I get tested for STD's...

[a 1 player]

There have been many threads over years discussing STD' s, BBFS, and getting tested. This is just an informal poll, (mostly for my own curiosity), to just see how people actually feel about going to get tested.

Please do not turn this into a bashing or preaching session, we already have enough of those.

I know what STD's are but what are SDT's LOL

BTW, I get tested regularly. Last one was just this week. Will do it again in 6 months.

They say that, if North Korea does not stop processing uranium; the US will drop an SDT on them (very bad!)

Oops, sorry... Corrected.

Everyone should get swabbed too. Not just blood test. Not all STD's come up in the blood.

I also send out my toilet seat to get tested. Can't be too careful.

I asked for a blood test once for hepatitis C about 8 years ago cause I needed a blood transfusion back in 1987 ( auto wreak...went too fast around a curve ) Test came back clean...thank god...but the bill was $300....I got screwed, lol

I get a throat swab as well as the regular tests.....

I guess I should answer this myself.

I go every six months, but sooner if there is a relationship budding.

I get tested every three months : PAP, blood, urine and throat. ^_^ (My doctor thinks that I am a germaphobe ...perhaps I should tell him what I do...lol)

Urethra swab is fun!

Urethra swab is fun!

My doc is a thirty something career woman with large B's, so both the swab and the prostate exam are good.

She wanted to know why I was wanting to be check so often, and I told her that I'm single, not in a committed relationship and screw anything that moves. I got the lecture, but she just makes it part of the quarterly visit now.

Although not as bodacious, I have some FUN things I can use if he loves those swabs

 

[Classy Angel]

I have a full panel done once a month. Probably excessive, but I have other issues (not contageous) which require that my blood be taken 3 times a week anyway - so tossing in an exta few tests and a throat swab is really not a big deal.

Hassle Free won't even check straight men more than once a year anymore. Preferably every 2 years (for HIV).

If you're exhibiting symptoms of some other STD, then they'll give you an apt.

Too many clowns wanting HIV tests everytime they hook up with a new chick apparently and they are clogging up the system.

So you are saying Hassle free is now a hassle?

Makes perfect sense. Dammit.

No, not at all. They still do the same work. Just they only have so many resorces and testing little straight kids every second week because they fucked another girl bareback and the next chick is insisting that he get tested now is a waste of those resources.

I was told that as a straight male who doesn't do drugs that getting an HIV test every 2 years is fine. At the most, once a year.

Here is a link to their policy regarding HIV testing:

Every year during my physical exam I ask Dr. for full spec std tests, he always says the same thing "you don't statically need this Bogo" I always insist. If I am entering a new relationship I book appointment at Sexual Health Clinic for tests.

In 20 plus years I have never had a positive at all except for one bought of chlamydia.

WOW that's a very different reaction then I get. I go to the hassel free clinic every 3 months and tell them I am an SP. No muss, no fuss I get throat swabs, vaginal and anal swabs and a blood/urine test for good measure.

Lucky for me I have never had a positive result but I keep going every 90 days anyways. I like the Hassel Free clinic because they have rapid HIV testing and u get your answer in about 2 minutes.

I'm sure if you went into the Hassel Free clinic as a man and told them you regularly see SPs they would gladly test you for whatever you'd like. You can also go in their with an assumed name and no health card and still be seen free of charge. For life insurance reasons I always go to the Hassel Free clinic under an assumed name and they are perfectly fine with it.

Well that's because you're a sex worker, so yeah, statistically speaking, you are at higher risk, so you go to the front of the line.

Plus, you're female, and statistically, you are at far higher risk of contracting HIV from an infected male than a male is contracting it from an infected female - even bare back.

The good folks at HF know this. It's not politically correct (AIDS is everyone's disease on paper), but it is a fact.

I also don't regularly see SPs.
