STI test reminder

Down the back of the sofa.

It’s not exactly a thing we might want to think about. However, as we’re in a group of people that had more sex than others with different partners, we should have regular tests.

A quick google will bring you to your free service on the NHS. It’s free it’s easy, what’s not to love

Let’s be the change we wish to happen.

Post below when you’ve ordered!

Ours always take blood from your fingers?

Would make sense though. Get a boner and there's a plentiful supply of blood ready and waiting.

Well done, I wasn't sure if Hampshire covered you.

Ours is the Chlamydia only test that's 15-24yrs.

So I'm a bit odd and quite like the feeling of it. Collecting the blood? No.

And yes, I do everything you're meant to. Normally go to the gym beforehand, have a hot shower, know how to hold my arm in order for the blood flow to be easier...

I always end up having to order more lancets.

Side note : nothing is a bigger acid test of whether someone actually sees you as a human being and is worth your time or not like their reaction when you tell them they need to get tested as you have just had a positive result. I had a positive chlamydia result not long ago and more than one of the guys I messaged didn’t even acknowledge my message , not even a thanks for letting me know, yet I have heard from them since asking about meeting. Safe to say they haven’t had a response from me and won’t be getting one either

The only issue with the NHS service is it can take up to two weeks because of the volume of tests they conduct, my latest one came back clear yesterday from 3 May. The paid for test at home kits from private pharmacies are about a three day turnaround. But it’s something we should all do for sure.

When you go through the online consultation there is a question asking if you have sex with multiple people at the same time. Ticking yes seems to trigger no holes barred testing, so to speak. I do this routinely now irrespective of whether I have or not since my last test.

OP, might not want to think about? I absolutely think about it all the time.

I've bee tested regularly, every 3 months for about 15 years and happily always been clear.

Recreational sex should be, and always has been self Policing, and we all owe it to each other to be part of that. Fabswingers is a toxic site within the scene, and well known as such. Happily the healthier end of the recreational sex world is very aware, and very safe.

In fact I'd go so far as to say it's safer having sex with people in the scene, despite their obvious promiscuity, than it is having sex with randoms in bars when you're d*unk - that lacks consent & safety big time. At least in this community the majority are safe & aware.

Look after each other people.

London


"It’s not exactly a thing we might want to think about. However, as we’re in a group of people that had more sex than others with different partners, we should have regular tests.

A quick google will bring you to your free service on the NHS. It’s free it’s easy, what’s not to love

Let’s be the change we wish to happen.

Post below when you’ve ordered! "

I use the nhs postal service. It arrives quick and then the results are sent within 3-4 days. Brilliant service but not widely advertised and I had to do quite a deep google search to find it in my area as most sexual health things seem to be aimed at under 25s.

Lucky to be covered by shl in London.

Collected kit from reception.to DIY this time.

Oral swab nearly gagged but got there.

Anal swab was straightforward.

Wee sample straightforward,

I've always struggled with blood tests (am known as a fainter), but hey gave it a go...OMFG three pricks in three fingers totalled about 5 drops of blood with 5 min "Milking my finger" (a phrase I have only learned of today), just got nowhere).

I was raging with myself about this but no other options. (somewhat reassuring to see comments that others struggle with this too)

Had to send off test with the few drop regardless, but I'll have to book a local clinic to cover the gaps.
