"First of all a Very Happy New Year to all you lovely people. Witn New Year resolutions very much to the fore and thinking about getting healthy and losing weight after our Christmas indulgences, it is important that we do not forget our sexual health as part of the regime. I was talking to my lovely Doctor at the clinic I attend to get an up to date opinion on how often we should get checked. She recommended every 3 months if you are having multiple partners (even if you are practising safe sex). So many people seem to think they are immune these days believing STDs are only caught by the gay community - well I am afraid this is not so. A male hetero sexual acquaintance of mine actually told me he did not need to have checks because he was not gay. Sad but true!! There is nothing better than great sex, and we can all indulge, but let's just make 2017 the year where we think about our sexual health as well as the fitness regime. Take care everyone. Michelle xxx" Well said. All up to date x | |||

"I need to shag to feel the need to get tested. When I was active I got tested every 3 months. Unfortunately my local clinic has made it clear that they will be cutting down the types of tests on offer so it looks like I'll just be getting the standard chlamydia/gonorrhoea tests next time I go." I have noticed that. Seems a bit short sighted. | |||

The clinic near mine decided it wasn't going to test if u had no symptoms etc ... and when I was slightly more active I couldn't deal with not knowing.. Normally I get tested every three months but when I am slightly more active it's more like every month. I just found that I have to lie to the clinic to get tested and I have probably exhausted all excuses. Not that I cared; I got tested and had peace of mind. | |||

By reducing the gap so much you've not given time for certain diseases to become detectable Hence why the clinic doesnt want to test you so frequently as its just pissing money up the wall | |||

"There's plenty of people who say they always get tested and use condoms etc but unfortunately they don't. There's few people who openly admit to not getting tested and who fuck strangers without protection. I know of lots peope men and women who frequently have unprotected vaginal and anal sex with strangers off internet sites and in real life meets too. I know of men who are on here who have anal sex and oral sex with other men but also have profiles on dating sites pretenting to be 100% heterosexual. This obviously is a massive concern and puts heterosexual people at just as much risk of Aids as people in the Gay community. The only way to be 100% sure of protecting yourself is to abstain from having sex with people you are not in a monogamous relationship with and even then you both have to be tested appropriately to make sure you are both completely disease free and to only have sex with each other. Otherwise it really is a game of chance as to when or if you contract a disease. Sadly some people are under the impression it only happens to other people and will never happen to them? The choice is yours of course as to what risks you are prepared to take. " I wonder how many partners of "single" fabbers consider themselves std free because they believe they are in a monogamous relationship. There really is no such thing as safe sex | |||

"People don't realise how easy it is to catch stds. Woman gives blow job to man nr 1. Man nr 1 has std. Woman gives blow job to man nr 2. She just infected man nr 2. Man has std. Touches his Penis with his hand while putting on condom. Touches woman with his hand. He just infected woman. Do your homework. Be safe.

SH24 is covered in our area too. Request the pack it arrives in discreet grey envelope. Do the swabs and bloods and send back and results texted back within a week. So Easy. No excuses not to do it. No embarrassment. No hassle. And you have a text to show you what been checked and to remind you when it was done. | |||

In addition, an HIV test only conclusively proves being negative 3 months prior to testing assuming no other risks in the meantime. An HIV test looks for antibodies which can take up to 3 months to appear. | |||

"i am going to be controversial and say I am a little disappoited by the people being significantly over-tested Ive just read multiple posts saying they go every 3 months wether they have been active or not and a few that said they go every 4 weeks ... at 4 weeks the incubation period for some of the things being tested for isnt even up yet ... and well if your not active I cant quite see the point! While I am all for being sensible about playing safe and being regularly tested ... In glasgow its so busy that you have to book an appointment around 5-6 weeks in advance unless you have symptoms and get an emergency appointment ... and now I am not surprised since it sounds like half the patients are overusing the service and being a wasteful drain on already over extended nhs resources If you are all playing as safe as you say (yes i know its not 100% safe its only SAFER but your odds are significantly reduced) then there shouldnt be any reason to go any more often than every 3 months unless you notice something abnormal Its like saying i brush my teeth twice a day everyday but i had an extra chocolate biscuit so i better go to the dentist tomorrow " we get tested every 4-6 weeks because that's what was recommended by the clinic.. in that space we could have met a lot of people... and even when we have only soft played that still means oral. Every 3 months would be no good to us as wouls be a lot of people in that space of time. | |||

One guy I was chatting to a while ago asked what I was up to one day, and after a bit of back and forth with him pushing to find out what I was up to, I told him that I was off to the clinic to get tested. He seemed quite shocked. I pointed out that I was just doing my usual routine check-up, but from his reaction (and subsequent vanishing act), it was obvious that he thought that I 'had something', which was why I was going. I get tested regularly and find the staff at the clinics very friendly and non-judgemental.

" I had similar to this too ... just chit chatting with a previous meet one day ... mentioned i was at the clinic for a check up and they freaked out and for weeks kept randomly texting to double check if i had anything (i never) ... from another conversation we had recently it became clear he never goes for regular check ups as his first experience of one recently was the nurses having a giggle at him for nearly being in tears about what turned out to be an ingrown hair ... Hopefully they also gave him a talking to about coming more often | |||

I get tested regularly and find the staff at the clinics very friendly and non-judgemental. We have a laugh and last Christmas I dropped off a tin of Heroes for them, coz I think they do a great job! " Unfortunately the majority of people who visit the clap clinic do so because they have symptoms of a sexually transmitted disease. This is what I have been told a by the doctors and nurses at the clinic. The sad truth is that only a small responsible percentage of people actually attend the clinic for check up purposes only. People are still under the impression that unless they notice any symptoms that they are disease free ? So by the time they realise that they have caught a disease or a serious life threatening illness like Aids etc . How many people will they have had had unprotected Oral vaginal and anal sex and infected? Some people still refuse to believe that serious sexual diseases like Aids always happen to other people and will never happen to them? Having sex without protection is akin to playing russion roulette. Its only a matter of time until your luck runs out and you cop for the bullet. The stupidity of these people beggers belief. What really pisses me off is men who have unprotected anal sex with other men on sites like this and others but they also have heterosexual profiles on dating sites so putting innocent heterosexual people at high risk too. In my opinion you really cant be too careful when it comes to protecting yourself when having sex. Truth is you just do not know someones true sexual history and sexual health! | |||
