, best of luck to you on it all.

    She did not cheat on me as far as I know. And my 2 week sex break was way off. I went through my journal and found out it was only a few days. So I panicked big time there and blew it a little out of proportion. The thing was she lied and left out certain things about the gyno visit (which she told me were serious issues non-std related) and it made me wonder about the visit's.

    I will be going down and looking at paperwork with her to clear everything up asap. Just spoke with her on my break so hopefully going there right after work or have the paper work in a sealed envelope waiting for me.

    If she is the only person you have had any kind of physical relations with for your entire life, including simply kissing........then this will suffice.

    If it isn't, you should go get a full STD screen. Maybe you have something and gave it to her, maybe you don't. But you owe it to her as well as yourself to check.....there's two of you involved here.

    She was not my first, but I did make sure I was screened as well as her when we first started getting serious about a year ago. Everything for both of us came back clean. Called there office earlier and they close at 4 and my job wouldn't let me leave early, so I will be speaking with them tomorrow and picking up her paperwork tomorrow afternoon.

    She also setup a time to have a conference call with her doctor so permission can be granted for me to ask anything I wanted. So I am MUCH less worried then before. Wish she just would have been open about everything earlier instead of causing this mess.

    Oh, my fault. Guess I thought that's what was going on the way I read it. I guess it has more to do with her past then.

    Still good luck with you and hopefully you both learn from this and everything comes back negative.

    I think you are worrying way too much. Most of the nasty stuff is difficult to pass from female to male if the sex is ******l. Sure, you might pick up a case of the clap, but syphillis and AIDS would be highly unlikely. Herpes can be worked around if your partner will be honest about outbreaks...HPV...take the vaccine...both men and women should.

    Not a Dr or any sort of medical professional but have been single since the early 80s and sexually active with no ill effects.

    Ok so I went down there a couple days after. Everything was not as she said **phew**. She does not have the best memory and did not have an std test done. :D She did have a deep papsmear done because of abnormal cells on her cervix. So the only possible thing I could think of was HPV. I'm not worried anymore, but will be getting a full screen just to be safe. I've also had no signs what so ever of anything wrong going on down there.
