A lot of people don't want to know! Every time the subject of testing comes up on here, you see some idiotic 'opinions' that contradict the fundamentals of probability!

It's just another one of those things on fab.

You'll always get different responses. The ones that do, the ones that "say" they do, the ones claiming to get checked every two weeks etc.

The most important thing is that you make sure you look after your own sexual health.

The only 100% safe sex, is no sex.

I completely agree with that it baffles me some time when I meet ladies on pof and they are reluctant using condoms which I say unless I wrap it I am not putting it in

When I was regularly meeting I did it 3 monthly. I have been seeing only one since November and did a test anyway about a month or so ago just in case as I know some can take a while to show up!

Tend to go about every 2 months. Results come back quite quickly here actually. Last one took 5 days which isn’t bad. I don’t think it’s a lot to ask to get checked up for your own health and well-being if anything

No he didn’t tell me before hand... they just invited me to their place with no expectation of sex. It was the wife’s first time.

When he asked me ... I was taken back a little but in the moment I agreed.

I can’t fault the guy for asking .. he is protecting his wife and himself. It was just something I never encountered before.

We get tested every 8-12 weeks no matter what. Knowing your own status is just good piece of mind. We'd be happy if there was a section on the profile for this.

I quite like it as an idea, the tests i found online were limited in scope though. I actually thought it was more useful as a filter, since riddled people aren't usually the most clued up on tests (hence why they end up riddled). But i think he should have shown more respect by telling you in advance. Or maybe it was just a matter or being organised.

I'd answer if i could spell the fucking names. But put it this way, they don't test for HPV or Herpes so there's always that risk.

I thought for this to be effective it was recommended that vaccinatio n was given before girls became sexually active.

Do they give this to adults in your area? Is it free cos i know the vaccines cos £100 a go.

Here are the "standard 6':

Chlamydia

Gonorrhoea

Trichomonas

HIV (I, II, P24 antigen)

Syphilis

Hepatitis B

But some tests seem to cover more or less. So when someone says they're regularly tested I'm really not sure what that means?

It’s so easy now , we used to have to go to the clinic , but they send us the kits now . Swabs , a pin prick and send them off . Inexcusable for anyone who’s sexually active with different people not to do this .

What gets me more than anything is the amount of swingers who still think using condoms for fucking makes them safe !

This is what one kit provider says:

I asked at the clinic this week, they said they don't bother testing for herpes because most people would show positive (e.g. coldsores) rather than genitals looking like a radish patch

The standard 6 are not generally done for someone presenting at clinic with no symptoms.

For someone without symptoms and/or contact you will usually get tested for:

Chlamydia

Gonorrhoea

HIV

Syphillis

Via self swab for a woman or urine for a man and blood tests. It isn't standard practice to do throat and rectal swabs but swingers should ask for throat swabs

Clinics can test for a multitude of STIs but will usually involve a more invasive test and examination as well as more bloods taken

Personally, I think everyone should get tested. Its easy to know your status and not care. IMHO, If you don't want to put a condom on, go and play on your own. That's my opinion. While we all love bareback action, its all too easy to get lost in the moment, however, its about protecting yourself and everyone you play with.

I get tested every 3 months and yet recently I managed to get an Sti. I still have no idea how but it proves it's possible even when careful.

Thankfully mine was treatable but I can't recommend testing enough. None of us should be passing things on!

I have yet to read or hear in 10 years of swinging... someone say “ I don’t know if I’m clean , but I want to have sex with you anyway “

100% of the time the answer is “ I go and get tested every month - 3 months and I’m clean “

I keep pictures in a folder on my phone of all my test results. Going back the last three years. I get tested twice a year

No, of course people won't be honest with you if that's your attitude. We'd ask why they don't go and whether they are willing to go in future (i.e before we meet them).

Twice a year isn't a lot.

I think realistically every 12 weeks is far more sensible. I do mainly to ensure the pill I'm on is correct and to score free condoms as I'm allergic to latex and buying them can be pretty expensive

Oh in America going to the doctor isn’t free....

I pay $25 every time I walk into my doctors office. My insurance will only pay a percentage of any test taken. If they deem it as being excessive like 2 full panel HIV/sti test in 1 calendar year. They will reject the doctors claim and I am stuck with paying 100% of the bill.

If I go to a free clinic... they will ask for Identification and after finding out I have health insurance. They will put the claim through my insurance because the free clinic is for people without health insurance.

So it’s much easy for people in the UK to be tested more frequently... it’s free

Oh in America going to the doctor isn’t free....

So it’s much easy for people in the UK to be tested more frequently... it’s free"

Dentists are free and yet British people still have bad teeth, don't they

But some tests seem to cover more or less. So when someone says they're regularly tested I'm really not sure what that means? ...

And here's the long list:

Chlamydia

Gonorrhoea

Trichomonas

HIV (I, II, P24 antigen)

Syphilis

Hepatitis B

Gardnerella

Mycoplasma

Ureaplasma

Herpes Simplex

Herpes Simplex II

NHS Gum clinics are not testing for half of those

That's what I was thinking ... so are people paying privately (about £250) to get this done?

Porn stars are. Half of swingers aren't even going to the bloody NHS clinic

If every swinger went ever 3 months and got tested the NHS would be bankrupt....

So I know most people are just bull shitting

Really? Swinging is still very much a sub-culture

I have yet to read or hear in 10 years of swinging... someone say “ I don’t know if I’m clean , but I want to have sex with you anyway “

100% of the time the answer is “ I go and get tested every month - 3 months and I’m clean “

I keep pictures in a folder on my phone of all my test results. Going back the last three years. I get tested twice a year

Not really.... the Brit’s I work with have perfect teeth.... but don’t go out to meal with them and have them pay. They don’t tip the staff enough .

We are big tippers in the USA

Do you mean screenshots of texts from your phone? Not sure why people would trust them as they are anonymous and don't give details as to even say they relate to STI tests.

Testing is only relevant if a couple are tested at the same time and are monogamous. As soon as one sets foot out the monogamous relationship that test becomes invalid . You are only clear from the day of the test results .

A list of test results are only as good as the date they were taken.... in some cases up to 3 months prior to testing, so unless someone is abstinent for that amount of time they cannot be 100% of being risk free, particularly if they have been practicing bareback sex.

Sorry but that's factually incorrect. You're in a 0 or 100% mentality, risk is about probability.

So you only play when it's 100% risk free?

No, not at all..... I am just getting across that a lot of people assume that because they have tested negative they are risk free...... Sex is not 100% risk free

If you choose this lifestyle of course it’s not risk free . But I stick by what I said test become invalid the day someone else is introduced into the mix . This thread isn’t about me it’s about people’s thoughts and attitude to testing

We get tested first Monday of every month. We don’t have that many meets but we do it out of routine. Plus beards has to have his blood taken every month so he gets extra checks.

But just because someone says they are checked and healthy doesn’t mean they are so it’s always best to be safe.

I clearly don’t understand your take on probability . I assess risks in my everyday work life thus reducing the probability .

Some people don't get tested at all. So do you really think that there is no relevance to the risk factor between someone who has a test 3 months ago and someone who has never had a test?

Non whatsoever simply because the person tested 3 months ago could have sex with the person whose never been tested . You can edge your bets by regular testing I agree but you are only in control of your own sexual behaviour.

Thank you. I rest my case. Don't feel bad about it, most people have a terrible grasp of probability.

Did you know you can walk into any NHS sexual health clinic in england doesnt have to be your local clinic and it will be completely anonymous.

You dont have to give your real name, age, doctors or any actual personal details that are real . Youre given a "patient" number.

You call up to check results are in, clean results youre told over the phone. Positive results youll be asked to go in to discuss them

My rule of thumb, treat everyone as if they have an std myself included, stds can take a while to show up, so you can have negative results but not be.

Id say the worst part will be explaining to the people youve had sex with you have an std.

The sooner they get tested the better. Otherwise its swings and roundabouts of reinfection of curable infections or worse spreads around like wild fire and in this life style it can reach nationwide from a single outbreak.

Using a condom is being responsible

I am bi/gay and i am part of the NHS PrEP trail as such i have to be tested very 3 months as part of the trail.

in reality i get tested about every 6 weeks as i am bareback only as condoms make me sore when i get fucked. as to fucking well i have nerve damage to my back and have problems coming when i am not using a condom - hence i am bareback only.

yes there is risk but guys just using a condom for fucking are still taking a risk - on a routine screening i tested positive for gonorrhea in my throat - i had no symptoms.

The ones that rely on statistics worry me. They clearly think they are somehow safer than everyone else when in reality they are deluded.

"Condom broke couple of weeks and now I have been tested twice lol I cannot think how bare back folks deal with metal stress "

You have to wait 2 weeks after a bareback incident - including a condom splitting or coming off - before you get tested as that’s how long the incubation period is for many std’s!

It can be a difficult two weeks - plus waiting for the results - and I agree I’d be a nervous wreck if I had loads of bareback sex! X
