If you visit GFE sp's frequently you should get tested at least every six months.

The last time I was tested in June I just went into a regular walk-in medical clinic. Sent me for blood and urine tests. Had the results in 10 days.

I've never had an STD so sometimes I have to kick myself in the ass to keep to this schedule.
 
I just had mine done at Hassle Free a month ago.

They recommended my next round to be in 2 years.

When you call up they ask you when you had your last test and your last bare back experience. You need to be more than a year since your last round of testing, and more than 3 months since your last BB experience orelse they tell you to wait.
 
You are correct...

...but that is why I stopped going to the "Hassle Free". BS! It was a hassle!
I am committed to every 3 mo testing. Condoms break, slip, then BBBJ, DATY etc. WTF, I am not paranoid just trying to be prudent and they give you a long harangue about too much testing?
Glad Hamilton is easy for me.

HF is on Gerrard, just west of Church.

Hot little female doctor there I was just HOPING to have to whip out my cock for. Unfortunately, I got one of the guys.

Sigh....

If you are a straight guy, you are being waaaayyyy too paranoid.

I'm far far far more worried about getting cancer than AIDS anytime soon.

My odds of getting cancer (as are yours) is 50 50.

A straight male having bare back vaginal sex, your odds are beyond slim of contracting HIV. You have better odds of getting stung to death by bees.
 
Nope...

Straight but not paranoid, and I agree with everything you state. Also I drive too fast, play with things that go BANG! and I am too old to give a S. But I am committed to every 3 mos, and the HF clinic is misnamed!
 
What would be a recommended amount of visits for one who usually plays it safe with the safety on?

As previously stated by moi, Hassle Free (who sees ALOT of cocks) recommends every 2 years.

I see NO REASON to deviate, regardless of the paranoia that permiates these threads.

"usually" is a big word. If you say "always", then you have nothing to worry about. If you say "usually", then you would "usually" know when to get a test.

Gyaos.
 
So that is 100%

I was wondering because it just covers one area and not a full body suit

True, but you seem to forget that you can get HPV, the clap, Clamydia, crabs, herpes...

I get one every 3 months. At first the doc asked why so often and I told him I hobby. No more questions.

Fair enough, though as someone who has had more than his fair share of cock checks by doctors, including the dreaded Q tip, I can only relate what I was told and that was that for all the above, males, almost always, (though not 100% of time) exhibit symptoms. It's females that don't exhibit symtoms.

Herpes is a big concern I must admit as it is not cureable and condoms do not offer very good protection against it. Hence it's always a good idea to do a little DATY and check things out (in a good light)

Actually they do, so long as you use them correctly, use the right ones correctly, and more importantly, you have sex, safely. You know the score, Spock.

Condoms leave the base of the penis fully exposed. In fact, if vigourous intercourse, they can pull half way up. Herpes can infect the base of your penis.

I knew a woman who had herpes who would get it on her ass cheek in fact.

The delay in getting results is due to the fact that the walk-in clinic has to send it to a public health unit.
 
Q-tip ,try a needle

Just for suspecting Chlamydia and not actually having it they put a needle into you erected penis threw the hole. Surprisingly cold needle with a shaky nurse’s hand and not the hand on my shaft. Good times by had by all
