I got tested just a few weeks ago[…]. I’m clean.

I’m really enjoying this story, but there’s nothing like a phrase like this, used in the context of STI testing, to make me cringe. I can’t ignore the implication that having an STI is “dirty”, and it is annoyingly jarring! (Also, I’m listening to this as an audiobook, and while it’s generally well-narrated, I had to laugh that the narrator said “anomynity” earlier on. I had to rewind it to be sure I hadn’t misheard!
