The Results Are In [STD Awareness Month Edition]

In honor of STD Awareness Month I decided to share the results of my recent checkup. I choose safe play in my hobby and personal life but it's always nice to see Negative results for the full panel of potential STDs (gonorrea, syphalis, chlamydia, HIV) . I get checked up every 2-3 months but have been going every 1-2 months due to increased sexual activity. While getting tested is your prerogative for myself I feel it is an extreme necessity in this crazy hobby and hope you lovely ladies and fellow gentleman continue to play safe out there.

Glad to know you Bareback!

Great job on getting tested reguarly to minimize the impact and get yourself on meds, if needed.

This guy does not do bareback.

That's great you are clean of non fatal diseases, but what about the fatal ones?

Where is the best place to get tested w/o insurance?

A little odd under please note: comments it has the word endocervical, do you have a vagina? Did you get a pap smear?

That prompted the move to Austin and unfortunately was put on contract for first few months but about to go full time and have insurance. Luckily I have a good relationship with my old Dr. and was able to go a couple months back and get tested and didn't cost me an arm and a leg. But looking for a place in Austin to start going regularly.

I go there because it's so cheap and educational. You can't get tested for herpes there, but they will tell you where to go for that and any other test you desire. Herpes testing is the most expensive. It's $50 I think, but it's worth it. Most people have herpes simplex 1, but it's herpes simplex 2 you should be worried about.

I highly suggest getting health insurance. Even if it's only a catastrophic level, it's very important. You never know what can happen. Check out healthcare.gov

AND haven't been tested in at least 8 month huh?

That makes perfect sense.....

If you read above I was tested 2 months ago.
