Seems to us that this is a way more knowledgeable community, and probably way less risk, than back in university, for example. Not riskfree.... so be careful, but not paranoid. |
My guess is that when you were single, your physician knew it and examined you with more specificity relating to STD's without you even knowing it.
I have always kept my physician informed - he is my pit crew so to speak - he needs to know where I've been and what I've been up to in order to look for things that I personally wouldn't have a clue about. And he needs to know so that he can advise me.
Of course, I live in Los Angeles - not a small community by any stretch of the imagination, so I may not have the same pressures to keep things away from him.
I can tell you though, it gives me a good feeling to know he is looking out for me - even if he may or may not approve of my behavior.
