STI testing 101

1 min read · Safety

Regular testing and open disclosure are simply part of taking care of each other.

Getting tested regularly and talking about it openly is a normal, caring part of the lifestyle. Test regularly: many active folks test every 3–6 months, or between new partners. Ask your clinic for a full panel. Disclose honestly: sharing your last-tested date is a courtesy, not an interrogation. Escapade has an optional health chip on your profile you can share with matches. Reduce risk: barriers, PrEP, and clear conversations all help. There's no shame here — just people looking out for one another. This is general info, not medical advice — talk to a healthcare provider about what's right for you.
