I’m not sure how many of terb members get regular screening for stds but has it ever stopped any of you in the fear of having something and your so finding out because it has to be reported??

I know these tests can be done anonymously but if you do end up having something the clinic may have to report it to the appropriate health authorities, to your doctor or your so in all if not some cases.

Better to be safe than sorry!!

I never understood the paranoia around going to the doctor. Who are they going to report it to? Isn't the doctor under oath to keep patient's data confidential? I have even told doctors in the past when I saw a SW. They truly do not care.

As for your question - fear has never stopped me from getting tested. In fact, I would be more afraid not to get tested and go around carrying an infectious disease I could spread to others or that could make me infertile.

I believe they report to certain government agencies for data on rates of STIs.

To answer the question, no it doesn't concern me. I'd rather get checked out and stay healthy than to potentially live in denial.

But I'm not married.

Some diseases are legally mandated to be reported to the public health unit. The public health department then can do contact tracing, or “partner notification” to make sure those exposed, know their risk and can seek treatment.

Anonymous testing like at the HFC, they still will report positive results to the health unit, important for keeping track for a statistics point of view, but since the result is not attached to your identity, no contact tracing can be performed. HFC was started to encourage testing, to identify more infected, as many people were worried about the partner tracing, or in the case of HIV, being outed.

Realistically, I’m not sure how aggressively they trace contacts, ie they aren’t going to interview your friends to see who you banged. It’s largely reliant on you identifying potential contacts. Tho with a spouse, may be a different issue. In recent memory tho, I’ve not heard of a spouse/ gf getting a call from public health telling then that they have been exposed. Other terb members may have different experiences.

Part of the paranoia is the doctor pressing you for a list of sexual partner names from you, statements of you have a legal obligation to contact those you have been active with or they will have a nurse contact them, etc etc.

A year or so ago I had a friend share with me over a lunch that a nurse has contacted him and that a lady he had a short fling with had tested positive and given his name/number to the clinic. Note they did not identify who gave his name, he simply was able to deduce who it was due to his limited partner count over the last year or two.

We talked about his obligation to go to that particular clinic or elsewhere, if he would be required to give his results to the nurse who notified him, would he have to share his list of partners if he did test positive, etc.

I can still remember the stress he was under, not use to being tested regularly, the process, etc.


Ultimately he did not have anything (dodged a bullet) and shared with me the doctor he visited with, when asked, suggested 'they appreciate receiving the names of possible partners that could be infected if someone does test positive and some will push hard for it, ultimately it's the client's choice if they do share or not'. This is just one doctor's opinion passed along here for discussion.

Noting once again a nurse can call that person to advise them to get tested - but obviously if the person they are calling only had 1-2 partners say in the last year or more - they would likely figure out who gave their name, possibly freak out them, etc.


For those who want to be tested regularly (and we support you) and resisting for any reason, such as the one above I just described, for a few dollars you have these options (as I have shared in another thread recently):

If you are found infected, they attempt to contact all your past sexual partners (assuming you knew names / numbers)
In addition if any future partner gets infected they will charge you with a crime for not disclosing to them what you were infected with

There's no way this is true. If it is then Assman should be able to make a claim against that girl that gave him herpes.

Is this a a troll? You are charged for murder pretty much if you knowingly spread HIV. But other std’s when tf has that ever become a thing?

Which communicable disease do you think you are allowed to knowingly spread? (and no Herpes is not notifiable, others such as Hep C are)

Fuck they even have an online website for the clueless to search through
https://dsol-smed.phac-aspc.gc.ca/notifiable/


Besides which
Males are 3 times as likely as females to contract HIV
Gay males are 2 times as likely as straight males to contract HIV
Gay males are also 2 times as likely as drug users to contract HIV
Drug users are slightly (12%) more likely to contract vs straight males
Gay drug users are 1.5 times as likely as straight drug users to contract HIV
Whites tend to get HIV far more often in every category except drug users where Natives take the crown
Oddly Blacks are the far most common group to contract via heterosexual non drug use (denial???)

Someone explain this to me:

If you test anonymously at a sexual health clinic (which is possible and I have done it) HOW THE FUCK IS THE CLINIC GOING TO KNOW YOUR PAST PARTNERS, FREQUENCY OR NUMBERS AND THEN CONTACT THEM ALL. For the sake of argument, you fucked some girl bare while drunk and on a bender and have no more contact with her.

Just like how people bitch about screening to see escorts.
Why would you give your family doctor this information?

There is a whole lot of bullshit in this thread.

Also in addition, many don't test and even if they do and are positive for something who is really going to stop them from seeing escorts. What is the probability an SP would be able identify who gave them something given the frequency and number of partners. It just doesn't seem very likely.

Unfortunately people will be ignorant and ruin it for everyone.

All you can do is protect yourself and be courtesy to others.

This topic is interesting and quite complicated. There are public health agencies and MDs whose entire job is the topic of this thread.

Having said that, your primary care doctor has STRICT confidentiality guidelines. Under section 22 of the HPPA yes they also have to report certain cases to the proper authorities. However the index case is always counseled and appropriate reporting techniques and stragegies are put in place. Its not like your GP is gonna go on the phone and call all your contacts and say your name. Its more to it than that. THere is also a track back period for certain things, not all your partners are contacted only ones from a certain time.


The reportable conditions are Table 5 here: https://www.canada.ca/en/public-hea...lines-sexually-transmitted-infections-17.html

These include : Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Primary and secondary syphilis, HIV and Heptatits B.



People that have gone through this process can testify that the contact tracing is by no means hostile, ALOT of effort is put into place to make sure the index patients concerns and privacy are protected as best possible but with all that there still exist some difficulties.

For the actual guidlines on contact tracing look at this document https://www.publichealthontario.ca/-/media/documents/sti-case-management-contact-tracing.pdf?la=en
Page 50 i think has that stuff




Not being open and honest to your GP is more harmful. Honestly, GPs dont give a shit if you see escorts or anything and they wont risk their liscence on telling your partner etc. Gotta be open to protect yourself.

It's not a bad thing. You just become another statistic. In some ways, it's an honor.
