(HPV is a good example, and it can be transmitted even when using condoms.) I suggest you educate yourself on all sexually-related matters as quickly as possible, for your own good as well as your partner's. Also, to talk over everything with her as openly as possible.

I asked what you tested because for example, in my case, in am infected with Hepatitis B, but I am what you may call a "Helathy Carrier", that means the disease does not manifest itself in me, but I can transmit it to others... So what were you tested for exactly?

But you still used condoms, right?
I mean what is the purpose of testing each other? Is it to have unprotected sex?

Yes but my question is, how high are they?
