"April me, Mr d march. Every 3 months, don't like it but it's necessary and peace of mind for myself and anyone who touches me. Not brave enough to say we swing but do tell em how many partners I've had." I tell them everything, I use it like seeing a counsellor, (though have to say when they ask how many i usually say more than ?) the GUM clinics are so relaxed..Not enough of them though i am told. Here in London there are plenty. | |||

They're very efficient at the clinic and very friendly too. | |||

"When playing I go every six weeks . I always play safe use condoms but not for oral and you can never be too sure. Fingers and tongues etc So every six weeks " This Is the same for us... But we go 3 weeks apart so it's a bit like being tested every 3 weeks. I got my all clear a week ago. | |||

"Bit naive ..... Quarterly check .... OMG! I get checked every 12 weeks.... I only practise safe sex anally but cause I suck without condom .... Your risk is as high as having unprotective full sex. Hence why the need for every 12 weeks. My last check was a fortnight ago with my results received last week - all clear glad to say..... But seriously we should all value our health and as you can see from the lies people put on their profiles... From age to size..... I take what people say with a pinch of salt " Can I just point out that 12 weeks is roughly quarterly... And oral is not the same risks | |||

Thanks, the woman on the phone was really off ish when I made the appointment which made me more nervous ! I guess its just telling someone exactly how many guys I've been with makes it sound so sordid | |||

"Usually it's only doctor who asks me that, I use drop in gum at local hospital, more relaxed especially just when they open You'll be fine hun, first time I went I was scared more than my first club visit" She didn't ask that on phone but was just quite rude, I know the Doctor will ask though Its at local hospital but they dont do walk in at the moment just appointments. I am more nervous than any meet.... were as safe as can be except no condom for oral. Thing is as embarrassing as it may be it would be a lot worse not going and eventually finding out I have an std x | |||

Be aware OP, it may be very thorough at some clinics. The Brum central clinic are very, thorough. I see both a Dr and a nurse and they do want details, when you had sex and what type of sex, the ethnicity and sexuality of your partner, was oral protected etc. I tried the 'no regular partner' angle but that wasn't enough detail! | |||

" I go every six weeks Seems a lot of others do It takes two weeks for anything to show so I see it as once a month sort of lol It's up to you how often you go compared to how often you play But I like to be safe and spend that half hour every six weeks lol | |||

" Oh they check things like that - if you use protection every time, if you are meeting high risk groups etc. The last time they asked when was the last time and the time before - but I imagine just trying to establish what kind of frequency. That's my point though - all they are doing is trying to establish what kind of risk level you are under so they can advise accordingly. They don't want to pry, they are just engaging in risk assessment, and you can tailor your answers accordingly to give them hard facts without subjective details. | |||

Oh I understand Just didn't want the OP to think they won't probe in detail as your previous message read, they most likely will, especially the first visit. I give blood so was well used to being asked if id had sex with bi men or men from different continents so that didn't phase me too much. Still too chicken to say I swing! | |||

" Which ironically might be the quickest way to give them all the information they need! But the person looked like they were worried about being asked 'How many men have you slept with in the past year?' and I have never been asked anything like that, I don't think it's particularly relevant. My impression is all they try to establish is if you are 'meeting new partners on a regular basis', if they are high risk, and how you are managing your own risk. Maybe things like whether or not they suggest HepB vaccination might be relevant to the number of partners, not sure?? I asked for one the other day, and didn't need a reason - but the nurse did want to establish that I was not asking because I had just done something very risky!! I fell short of saying 'I just saw a thread about it on a swingers site forum...' | |||

My clinic by the way does ask how many partners etc and what you did with each. they're rightly (as you eluded to earlier) assessing the risk and also trying to save money. Last time id had no anal so they skipped a couple of elements. I think it saves money for them. Maybe I'll get the kahunas next time to just say 'i swing, I do everything, hit me with every test please' They should have a 'swinger' button on the screen in the clinic. Often thought it would be great if they had swinger sessions for testing but I can imagine people having to turn a hose on the waiting room if it was a long wait. They could put a jacuzzi in them so we feel at home. | |||

" Haha, I can imagine.........well, it does sound like your place goes into an inordinate amount of detail, I would not like that at all. I am lucky in that I have a very gentle place in a semi-rural area to go to, it's way more pleasant than even my GP's surgery where the receptionists are very snotty! | |||

"[Removed by poster at 13/07/14 00:13:49]" 18th June and got the all clear texts about a week later. The nurse at the clinic was excellent and she also runs a monthly clinic at one if the local clubs, so totally aware of the swinging & club scene. I've always been 100% honest with them and never felt judged in anyway, in their line of work I doubt they are easily shocked by anything you might have got up too. Was recommended the Hep B vaccine & had my 1st one yesterday, so it's monthly visits for me over the next two months & lots of condoms every visit | |||
