How to Discuss CD Testing with a Partner

When discussing CD testing with a partner, it is important to have the conversation at an appropriate time, not during or immediately before intimacy. A good approach is to bring up the topic when you are spending quality time together, such as at home or in bed. Start the conversation by expressing your attraction to the person and acknowledging that you are becoming more intimate. Then, ask if they have been tested recently. It is crucial to approach the subject in a classy and elegant way, emphasizing that your own health and well-being are important. Overall, the key is to communicate openly and honestly while respecting each other's boundaries.
