If I knew of a friend or love one who suspected that they might have an STD and was afraid to get tested, I would encourage them to get tested. I would explain to them that knowledge and prevention are the best defenses against STDs. I would go on to say if they continue to practice having unsafe sex that their putting their health at risk. Also, I would explain the importance of practicing abstinence. I would let them know this is the only safe way to prevent from getting an STD. If they continue to practice unsafe sex I would explain the importance of using a condom to lessen the chances of getting a STD.
