    I would say every 3 to 4 months....but to be safe and healthy, practice safer sex.

    I'd probably do it every week; I don't trust anybody.

    You and your partner should both get tested before you have any sexual conduct. If you're "forever alone" (like me), there's really no need.

    I only have monogamous sex, so i usually test before and after every relationship. But if you are having anonymous sex, I'd say once a month or so.
