" A quick google will bring you to your free service on the NHS. It’s free it’s easy, what’s not to love " Is it an appropriate use of NHS funding ? I can't get my teeth checked for free but if I choose to be promiscuous I can get a free STD test ? | |||

"Oh we should have regular sti tests should we? How do you suppose I do that, Chop my cock off and post it? How's about just being safe and sensible, being conscious of the danger and knowing the symptoms if mistakes have been made? " Some STIS can be present with symptoms. the postal kits come with a variety of different tests depending on what genitals you have and who you smoosh with them. You may get a selection of the following: Urine sample kit Rectal swab Throat swab Blood sample kit Vaginal swab Just look up your local areas provision! While being safe is good, testing helps strengthen that behaviour! | |||

How about being conscious and being aware that not all sti's have any symptoms at all! Great filter for knowing those who don't look after their sexual health. Mrs | |||

Hydrated, did star jumps to get the blood flowing, soaked my hand in warm water before the wee prick, made a fist repeatedly, massaged the finger and it was still a nightmare any other tips gratefully received. | |||

I'll admit I never used to test but now do every 3 months, even if using condoms for sex, as nothing is totally safe x | |||

"I'm all up to date! All negative, good to go etc. Including my smear test because I decided I might as well tackle everything at once. I've got my next ordering date set on my calendar so I'll be back in a couple of months to bemoan blood collecting unless a lover helps me out again. "I've had all my tests barring my smear which is booked in for tomorrow. Everything seems to fall in the same couple of months so I had my mammogram, dentist, eye clinic, physio, STI and blood donation all done and dusted and everything AOK

Because certain STI can lead to complications if left untreated, that are far more expensive to deal with. The NHS would also far prefer people get tested frequently to prevent an outbreak from spreading, as that involves treating far more people, which is again a lot more expensive. | |||

"Also how many people use condoms for BJs or dental dams? Because yes, you can get STIs in your throat." Back in the 90s I remember condoms for BJs were a thing. But no-one had heard of dams back then. Not many know about them now! Shame sucking on latex is pretty unpleasant...I think asking to use them nowadays would be met with opposition to say the least. | |||

"I can't believe the purile comments & lame excuses some people are reeling off!!! Why do people on here feel the need to minimise the risk from having multiple sexual partners, or scoff at the suggestion of regular testing??? Most NHS trusts have multiple clinic times, often at more than one location. Mine does a postal service- I've just input my details, the pack will arrive in a few days & once I post it off, I usually get the results within a week. If you're having non monogamous sex, or have 1 partner who is non monogamous, you owe it to yourself & your partners to test regularly! Simples!! | |||

I did one back in November and it was quick and easy. The excuses are just terrifying, certainly makes me want to stay away from them. Maybe they feel like some sort of pride by not doing tests? Like a “it won’t happen to me” attitude? It’s just going to cause problems in the lifestyle if people refuse to test. | |||

so I'm in for my next in a few weeks.
Agreed better to get regular check ups than need intensive treatment. If it wasn't a good use of NHS resources, trust me, it wouldn't be funded. No way no how. | |||
