" When is it safe for us to stop using condoms? Wait until you&amp;#039;ve been monogamous for at least three months, says Lisa Masterson, a Beverly Hills OB-GYN. &amp;quot;Any infection you or he may have picked up before coupledom can be detected by then,&amp;quot; she explains. Then see your gyno and have your guy go to his doc to get blood tests for HIV, herpes, and hepatitis B and C. You&amp;#039;ll both need tests for gonorrhea, bacterial vaginosis, and trichomoniasis. In addition, you&amp;#039;ll need a swab test for Chlamydia and, if you&amp;#039;ve had an abnormal Pap, HPV; your guy should provide a urine sample to check for those STDs. Once you know you&amp;#039;re both infection-free and agree to remain monogamous, you can use any birth-control method you like. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
