For those who have been sexually abused, especially those who had repressed it, how do you feel about the need for STD testing?

It makes me sad. Up until several years ago I thought I knew my sexual history. Now I don't and I will forever have to give that answer. This isn't something that makes me depressed, but I definitely feel different. I'm at risk for things I didn't know I was at risk for and had no voice in weighing the risks. I had previously thought that there was essentially no possibility of an STD for me currently but then it became a possibility.

I don't know if it makes the abuse feel more real or something, but something about it makes me feel really sad. Fortunately my results came back clean; I really feel for those of you who have gone through this and come up with a positive result.
