I'm serious; one of the reasons I don't engage in casual sex with men is because I would have to trust his self-report of whether or not he has HIV (and almost half of the men with HIV don't know that they have it).

Something you can do: Ask when they were most recently tested, and if you don't trust them then ask to see the STI report. In many circles that's not too unusual a request.

Incidentally, how hard is it to forge an STI report?

Probably not harder than to forge an ID -- something a great number of teenagers manage to do successfully :-/

Probably not that difficult, if someone really wanted to. I don't think there's a standard everyone uses.
