Where can I get 'tested'

[bituerbo]

Are there any clinics? Anywhere in town is fine with me, and I'd prefer to avoid the downtown area...
I don't "THINK" I have anything, I've just never been tested before, been boinking for a while... figure it's time.

Yeah to clarify, want to get checked for STD's.

[Super_Geo]

8th/8th... but it's downtown.

Your doctor can give you a sheet to get bloodwork done.

Most walk in clinics can do it.

[bituerbo]

Thanks guys. New to the city, don't have a Doctor. Actually since this new job I don't even have medical coverage... hmmm. I should set something up with Blue Cross.

[bituerbo]

Oh, do you need an appointment for 8th and 8th?

[EnRich]

No need for an appointment on 8th and 8th... been there done that. ask em for the swab, its fun.

[Pee_Sack]

Swab is no longer, you can now just give them a urine sample and they can collect any DNA they need from that.

[zieg]

^ why the fuck would they need DNA to test you for the clap? :P

Made me faint.

^^^^ hahahaha :werd:

[5hift]

the swab is long gone so dont let that deter you

[bituerbo]

Thanks again for all the info.
And jackasses makin' me scurred to go!

Maybe I'll just lie to the gf. "yep, came back clean!"

[Chris101]

Theres also the "new" clinic down south
31 Sunpark Plaza S.E.

Its usually my first stop the morning after a night at the Back Alley.

That's probably the dumbest and most inconsiderate thing you could do. I got the swab once and it wasn't nearly as bad as everyone said it was. I've also heard that yes you only need to pee in a cup and HIV work can be done with a blood sample.

[hussein]

How much does it cost?

[Envitro]

freeeeee

[h_s]

lost your virginity?? congrats

[bspot]

^ To a dirty prostitute apparently

[Hi-Psi]

IMHO anyone who says "boinking" is still a virgin :D

I'm just kidding......

But seriously, I'm not

I really should go get tested one of these days, I've been lucky and have only had pretty wholesome girls so I'm pretty sure I'm good to go but it's always good to check.

[Mar]

You need a note from your doctor to have it done, they will not accept you without that. I've had it done before.
And what's a swab?

[bmeier]

its a q-tip they shove in your pee hole and they still do the swab. You dont need a doctors note its a free clinic made specifically for this type of thing.

[mroseneder]

So which is it? They do the swab or you pee in a cup? You guys are gonna scare the poor guy off..

[bmeier]

you do both, the swab test for one thing the urine test for another.

[Toma]

I haven't been in 10 years... it WAS the swab... 2 actually, AND a pee....

[bmeier]

just look at this page

[bituerbo]

Thanks mbeier, informative... I saw the word swab... a few times... :ohnoes:

I've been sexually active for 6yrs now, less than 10 partners, and only ever had sex with one of those without protection - just taking some social responsibility I guess. Oh and I was joking about the whole 'lying to the gf thing'

You or the swab? ;)

[Whitetiger]

^^^ :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Mar]

What the hell? I never heard of any of these methods, I've had it done three times and each time it was a few viles of blood from my arm and I was on my way in a few minutes.

[GOnSHO]

the still use the swab.. haha they just dont stick it in... haha...

[Kona9]

WOW Beyond has been set to new limits.

Not only can you ask where to get a certain type of wheels or engine mod, you can also rely on Beyond for your local STD checkup location.

:rofl: :rofl:

The Swab best explained as...." A small Chihuahua on a stick that gets shoved into the center of your member while it nips away at what it hopes is a treat.. A treat that may warrant you about 16 pills to stop you from uncontrollably pissing your pants with small amounts of fire."

[7thgenvic]

hey its a filthy filthy world these days.....i would rather now know don't have something from fucking some dirty 18 year old... hahaha

GOLD!

[Chris88CL]

Travis is correct.

Its still a swab but they just wipe the tip. Doesnt go in your pee hole anymore (thank god). You also have to pee in a cup and last time I was there they took a drop of blood from my finger for a new HIV test.

[GOnSHO]

thanks for elaborating chris.. i couldnt think of the right words.. haha!!!

yea i had the test done about 2 months ago so its the most up to date test... i beleive..

[xxjessmicaxx]

guy testing sounds scary, a swab? yikes.

Oh ok.. i was thinking this was way worse

[codo]

I had one done about 6 months ago, cept my docotr sent me home with the swab and told me to stick it up my pee hole myself, it was less than pleasant, then I had to go in the clinic and do a urine and blood test.

[black_radiation]

so id like to go get tested just to make sure im still all good and clean, dont have many worries about it as im always pretty safe and I try to steer away from hooking up with random women if I can help it but its always in the back of my mind, so i never caught a definitive answer of where all the places you could go other than the one downtown. for instance the local medical clinic, would they be able to do the testing?

[EnRich]

^^^ Nope... they'll just send you to that special place. Who cares man, just go to the 8th and 8th one.... Their will always be plenty of ppl in the waiting room that will keep you company.

[black_radiation]

ahha awsome.... nothing like comparing std's eh?

[Alterac]

Get some phone #'s while your at it :)

[Chris88CL]

Trust me it could be worse. I WORKED at 8th and 8th when I had to get checked. Nothing like having your co-workers swab the end of your penis for ya :poosie:

[snowboard]

HAHA i looked for this thread forever
one of my freinds and i were fighting about this on the weekend lol

DO you get your man hood penetrated or what :cry:
I said no, going by the info from here, which who knows if its right or not.
He said yes.

Whats the fuckin verdict haha

[403Gemini]

Fuck the thought of the swab scares the fuck outta me!!!! seriously i cringe everytime i see that word mentioned in this thread hahaha

[omagedon]

Gawd dam! My doc told me to get HIV tested just a few days ago (haven't gone yet), then I stumbled onto this thread man (I shouldn't have done that).

So they dont use the swab anymore just on the tip of it right??

ok, HIV is tested from your blood sample, STD's are tested from urine and swab. When i went i only did urine and blood, no swab was asked. I guess you don't really need swab unless you get shit growing on your cock.

refer to this

http://www.calgaryhealthregion.ca/hecomm/std/STDclinic.htm#whatexpectvisit

And don't go to 8th and 8th, i had to wait 5 fucking hours.

[88CRXGUY]

I was there about a month ago and the swab was done for the std's. Now when it comes to the HIV I don't know what they do for that one, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to get it done anyways. Yes when you get the swab done is does go in the tip of your penis, its going to irritate for awhile but it will go away.

I'm sure for that every guy that has had the swab done it does make them cringe. Its better to get it done and know that your clean rather than not knowing that you could be spreading an incurable disease. It's a minor discomfort for a short period of time rather than having discomfort the rest of your life form not getting tested.
