Hey guys, I'm married but got exposed to a girl that might not be as clean as she let on when my condom broke. Is there any place that does testing for cash without asking for I'd? I setup an appointment for planned Parenthood next week in Whittier using a sudonym but they're saying I'll still a valid picture I'd. Obviously I don't have that nor do I want to give my I'd because I know the health dept sends a letter to your address if you're positive for anything based on a previous positive. At the moment, if I have anything, only I have it so want to test and treat on the down low before getting with my wife again.

I heard there was a place in Hollywood that did "no questions asked: STI testing. I forgot the name of the location.

Good luck.

One is stdcheck.com. I have used them. They refer you to a third party lab. I paid in cash and there was no paperwork at the lab. I did have to provide my name online to sign up, but that information is secure and confidential. Results are delivered via email from the lab. I know that medical providers in California are legally required to report positive STD results to the county, but are you sure that the county will actually send a letter to your house? I can't find anything about that online. Can you, or anyone else confirm? If the county is legally mandated to notify you at your residence, then there is likely no way around it aside from a P. O. Box. I mean, how could the lab even deliver your results if they don't know your name, don't have you phone number, email address, etc?

It was free and I said what the heck might as well check myself out. There was a questionnaire asking about sexual activity and such but anonymous. I just can't remember if I needed to provide I'd or not. I believe they still do free HIV testing at certain locations. Think I went to a location on Sunset either in Hollywood or Echo Park. You can check their site out for testing locations.

Obviously I didn't learn my lesson, but anyways, I tested positive, hospital gave me my meds and I got a nice little letter from painter St saying the adults at home had to call them to ensure they understood what was happening to me and if we didn't call that they would pay a visit.

Out of state monger looking toward Monger Mecca for some help.

First off, does anyone know a monger who is a doctor?

Reader's digest version. Oh shit moment late April 2022. Proceed to STDheck.com around day 10 post "oh shit". I was hoping for something "easy" gonorrhea or chlamydia but turns out all tests negative except Cold Sore. Missed the 3 month recheck for confirmation testing. Approaching 150 days post "oh shit" and I started experiencing some symptoms all of which point to something nasty. I just did testing all over again expecting the worst but again everything negative except Cold Sores.

My first thought, probably a waste of time but tomorrow I have a telehealth call with an STDcheck.com doctor. I'll see what he says about my symptoms. But he just thinks I'm calling about a cold sore consultation.

At this point my only plan is to go to ER and see what happens. One I'm thinking how can I be that unlucky of a monger to actually catch something and on top of that have a false negative at 150 days. Two thinking Lab Corp / STDcheck is jacked and results are somehow wrong. Or Three I'm thinking maybe my symptoms can be explained as something else (hopefully not sex related) although I can't find anything online to calm me down.

You are a veteran, you get some cred from us here. I presume you have a SO so you can't be public about your dilemma? I have used STDcheck, I have only ever gotten their regular panel. They always try to upsell you the chlamydia test (and some others too, I think). Did you get really everything everything? If you did all that, well, I don't think you have an alternative but the doc.

I find stdcheck a great place to use. I pay with a prepaid debit card, in advance when the test is booked, and I use only sugar identity information. The paperwork I bring in has my fake info on it, and I have no trouble just handing them that. No drivers license required (unlike what my bowl brother Fiat said.

I have also, at times, had weird shit. A couple of times, w / married women supposedly who hadn't had sex w / another man in years, I got a gut parasite, presumably from DATY (and she wasn't as clean as she needed to be), which needed Flagyl to fix. I had upper and lower GI distress. This had to be dealt with through my primary care.

I have also had just a vague irritation of junior, not really painful urination. I got the bacterial test strips at my pharmacy girls use to diagnose a UTI, that was negative. I tried putting a little of the anti-fungals for yeast infections for girls on the urethra. No real benefit. It might have been prostatitis. I discussed this w / my urologist (who I see only rarely, and I would not want to see too often, that could raise suspicion w / the SO), he didn't have any definitive answers.

BTW, I love my urologist, he sells out of his office generic sildenafil at $1/ pill for 100, I just have to be careful not to get it on the same visit as I have a real medical appointment. If I just walk-in to the office, I can get the pills, I pay cash, they give me zero balance paperwork I toss on my way out of the building.

Even though I'm pretty sure there are doctors out there that have hooked up with escorts. But they won't discuss / admit it to anyone because it could mess up their professional reputation if it got out.

And you said cold sores not sore. I get one small cold sore every few years on my lip. Usually from me not watching my hands touching my lip by accident and not being completely clean hands. They are not from sexual contact.

So where do you have these cold sores? What are your symptoms? Flu season is soon and it may be just that.

Stress can cause them. Doctor will probably give you valtrex and have you retest.

Hey, thanks for the replies.

So I initially had vague feelings in junior back in April which prompted me to get tested. Full STDcheck.com 10 test panel with HIV antibody / antigen test and trichomoniasis. All negative. I bring up the Herpes 1 (cold sore) as at least that showed the tests did their job. I'm relieved and go about my life planning on testing in 3 months as recommended. So 3 months past and I procrastinated a little. About a week ago (nearing 5 months now) I started feeling shit in my feet and hands. Warm and tingly. Then at times hands and feet feel cold. Ok, I'm pushing 45, maybe just getting older, etc, etc. At this time I just happened to have a physical with my primary doc. I didn't bring up std but he did all normal physical exam blood work, testosterone, inflammation, etc. It was like 8-10 different test panels. No abnormal blood work, no inflammation, etc.

So then I figure I better get back on STDcheck.com. I set up the tests again all same as first and also included urinalysis, complete blood count with differential, and comprehensive metabolic panel. Again, everything negative except the cold sore Herpes 1 and all other bloodwork fine. Next symptom. I'm in Chicago area and by this time my farmer's tan is fading on my head and back of my neck. So earlier this week the back of my neck fading farmer's tan is red and warm like I just got sun burn. Took some benedryl and won't go away.

Lame STDcheck telehealth doctor didn't call this morning. So I guess planning on trying ER. More expensive but hopefully they'll be better than an Urgent Care. Went to Urgent Care once for something else and it was a waste of time. The only other is going back to my doctor and spill the beans. Making up some story other than mongering. Open marriages are more common these days. I figure I'll say me and the SO took a break since we've been together for so long and started seeing others for a bit.

Did you eat raw fish leading up to that infection?

Also, good to know that you just give STD check rigged papers LOL. I will have to try that. One thing though, how to you handle the online registration? It asks for an address. P. O. Box?

But he just thinks I'm calling about a cold sore consultation..IDK what you mean by 'cold sore' - do you have a cold sore, really? Or do you just have a positive on HSV-1, which is the virus that causes cold sores??

You should know that even though STDcheck tests for it, HSV-1 isn't really a STD. You can get it from kissing or drinking from a cup that hasn't been well washed, or a thousand different other ways. The US has about 70% of people who are seropositive with it. Obviously, that is higher prevalence than any other of those diseases. I think that STDcheck puts alarms on positives for HSV-1 so they can upsell you.

I happen to be + for HSV-1, and I have never had any symptoms. No cold sores, nothing, ever. If you have an active cold sore, you presumably are contagious, if your girl has one, likewise. If you happen to be one of the minority who isn't seropositive, in such situations, I'd recommend abstaining. Not everyone is as lucky as me in having an asymptomatic infection.

I recommend consulting the CDC website for good information about all these diseases. You can find demographic info also about what the prevalence of other things you might worry more about. That is, what age and race of girls have the most infections with all the different buggies. I personally find that information useful, there are several types of girls I would never touch even with full protection (which I always use) because of what I learned there.

Why don't these testing places ever seem to check for the hepatitis and HPV? Aren't they STDs?There is no reliable HVP test for men. Honestly, we all have it. Just cross your fingers you don't have a strain that causes warts or cancer. You can be tested for hep through certain places.

Why don't these testing places ever seem to check for the hepatitis and HPV? Aren't they STDs?They are but you're more likely than not to already have been vaccinated for HPV, and if you aren't then idk what to tell you.

Also I believe hepatitis b is the more serious one, I could be wrong on that, check for yourself. If they aren't testing for it then maybe see if nobody tests for it or it is just the clinic that you're going to, idk. Hep is preventable (I think) with a condom and HPV is relatively harmless, not only do most people have it but you also probably got the shot as a baby.

Why don't these testing places ever seem to check for the hepatitis and HPV? Aren't they STDs?They are Stds. I've always gotten hep tests as standard so not sure why you're not getting that with your testing. With HPV the real reason is twofold. You can only get tested when you're symptomatic as there is no way to detect it without a wart or lesion being sampled. It's worth knowing that the CDC and WHO agree that the stigma of having either HPV (causes genital warts) or HSV (causes herpes) is worse than the actual disease. Meaning having genital warts isn't as bad as being known as the guy with genital warts. If you arent already, you could get vaccinated for the HPV virus. It's super effective against all but 2 strains (dr. Google check that number) and once you get HSV you can keep it undetectable with an affordable medicine.

I have posted recently in another thread about the service I use. It is anonymous, costs $150. I get both hepatitis tests, all the bacteria, and the bad viruses. Go find my post for an informative treatise.

I personally can't get the HPV shot (Gardasil), I am too old. It is only for people up to about 40 I think. I always ask POTs at the M&G if they had the shot. Since it is a way to avoid getting throat cancers that can be HPV (I. E. , Michael Douglas), it allows me to bring up how much I want to DATY them.

I can only speak for myself, of course, but I've had no trouble at all in 2023. I think the k-girls who allow BBFS are doing something — taking antibiotics or using some powerful pussy cleanser — that reduces the threat. It probably doesn't eliminate the threat, but whatever they are doing, it seems to be working well. I fully expect to get hit at some point, since it's a numbers game.

In my younger days, it happened and, oh well, I'd just go to the doctor, get some pills, and sideline myself for a couple weeks. But these days, I've been pretty lucky when it comes to k-girls and their magical little kitties.

Does anyone know the answer? What are they doing to protect themselves (and us)?

They changed the policy last year and I paid out of pocket. Protects against all HPVs that cause warts and cancer. I know 2 or 3 years ago when I asked there was an age limit but that's changed.

Because for example Gardasil9 protects against 9 strains of HPV (6, 11,16, 18,31, 33,45, 52, and 58). Some cause warts, some cause cancer. 99% of cervical cancer (which is often fatal) comes from HPV. You can definitely get multiple HPV viruses.

I frequent only kgirls. I believe I might have caught syphilis. I have developed rashes all over my body. I went to a doctors and they believe it is secondary syphilis so I might have already had it for 2 months already. I'm still waiting for the full panel result to come back but doctor already give me two shots to treat the syphilis. HIV test is negative. I believe I saw someone post they also had syphilis around like 2 months ago on here. Dealing with the symptoms is not fun right now, and they told me it likely takes 2 weeks for the rash to go away. They told me that syphilis initially have some small symptoms and then it goes away for a bit and comes back with rashes. So people may not know they even have it. I hope you guys take care of yourself because I think this thing is floating around us. Also, they told me even after I am cured, my test result for syphilis will keep showing up positive. I don't know how I will be able to participate in this hobby if that happens.

I've never tested positive for anything, but after trying a cheaper one-off bareback place a few years back my dick was really weird for a while. Like sore, inflamed and itchy.

I have used STDcheck and the experience was very good. 10 panel test only cost $139. No I'd required which means you could use a fake name. Received the result in 3 days. A.

I frequent only kgirls. I believe I might have caught syphilis. I have developed rashes all over my body. I went to a doctors and they believe it is secondary syphilis so I might have already had it for 2 months already. I'm still waiting for the full panel result to come back but doctor already give me two shots to treat the syphilis. HIV test is negative. I believe I saw someone post they also had syphilis around like 2 months ago on here. Dealing with the symptoms is not fun right now, and they told me it likely takes 2 weeks for the rash to go away. They told me that syphilis initially have some small symptoms and then it goes away for a bit and comes back with rashes. So people may not know they even have it. I hope you guys take care of yourself because I think this thing is floating around us. Also, they told me even after I am cured, my test result for syphilis will keep showing up positive. I don't know how I will be able to participate in this hobby if that happens.Hope you a speedy recovery. Not many of us take precautionary test, and I hope everyone tests regularly to protect yourself and your significant others. Thanks for being a responsible monger.

BBFS or not, none of these kgirls know what Prep is. Majority of them even don't get tested regularly. Remember these kgirls are not from the US.Most of them aren't even on birth control either.

You should seriously get yourself some quality facts and advice from a professional.

PREP is a drug regimen that is aimed at preventing HIV transmission. It does nothing concerning any other STD, including other incurable viral diseases.My doctor at county health has been trying to convince me to get on DoxyPrep. I'm considering it more so now. DoxyPrep is supposedly very effective against syphilis, chlamydia, and gonorrhea.

DoxyPrep is supposedly very effective against syphilis, chlamydia, and gonorrhea.Yes this is fairly new but proven to be quite effective. Some may argue overdoing it may lead to antibiotic resistance but it's worth it to research, look at the statistics, and decide for yourself. The good thing is that it is prescribed to be taken within few days of BBFS so lets say you see more than one provider in that span of time I would assume one dose is sufficient as prescribed. PrEP for HIV is something else entirely and that pill needs to be taken daily, and if you request the shot that's every few months I believe.

They are probably all on Prep and take breaks whenever they catch something.

I've never tested positive for anything, but after trying a cheaper one-off bareback place a few years back my dick was really weird for a while. Like sore, inflamed and itchy.Interesting. How long did that last? I noticed my urine is much more "bubbly" LOL but could be supplements I take as well as diet.

Doxycycline is not new at all. It was approved by the FDA in the 1960's.You're right that doxycycline itself is not new. But what they were referring to is using it as an emergency post exposure preventative known as DoxyPEP. CDC just released guidelines for it this past October so it's fairly new. From what I can gather, in combination with a regimen of PrEP, it's very effective in preventing Chlamydia and Syphilis but less so with Gonorrhea. My take is that any new measures we can take to protect ourselves is a good thing. As mongers, we are one of the key high-risk groups that greatly benefit from this. I highly recommend any active monger to start PrEP and DoxyPEP if you already haven't. It bears mentioning again that the first monger dollars you spend should be on you and your health.

It's extremely uncommon for men to contract HIV through vaginal intercourse.True, the chances of contracting HIV via penetrative vaginal intercourse is very low. But it's still there. Moreover, at least in the kgirl world, a good subset are now allowing MFM and greek further increasing the risk. Whether someone decides to take precautions is out of my hands and is based on their own risk tolerance and world view on the subject.

Here's my perspective, I get into a car every day to go to work, to do errands, to travel, etc. The chances of getting into a car accident is relatively low but it's a possibility. Therefore, I always buckle my seat belt. When there is something that can prevent or at least mitigate a large portion of life changing (for the worse) consequences, then I see no reason not to take advantage of it. I have no qualms about taking a pill day and a couple of capsules after each sexual encounter to give me that peace of mind.

Good push for me to finally just do it. I already test regularly (a quick search for free STD testing in LA city and LA county turns up a good list of places). It was super easy to get tested (for free woot) within the past week — a comprehensive STD panel. I got schooled on DoxyPEP and PrEP (Truvada was what they had ready to go) and will start immediately. Also for some reason I thought I had aged out of being able to get the HPV vax, but was able to get the first round of shots for that, too.

My Primary Care Physician had a poster for the HPV shot so I innocently asked him if I should get it. He said "since you're over 40 and monogamous it's completely unnecessary. It's for young, sexually active people. " So I said "okay, good" and dropped it. I'm assuming that the ladies I see, being young sexually active people, have all had the shots. Right? Right?

Right?The age "limit" is actually 45 I believe, but at that point it is a rather gray area since everyone has a different level of risk and different level of sexual activity. If you are under 50 I would recommend getting a second opinion. This is not medical device and I am not a physician but if I were you I would consider getting it for clarity sake. And yes, females are advised to get it at a much younger age and if they receive medical care in the states then it can be comfortably assumed they are vaccinated. That is, if they are not anti-vaxx etc. Hence my reasoning why you can't put a price on comfort and if you are vaccinated nothing to worry about.

I liken the practice of regular STD screening, PrEP, DoxyPEP, and Guardisil as driving with auto insurance vs no auto insurance, ignoring the legal requirement.

You can monger by the seat of your pants and accept the risk of not doing the above. Or you can insulate yourself by creating a preventative wall to infection by various degrees if a bug is out there. Also, at the bare minimum, you get results early on even if you're asymptomatic and can get treated right away. On the other hand, you might have a ticking time bomb festering inside you being none the wiser.

It's clear as day what I would do. Imagine if only 50% (only pulling this number out of my ass) of mongers seeing the same girls as you follow this practice. All the more reason to begin protecting yourself cause others won't.

I don't think this is so. All of the public health publicity I have seen advocates for males and females equally. Anyone who knows anything about public health realizes that the greater penetration of immunization into the vulnerable population, the greater effect. What is interesting is that the earliest age they are pushing for is something like 10 years old. It is a reflection of their facing reality I would say, that some people are becoming sexually active at those ages.

Anyway, the only plus males have is that we can't get cervical cancer, but we benefit in many ways from the population we're engaging with sexually being vaccinated (including ourselves). If I were young enough to get the shot and could do so discreetly, I would. I am up to date on all the hepatitis vaccines, and one of the ways you can get those diseases is as STIs. I usually try to go w / classier gals that you would not expect to have those, but you can never be sure.

Okay so I have had multiple first hand experience with this with family so I'll lay out the facts. Years ago, ONLY teenage girls could get Gardasil. Believe me, medical professionals told me that to my face and to make sure they weren't lying I looked it up and confirmed it. That's 100% fact. I suppose there were limited supplies back then. Then they realized how stupid and unscientific this was and opened it up to teenage boys (again, I confirmed this multiple times at the time). Finally, they opened it up to adults but ONLY 45 and over unless you get an exemption. I asked for an exemption back then, but I was close anyways. I had to ask twice before my doctor agreed. I paid out of pocket.

It doesn't matter what makes sense to you or I, he is 100% accurate as far as it being recommended only for young girls originally (this was years ago, it is no longer true). It made no sense to me, but keep in mind they decide these things the same way they originally said only immunocompromised people should wear N95 masks against Covid (in order to avert a mask shortage). It was BS then but they had to say that to avoid a shortage for doctors. I don't agree but I acknowledge there was some logic behind it however flimsy. The same thing happened with Gardasil and the fear of running out. No longer an issue though.

The age "limit" is actually 45 I believeSo I can confirm 100% first-hand that while there is an age limit of 45, you can simply ask for an exemption. I did that. I had to ask my doctor twice before she gave it to me. If you are much younger than 45, you may have to explain that you are exposed to a lot of pussy. The moment you say that you can look away briefly and they will quickly approve you because anyone under 45 can get it if they are immuno-compromised or have a "reason". But they are hesitant if you give no reason at all.

So assuming how old you are, you may or may not have already gotten it. Yes agreed it's always good to have.

I think the gray area comes with coverage or paying out of pocket. Regardless it would be worth it to pay cash in my opinion, again depending on each person's circumstance. I do not believe there is a way to test if you have had HPV or have been vaccinated (aside from records). But the issue is that once you do find out you "have it", it may have already manifested to a form of cancer or symptoms that are otherwise not treatable.

She assumed I was monogamous and not being exposed to lots of pussy. I wasn't about to correct her so simply said I play to live a long life. Previously, my doctor 3 years ago said it wasn't available for me at all, no matter what I said about it.

I remember the first year it came out, it was only for teenage girls. Even my son couldn't get it. Which just boggles the mind their logic. Teengage girls are not getting it from lesbian sex!

That said, I did want to correct what else you said because it's been frustrating how they kept changing the guidelines every single year.

I had to call in to get my result. As far as I know for most test all places send to the same labs anyways. I would avoid going to a family doctor of course. But it is funny that any non-free place is going to send you an insurance bill for the visit unless you have set it to paperless.

I'm sure it was all in my mind, but.

I went to PP once for testing and felt like I shouldn't be there. The reason I felt this way was something like this. PP is primarily a resource for females. And perhaps mostly for females without access to good healthcare, or who were victims of unfortunate circumstances, unplanned pregnancies, etc. Or at least this is what PP has evolved into it over the years. I felt that perhaps if what I just wrote is true, then as a middleaged white male I stick out like a sore thumb. Why would someone like me be there? Alone? The obvious jump to conclusions is because I'm hiding something. In my mind, that makes me appear as the bad guy to anyone else in there who has a much better reason to be there.

Simply put, while the staff and everyone I interacted with were nice and non judgmental, I did not feel comfortable in the waiting room.

Like I said, maybe it's all in my mind.

After that I went back to the county STD clinic, which has its own convenience issues. More because I didn't want to make other women uncomfortable than anything. Some are there for sensitive reasons too.

I had very positive experiences at the STD clinic as far as the staff, except it's inconvenient if there's a long wait etc.

Urgent care is nice in that there usually is very little other people waiting, the hours are convenient (often after hours). But remember. They take insurance (good) but send you a bill (bad for privacy). One good thing about the STD clinic was it was free so there is no bill.

I'm sure it was all in my mind, but.

I went to PP once for testing and felt like I shouldn't be there. The reason I felt this way was something like this. PP is primarily a resource for females. And perhaps mostly for females without access to good healthcare, or who were victims of unfortunate circumstances, unplanned pregnancies, etc. Or at least this is what PP has evolved into it over the years. I felt that perhaps if what I just wrote is true, then as a middleaged white male I stick out like a sore thumb. Why would someone like me be there? Alone? The obvious jump to conclusions is because I'm hiding something. In my mind, that makes me appear as the bad guy to anyone else in there who has a much better reason to be there.

Simply put, while the staff and everyone I interacted with were nice and non judgmental, I did not feel comfortable in the waiting room.

Like I said, maybe it's all in my mind.

Thoughts?IMO it is likely all in your mind, starting with your paranoia. Both for your STD results as well as your subconscious regarding your mongering! PP facilities are actually very nice, and lots of these clinics who treat the underserved have funding. Those same females exist in most clinics, it's just that PP is more widely known and popular. Perhaps you went at a busy time? Shouldn't matter, people go to sites most convenient to them, whether it be privacy, location, what have you. Why do you think there are religious protesters more at PP sites? Popularity. Also, it is the staff's job not to be judgmental, and if they were, it would be extremely insensitive. With today's cancel culture I feel most are on their best behavior at places of employment.

I use STDcheck. It isn't free (about $140 for a full panel), but it is super easy and discrete. Results come within 1-2 days. You don't have to show identification or insurance info and you can pay when you want (but results won't be released until you pay). My mongering has slowed down quite a bit over the last several years and I don't BB, so STDcheck works for me about once a month. It is very private. However, I think LA county has a provision that if you test positive for an STD, the LA County Health Department will send a letter to your house. I am not sure how to get around that, unless you use a fake address, which others have said is doable with STDcheck. I pay for the convenience even though there are free options. For those who are doing BB on a weekly basis or more, definitely look into doxyprep as others have mentioned.

On another note, I just had a bad scare in the last week. I had what looked like an ingrown hair at the base of my dick, and a few days later, it turned into a nasty, hollow, wet indentation with high ridges that was not painful at all. I was 99% sure it was primary syphilis, which would have forced me to divulge my activities to my spouse. Well, it isn't syphilis, as my full panel came back clean this morning. I suppose it is an ingrown that got some other type of bacterial infection. It is healing though. This shook me up enough that I am taking a long break from hobbying to reassess my life. I am hypersexual, and a sex addict, but for God's sake, I have great life I have built with my wife and I would not want to lose that.

Stay safe out there!

I thought I'd caught an STD with this crazy itchy groin rash, but doc just said it was a "severe fungal infection. " It kind of smells like a yeast infection.[Deleted by Admin]
