Consequences of Anon Testing
[QUOTE=LimpAndSmall;6582669]A lot of posts here stress the need for opsec with regard to communications, burner phone, photos, payments, etc.
But what about STD testing? Is there a way to do that anonymously / securely?
Probably can avoid some part of a paper trail by paying cash, but the real issue is I believe most (all?) testers want to see I'd?
Nightmare scenario would be a positive result. I believe some are notifiable, I. E. SO would potentially be informed, if you give real info?[/QUOTE]I know this is a stale topic, but one thing I ran into while doing Anon testing is this. Bought a test kit off Ebay or Amazon. Registered it to my Sugar I'd. All good. But then a week or two later, here comes fast and furious emails from the testing site. They said I had something! WTF! So within hours I was in a redi-Clinic getting retested and treated for said disease.
Now here is where the fun begins. Right away the some Nimrod from the State Health Department starts texting my GV number. The dude was like a dog with a bone and would not let up. He wanted to see to it that I got treated. He would not take my word for the fact that I went and got treated and retested. This debate went on for DAYS and eventually I got the test results back from a real lab and it was NEGATIVE. So the dumb at # from the HD was working with a False Positive. Plus I had been needlessly treated. The dude pressed on and would not quit, stating that I should have waited for him and then I could have gotten treated for FREE at the HD. Genius!
Obviously I couldn't wander into the State HD for treatment without proper I'd. And since the testing was done under the Sugar I'd I had no way to do that. Might have been able to get the clinic to treat me anyway, but that would mean linking the Sugar I'd to IRL info. So eventually the HD guy told me he knew where I lived. It was the Sugar I'd address and I think he sent an agent or something there to "find me" and get me treated.
But the Sugar I'd worked, they never found me, BUT there were consequences. Plus no doubt if they could every match the Sugar I'd to IRL they could do something dumb like impersonation charges.
So yeah, Anon STD testing can be done, but if you pop Positive for anything, there are consequences!
STD testing (actually off topic for this thread, but OK)
IDK why this is so hard for folks. I have posted about this before, many others already know about it. Use the [URL]stdcheck.com[/URL] website. I believe that is the right URL, I don't have current access to my sugar jump drive where I keep all those records. Anyway, the site I use, you can go on there and pay for a STD panel, including all the viral and bacterial diseases, but I think perhaps not chlamydia. You can do that with the same sort of prepaid debit card we are always using for our SA membership. You can establish an account w / a fake sugar name, and all contact info fake. You are given a selection of local clinics (Quest, etc.) where you can go give your samples (blood and urine).
I find a lab in the back of a grocery store local to my work, no one knows me in that city. I make an appointment, print out the paperwork from the website, take it in, and get the samples taken. No muss, no fuss. In a day or two I get an email from the site that my results are ready. I can download a nice official-looking PDF file, it lists all of the tests done and that they were negative, it gives all of the fake sugar info I gave the site originally. This would be satisfactory for absolutely any SB who was worried about the cleanliness of her SD.
Familiarize yourself with all of the different diseases. In particular, these panels include Herpes simplex type I. This is the virus that causes cold sores, among many things. It is easily transmitted, by kissing, drinking from a dirty glass, etc. Therefore, about two-thirds of the US population is seropositive for this one. So don't get freaked out when you see you are +, and don't let your SB give you any crap about it.
I have never had a positive test using this service, other than HSV I, so IDK if I would be tracked down by public health authorities. I can just say that it seems these days every business is trying to stress you out with some terrible thing might be lurking out there to get you to spend more $ on their services.
