Suggest Tests For Detecting STDs
I never had a real sex so far and am getting married soon.I have a fear of HIV even though i never had a sex before with any boy or girl.But i masturbate regularly for the past 5 years.I took a blood test and checked all blood cells count and doctors suggested that their is no need for any STD's test . Please suggest that i need to take any other test for sure or even blood cell count results is enough to confirmed that i am safe?
