    Everyone should get it done. I've been in some bars where they do free blood tests. Unorthodox, but I like it.

    Which bars are these?

    They sound like great craic.

    Had it done a couple times, my first time I got it was in James's hospital, I was just sitting in the waiting room I was pretty nervous after some of the stories I heard then 2 prison guards one handcuffed to some little scumbag walked in, that just gave me the creeps, I no he was probably sharing a needle but I kept thinking he got bummed in prison, anyway got the all clear thank god

    Yes. All clear. The swab thing is on the tip of your penis, not an issue. Maybe the person doing it was inexperienced?

    It's good to get checked regularly.

    I thought they seemed needlessly rough with that in my case. Perhaps people might share places they got it done without possibly undue distress involved.
    I won't mention where I went because I'm criticising them, but it was not any of the places mentioned on this thread.

    No, the swab is supposed to go into the urethra. Just just inside the tip not on the tip.

    The needle in the jap's eye was always a turn off. If they don't do that anymore, I may consider one.

    I always wear a condom. I wouldn't want to put anyone's life at risk. Don't judge me because I don't want a needle in my japs eye.

    I had the swab done a few years ago,and while i didnt look at it being done it did and still does scare the shit out of me,i went to the doctor a couple of weeks ago for another test and thankfully he said they only need blood and urine samples now.

    But the only std i ever had was genital warts,and im telling you it aint nice how they remove them!

    Even with condoms things can make it through in other sexual activities. No judgement, just disbelief.

    My balls are swolen. Oh well at least now they can both fit into my moth's mouth at the same time :p

    So they're still incredibly tiny?

    Unless you have some kind of giant mutant pet moth.

    Also, obligatory mothballs joke.

    yep got one done a few years ago at St James, 100% clean :D, always good to keep yourself checked out.
    will be heading again in the next month, always better to be safe in that area tbf :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,327 ✭✭✭Sykk


    Yes... Umbrella down the japs :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,137 ✭✭✭44leto


    The swab isn't that bad, it a tiny sting I mean less then a needle in the arm.

    The way people are talking about it here you would swear they are chopping the top of your knob off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,114 ✭✭✭Pdfile


    nope :pac:


  • Site Banned Posts: 1,678 ✭✭✭Andy!!


    Swab was a few years ago, just blood and urine now, and they'll take a grope of your sack if ye let on ye don't know how to check it.

    Never had the swab, i've heard the horror stories from the brother and a few lads, doesn't sound pleasent/

    Where the hell did they put it? Up the japseye? **** sake!

    Just inside the eye, it really is not that bad, absolutely nothing to put me off.

    I only had to pay for postage in my local GPs.

    Do they still make you wait a week, in that week the imagination runs, it definitely persuades you into only practising safe sex.

    Here, they give everyone an AIDS test when they first visit the doctor. They poke your finger tip with a needle, and dip it in some liquid to see if it changes colour. Takes about 30 seconds. So I don't know what these places which take 2 weeks are doing.

    They arn't only testing for HIV syphilis gonorrhoea callidnya 9spelling) etc.

    What colour does it change to, out of interest?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,635 ✭✭✭xsiborg


    what is this about cotton buds, and swabs and needles in the eye of the penis? :rolleyes:

    it's a tiny, tiny like scraper spoon, like the ones they use in chemistry to get the powder out of test tubes, goes just inside the eye of the penis and as has previously been posted, you seriously dont even feel it two minutes later, it's like as if you want to scratch yourself to get rid of the irritation but you know you cant.

    i've been having STI tests done regularly for years simply as part of my regular health checkup and its not nearly even a fraction as dramatic or as painful as some posters are making out here.

    last time i went now a couple of weeks ago the nurse didnt use the sample scraper, just took a blood sample from my arm and a urine test, i asked about the scraper and she said they dont need to do that any more. as minidazzler said though, some places still use it, and it's NOT the worst thing in the world ffs! :rolleyes:

    christ we all talk about modern ireland and getting away from the catholic way of thinking, etc, but going by some of the posts in this thread you would swear some posters were still stuck back in ignorant old ireland! :rolleyes:

    I think that might be an iron test.

    been tested a few times, its nothing, I cant fathom why anyone who's sexually active wouldnt get tested one a year or so just to be sure.
