STI Check - Procedure?

LegacyUser

can someone tell me what getting STI checks for a lad entails?

I have heard claims that they stick a needle down your japs eye???

Is this true? I want to get tested but don't want that

They don't use a needle but they do swab it.

In any case, it's worth getting tested.

is there anyway around having a swab inserted into my penis? I dont have any reason to suspect i have an std but I do sleep with a lot of women so I'd like to be sure

!!!

I want to do this too. Apparently it is literally two seconds and the thought of it is much, much worse than the procedure.

They usually take your blood for HIV test, swab down your japs eye to test for clamydia, swab the back of your throat and they may do other tests depending on your sexual preferences! You will need to get the swab down your japs eye otherwise they cant really test you for much. Its not as bad as it sounds. If your doctor is any good he/she will be in and out in 2 seconds. Your GP can do all of these tests you dont have to go to STI clinic.

Its a routine questioning of your sex life (bit odd having a 50 odd year old female doctor asking if you practice anal sex tbh, its like talking to your mam) a blood test, urine sample and swab, the swab sounds worse than it is, its not even sore just a bit of an odd feeling, that old tale of sticking an umbrella like device into your knob and dragging it out is bull**** of the highest order, the nurses do this dozens of times a day so it doesnt hurt at all

The swab isn't bad at all, it's literally a two second job. It's important because they have to swab inside your japs eye to check for chlamydia.
Everything else is just the doc giving the head of your penis the once over to check for the usual signs of a STI. It is isn't bad at all. I got myself checked there last week.

I also have been meaning to do this and will be doing it soon. This may sound like I am joking but somebody once remarked about getting tested for STD's and had to get erect? I assume this is not actually the case right?

If its anything like when I got tested it'll be by a 50 something nurse with hands as cold as ice even under rubber cloves in a room with unbelievabley harsh light, with a surgery light pointing at your knob, if you manage to get erect for that you sir are a champion:D

It is two minutes of your life. Blood taken for HIV testing and then a couple of swaps.

Worth having done and no discomfort for women and from my other half he was fine after too.

If I were you I would rather have that done than let something progress and have it frozen off your friend!!

What's involved for women getting tested btw?
