The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
I'd say, as a woman, that I would be pleased that you are conscientious enough to suggest it. Maybe go in together, or go in separately with good friends?
I asked my boyfriend the same thing about a year ago, and he took it well. For me, it was just like...it would give me peace of mind. And he was cool with that.
It's only a huge deal if you make it a huge deal. IMO, it's something people should do anyway.
I'd say just approach it tactfully. Tell her it would just make you that much more comfortable with her, it's better to be safe about it, etc. And stress that you want to get tested too. I'd say, if she's insulted by the idea, that may soften the blow.
I've always used something along the lines of "I know I'm overly paranoid, but paranoia about this is a good thing. When were you last tested for std's?". I get tested during my physical, cuz it's just easy to get stuff done. My current bf had never ever been tested, so I insisted he did get tested before we even contemplated stopping with condoms (use other stuff, no worries, just doesn't protect against std's)

In the future, you only really need to go after each sexual partner to keep on top of things.
