FabSwingers.com forum: The 6th monthly STI reminder!

Down the back of the sofa.

It’s the 6th monthly reminder!

As we’re in a group of people that had more sex than others with different partners, we should have regular tests, it’s very much part of the ethical bit of enm!

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!

Some areas are different but there will be some provision! I believe free testing is every three months! I’ve got a few months to wait till my next test!

I personally have a kit waiting to use tonight!

That sucks

I know there’s a way of bodging an address to get a free test, I just don’t know the details!

It's been over 10 years and I'm still waiting for the clinic to come back to me with an appointment.

I’m gonna say a follow up call might be a plan…

Oh don't worry, I just make my sexual partners get tested after having sex with me so I know if I've picked anything up.

That’s a start but nothing is a substitute for personal testing as well!

I am not due to get one at the moment but it was your post last month that reminded me that I had ordered it but not done it.

Took me a bloody hour and 4 fingers to get enough blood but it came back clear

Thank you Mr Du Bois for these posts

Just done mine, I can’t say I did it though as I really don’t manage the blood test all that well, so I got a nurse friend to help me… with the blood test… this time!!!

Lots of different advice for how to get blood, for me I find windmilling my arm for a minute helps, also making sure you’re hydrated!

I test monthly. You can get test kits posted to you at home, send them off then get the results back by test. Quick n easy. To get the blood sample, yes, soak your hands in hot water for a minute then kind of milk the blood down your arm. Than the finger prick.

If you’re not on prep yet, maybe todays the day to take that forward as well? Much better safety record (for hiv only) than condoms

My last check was September 8th.

I tried the day before on a walk in clinic but they had hit their quota and I got an appointment the next day instead.

I haven’t ever taken the test due to being worried about a symptom but none the less always feel it’s a win when it comes back all clear #winning

I take it this is before you prick the finger? Otherwise.. Murder Scene.

That sounds a little bit like loving the door after the horse as bolted.

At least I guess they will know if they have caught anything from you...

Thank you for the reminder!

We stagger ours to try and keep the most accurate result but I'm due mine in the next 3-4 weeks so ordered now so it'll be ready!

Can someone please give me the secret to obtaining a good amount of blood from the pin prick?? I literally spend hours trying to squeeze a drop out!! It’s so frustrating

and then while I’m trying to milk my bruised fingertips the bloody vial topples over and any actual liquid splatters out! Honestly it looks like an episode of Saw! Ugh. My last one was inconclusive because of the quality of the blood sample… *cries

A knitting needle helps with the extraction of blood. ..

Soak your hands in warm/hot water first. Or have a bath. Then milk the blood down from the top of your arm to your fingertips in a warm room. Then prick your finger and collect

On prep so no reminder required…when down to last bottle tablets, it’s time to make the next test appointment

On a serious note though, everyone active in this game should get tested.. for everyone’s sake

Try keeping your hand in warm water for a while before doing the pin prick; also do it on your right hand.

Worked for me with doing my T level test (got next to nothing from my left hand)
