The Clap

It’s actually pretty normal. We should thank him for posting and do our part and get tested. It’s also encouraging that the studios get the ladies treated and out of rotation while the antibiotics do their thing. OP is being a team player and acting responsibly.

The person you have to worry about is the one who refuses to go in for a complete panel. Originally Posted by Action&Reaction

1. I REALLY REALLY hope all of us mongers are getting tested periodically, especially those of us that are partaking in BBFS. Because obviously the responsible thing to do is get tested periodically so that you don't fuck everyone else over!!

2. Doug4343 should gets props for having the balls to make a post like this. He's in a no-win situation here, but at the very least it's good to bring something serious like this to everyone's attention. Maybe a monger will read this thread and realize he hasn't been tested in a while and decides to get tested.

3. If you have tested positive recently, I really hope are waiting for a negative test before you start hobbying again (versus starting hobbying right after you finish antibiotics but haven't received a negative test yet).

I really hate to sound so preachy with all of this, but this stuff obviously impacts every monger, so some of it needs to be said. Please just be considerate and get tested periodically!!!

yup
ive been lucky af through all these years nothing ever came up. only bb a few atfs one at time never multilple until recently
but its still a good time to get tested.
also cover only lowers your risk does not prevent std, cover is mostly to prevent pregnancy.

Looks like the clap is back at the studios. That's why you are seeing some of the ladies go out for a week or two and come back. Yes my ten test came back positive for that. If you've been, seen any for BBFS especially, you should probably get tested. Originally Posted by Doug4343

Good idea to get tested regardless of which studio you go to. It's impossible to pinpoint exactly who it started from and which studios it may or may not have spread to. No studios will give that info out anyway so best to be on the safe side and test periodically.

You guys do annual skin cancer screenings? It's covered under my company's health insurance so it's mostly free. My dermatologist noted that the two bumps I had were Molluscum Contagiosum and likely sexually transmitted.

Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Do they do the mail in tests? Do they get cheap tests from Amazon (no clue if legit but you get the point)… also would like to see people “educate” others that if you do This option you can use different name etc

Any online test that let's you pick a local facility then get results online is the best thing. I wouldn't mess with home tests unless you are a trained clinician yourself. Not that a facility can't fuck it up, but you are more likely to.


Also, do you guys think someone did thus to Miho, cause she was gone a few days, but came back one day this weekend and now she's gone again. That seems more like vacation to me, just my opinion tho.

I use https://www.stdcheck.com. It’s $139 for a 10 panel test and you can select a nearby lab (lab corp, quest diagnostics, and even indy labs.). If you test positive for a treatable infection they have doctors that can send in a prescription to your pharmacy of choice. It’s very convenient and I test quarterly.

Oh and you do not need to show your ID to the lab technician this way.

I get tested every single time I go to my family doctor, which is usually 2-3 times per year. My thinking is that if I am there, I might as well get tested. And then the other times I just schedule tests through CVS Pharmacy. They have so many locations so it's super convenient to get whichever date and time you want. You can also get tested at any minute clinic, although it is a bit more expensive there.
