Rants, Raves and Opinions AKA "The Octagon"

My mini-rant / statement of the day.

From this point on-- I will work in the areas that are convenient to me / comfortable for me.

In the past 2 weeks, twice now I have set up shop in different parts of town at the request of one or more mongers. In both cases, once there, the mongers in question were nowhere to be seen. And the areas apparently weren't easy enough access for anyone else. So I've sat. And sat. Knowing that if I were in one of my normal parts of town. I'd be busy.

So no-- no more. It'll be east side or north side from this point onward unless you're a reliable regular who begs and begs.

[QUOTE=Maz60;3461639]This article begs the question to all the Senior members: Do you routinely get tested? And if you do where have you found to be the best clinics.

A couple of years ago, I used one of those anonymous websites that set you up at a local clinic. Fortunately my tests came back clean. No issues right now, but curious what / where others have found to be affordable and reliable. Thanks for the info.[/QUOTE]Back in 2016, I got checked out up in Dayton at the Montgomery County Health Clinic. In my case, I did provide my health insurance info and I believe they asked for an ID so it was not anonymous. The clinic did a blood test for syphilis and a swab test for gonorrhea and chlamydia. They did a visual test for genital herpes, and warts. In the visual test, I think they also looked for signs of trichomoniasis and would do a swab test if you show symptoms. They did an HIV blood test but I did have to sign a separate form for that and the results are handled differently. I believe it was a social worker rather than the nurse that provided me the result. The clinic did not test for hepatitis C at that time. I had my family doctor order that blood test during a routine checkup.

[QUOTE=Tactless;3457775]Google search for "average size vagina".

Nothing longer than 5 to 6 inches.

So much for being well endowed. Treat the ladies with care gents.[/QUOTE]True! I'm above average for a guy and I'm constantly told to "be gentle". Handle with care.

[QUOTE=BigMack;3462448]Although HIPPA may give you protection against disclosure check with your state laws. Any person in my state who knowingly has sex unprotected and has HIV is guilty of a SERIOUS FELONY and can be sentenced to prison. Although privacy is important, to knowingly have unprotected sex and have HIV is or can be a felony so please check state laws where you are. Guys do it and so do ladies wanting to make money. Hope this helps I learned something new myself Have family in the medical field and they set me straight on HIPPA but said to check state laws regarding AID and unprotected sex. Thanks Monty.[/QUOTE]When tested for any STI's there are several that are tracked both by state and CDC. HIV, Syphilis, and gonorrhea (especially since the last has become resistant). It is my understanding that the general public cannot go and get the information about any individual. Any STI including HIV only becomes public record if involved in a crime.

ALSO important to note is that any and all testing (in state, out of state, or health clinic) is entered into the universal medical reporting record, locally known as EPIC and can be viewed by your primary physician and other health care professionals with appropriate credentials.

It depends on the state but it is why states are making it a crime / serious to have unprotected sex if the partner has HIV. Even worse if the partners have multiple partners and have HIV.

This probably belongs in the news thread, but it goes along more with the recent discussion here.

Hi guys,

I have my eyes on these two girls for couple weeks, had some text contact but haven't met yet. Just want to ask if any of you happen to had any experience or comments.

One is Summer: [URL]https://backpage.com.cincinnati.list...post/22710706/.[/URL].

The other is Tia: [URL]https://backpage.com.cincinnati.list...post/22701948/.[/URL].

Post from above was on backpage thread, not sure how you capture it in blue, but. The info is here and has been reported under the names and numbers you requested! Question when you are hungry do you go to the kitchen and find something or do you ask someone to do it for you? The answers you seek are here and you don't have to get up! Just use the search function on backpage thread and the rip-off thread! Hint f-ing hint.
