No, but I have been in the past 12 months

Are you currently sexually active with more than one partner, or open to it?

A symptom or something appeared on my body

I had an unexpected exposure and had to get tested

A partner told me their status — and it changed how I think

General education — I follow for information

Yes, sometimes — depends on the situation

I haven't had sex with someone new recently (in the past 12 months)

I'd worry about my health data being stored somewhere I can't control

I didn't know how to ask without killing the mood

I assumed they'd say something if there was an issue

Honestly, it just didn't feel necessary in that moment

I didn't want to seem paranoid or accusatory

Nothing held me back — I handled it how I wanted

We both shared at the same time — it felt mutual

The relationship or vibe made it feel safe to be direct

Think about a time the STI conversation actually went smoothly with someone new. What made the difference? (Select all that apply)

I already had my results available and easy to show

Having a specific diagnosis to discuss actually made it more straightforward

The other person brought it up first — that made it easier

It's never gone smoothly — or it hasn't come up that way

I disclosed a diagnosis and lost a connection over it

Actually tested positive after an encounter

Had to make an unplanned clinic or doctor visit

I've never experienced a negative outcome from this

Anxiety or stress after the encounter — just waiting and wondering

A relationship or connection ended over this

I regretted not asking — but nothing happened

Pressured — it would feel controlling or invasive

Both — safer for me, but I'd worry about how it feels to ask

Depends entirely on the person and context

Neutral — I wouldn't feel strongly either way

Monthly or more often (before/after nearly every partner)
