"Been following a thread on popular social media about swingathon.. A post was made in support of swingers and that we are more likely to take care of our sexual health ( which i agree with) But it was said that many want to see recent test results for entry. Now ive over my 3 decades in the lifestyle been to an awful lot of clubs and have never heard of this..nor could I see how this could be asked for due to data protection etc. Have I just missed those clubs... do some of them ask for a recent clear result? Cali x" As much as I like to see my sexual partners being upto date with their Sti tests, my sexual health is my and only my responsibility. Due to incubation period they can never be 100% guaranteed and can’t be trusted for their face value . Only thing it shows is someone take care of their sexual health seriously and gets tested. I’m not aware of swingathon thread but I have heard some horror stories from clubs scene. HIV+ people attending clubs and playing in group scenarios without telling play partners about their status. Clubs refused to ban and still allows entry even after finding out. Did swingathon asked for recent tests results to gain entry? | |||

It would be impossible to do so, without some means of instant resting on site. Any test result is only valid on the day it was taken and even the results state that there are windows where certain STD's arent detectable after transmission. | |||

Undetectable= Untransmittable U=U" Once the viral load is undetectable it is important that people are adherent – meaning they continue to take their treatment as prescribed – and have their viral load monitored regularly to ensure they remain undetectable. How do we know they are strictly adherent to the routine? I still believe they should inform potential partners before any sexual activity. Number of individuals have been charged or convicted of reckless transmission of HIV. Individuals can also avoid liability for reckless transmission if they have taken steps to mitigate the risk of transmission. Although this has not been specifically tested in the courts, U=U is likely to be significant. It's still important to talk to potential sexual partners. | |||

" Definitely not a gossip. Some people on HIV thread are very open about it. All you need to do is look into these threads and check their meets and statuses. Not everyone who attend clubs are on fab so they don’t know about this. Swinging is risky and I have come across and chatted to people in clubs who were active on the scene for decades and never been tested let alone knew how to book one. | |||

We know that they are adhering to their medication because they would have to be continually tested in order to remain on their medication and to remain Undetectable. Just as anybody on PrEP medication must be tested very regularly and be negative for the virus. Again, it's very dangerous to be accusatory or even speculative of this when we do not have actual proof. It is very much gossip. U=U. You are perpetuating the stigma of HIV when it is now a very much managed virus. The medication for it is very good and very advanced now. It's irresponsible to spread fear like that. It is upto us personally to be tested regularly and take responsibility. | |||

" I attended the swingathon event last week (it was great!) and my understanding is that there was a group chat for attendees on social media where STI testing was discussed and results shared. I wasn't part of that group so unable to corroborate this. | |||

"Maybe I missed something but I don't think there was anything accusatory in the OP's original question which related to whether swingers' clubs ever request evidence of negative results for STI testing. Personally I have never heard of anything like this at clubs and for the reasons already mentioned it would be unenforcible and of little value. " No,not at all from the OP . I totally agree with you. | |||

"Personally speaking, any club that wanted this I would avoid like the plague. As ppl have said, a test is only valid on that day and to ask for test results is, in my opinion encouraging unprotected sex. Did ppl learn nothing from the 80s??" I worked in safer sex education back in that era-early nineties. It really is very different now with advances in treatments,improved and faster testing etc. I'm not sure it's a great idea to go back there where there was so much fear and lack of good information. All we need to do is to test regularly as much as we can and protect ourselves. I certainly agree that clubs should not be heading this way. If people rest and take their medication then that would cover most situations. I find it incredible that some people do not test or only go to a clinic when they think they have symptoms when it could be a much more regular and routine thing. | |||

I have been told on a very public FB post that most clubs do this.... which I have never heard of any club doing... apart from content creation events. I have been to many many clubs but thought maybe id missed some x | |||

"They have been doing this in Europe and around the world for years. In France and Germany Holland and Jamaica. We are behind in everything and I've recently had a sti and Aids test and everything all clear that's 30 years. "I'm tested between every 8-12 weeks and I'd think if we were taking responsibility and are meeting it's just good practice to be tested regularly. I've never seen it as compulsory in a club etc though. | |||

At the same time anyone carrying the virus has duty of care to inform potential partners before any sexual activity takes place. It’s my body and my choice who I play with. U=U doesn’t give them god given right to play without informing. It is not gossip and I find it inappropriate to discuss in details what happened at club. But people who played with this person were upset and confronted this person and had to take necessary precautions and medications. Not everyone is equipped mentally and willing to take risks like this. This person should have told them in beginning. Like I said before, Do some research on this site and you will find few profiles. | |||

"First Friday of the month infusion Blackpool do free sti and Aids test and its optional not forced on you. It takes about 5 minutes for the Aids test. Xx69 "..its an hiv test not an aids test. Irs good that they are doing it as a lot of areas have had their funding cut and can't go to clubs for drop ins anymore. | |||
