Thank you all for voting! I really like the results of this poll. However, I would encourage those who selected "Maybe", "No", or "Once" to go get tested, or to get tested again. Even for those who have been tested many times, make sure you continue to get tested, and make sure that your partners have been tested too!
Please check out the sidebar for the new question!
Wow! I don't know if the reason why your poll has so many people who have tested more than once is due to your Peace Corps following, but that is AMAZING. I'm so impressed with people who aren't afraid to get tested regularly. It's scary and I know that's why so many avoid it. So bravo to you and your readers for being so awesome and getting tested!
ReplyDeleteMost OB doctors in the US make you get tested when you are pregnant (maybe all do). That could be influencing the results. It is why ive been tested twice (have 2 children) .
