    Er? You absolutely can do an STI screen without symptoms. Some of the most common STIs don’t even usually have symptoms.

            Usually the screenings are pretty thorough. I’ve gotten one at least once a year (usually 6 months) for as long as I’ve been an adult.

              “pretty thorough” isn’t saying anything.
              what, exactly, is included in that screening?

              btw, screening is wise and useful and all, it’s just not very thorough.
