I have been thinking. If human-animal relationships were legal and normalised, would there STD test centre that would accept animal partners and if so how would they go about testing the animal partners for STDs?

    iirc services are offered to test dogs for their STIs at the vet already. but i really wish these were expanded and you could be honest rather than have to make an excuse for it. other animals, i’m not really sure about.

    technically the STIs that dogs can get aren’t recorded to be able to pass to humans, but you do want them clean for their own health, as well as to not be the person that fucked around and found out.

    testing would be similar to how it is done for humans. they either need to draw blood, swab the genital and anal areas, or both.

      I wish that people be could honest too. No zoo nor their animal partner should feel ashamed to have that relationship. It’s at least good to know that there are test for dogs. Plus the STIs testing should be done similar to a human STIs test is important to know. I might try to make a zoo guide list of resources and have suggestions for what could be improved upon.
