I don't know how well educated docs are about poly in the US, I guess it would vary from state to state as well. I've had a heck of a time getting UK ones to pay attention to the important facts. The last time I got tested here they made a great fuss over the fact that I had a bisexual male partner, whereas actually my straight male primary partner was engaging in more slutty behaviour with far more people, but I gave up on explaining it in the end and just stated 'I'm getting tested' over and over until it sank in. When people are plainly following a rote system and not using logic, it's tempting just to give up trying to educate.
