For me, even though I’m in a long term relationship I get checked yearly.

Reason being is my mom was married for 20 years and found out he was cheating when she showed symptoms of an STD and got checked and tested pos for one.

It’s not that I don’t trust him, my mom just drilled it into my head that its my job to make sure I’m in good health and need to get tested every time I get a pap.

My sister is in a new fling and I asked her if she asked him to get checked first and she said no and isn’t worried about it and that gives me anxiety.
