Here's some advice on TRT from a doc on YouTube that doesn't have a vested interest.

[QUOTE=Darkman808;3270667]A doctor is a doctor.

But a dick doctor is what we're talking about here, eh? Boys, there are risks associated with taking T boosting treatments. But the guy 'selling' them to you will be less inclined to tell you all that.

Here's a question. Has anybody gone to this clinic and taken a test and been told, "Bra your T is fine. No need. Good bye. " I would guess EVERY guy walking in there is told, "You have low T!" What a surprise.

I've been seeing my urologist at Straub for years. My family has a history of prostrate cancer. So I've been monitoring all my PSA's every 6 months and my GP doctor watches all my other blood chemistry levels. Been doing this about 6 years now. I initially walked in there asking about my 'low T' and wondering. After initial blood work my urologist told me my level was normal for my age. Of course I could take T treatments and increase the level and increase the risk of expediting any prostrate cancer issues. I decided to pass.

My brother is the same as me, decided to take T treatments and his PSA's went off the scale. Other problems too. Suffice to say, nothing is without risks.

I don't want to get on anyone's case. This is just my 2 cents. But be careful. There was comments earlier that the clinic in town does not (or did not) have a urologist on staff. What? Isn't that a prerequisite for having this kind of clinic?

I've suffered from issues common to those with prostrate cancer related problems. But I'm still healthy and PSA test still have me in a safe range. I don't take T supplements upon my doctor's advice. The urologist I see at Straub is one of the best in the nation. His recommendation to me, "Not really worth it, costs, increasing other risk issues, while solving others. Take your pick. ".

So, my solution is a steady diet of blue pills "as needed" when the mood strikes me.

Stay safe out there boys. Monger on.

Any info on where to go for a confidential free or paid STD test? Other than my PCP.

Today with all the health providers all networked to the great data base in the sky. Your shit is all exposed.

If you have a SO or Other. It would be a real bummer if information was to gets back to them.

Ty.

Ty.[/QUOTE]I go to Urgent Care and request total confidentiality. They won't release results to anyone.

Ty.[/QUOTE]Diamond Head Health Clinic. Right by KCC, Leahi Hosp. Recently had a major event with my SO and she demanded I get tested. Another story. Anyway go in the afternoon, lots of metered parking, STD testing clinic, take a number and all anonymous testing though I think you do have to give your real name. HIV test result in 10 minute right there. Rest of results, Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, syphilis takes about a week. Don't even have to go back if your tests are negative. They will email you the results with your name on it. If it does come back positive, they would probably request you come in for the result for counseling. I doubt you would bump into someone you know there but it's a slight possibility, but if you do, they are there for probably the same reason too. No charge at all. They might ask you why you think you been exposed. Not too prying, but if you do reveal why, who or where, and your test comes back positive, they have a obligation to followup with the source. In a way this is good. I'm sure I'm not the first to be tested, and though I didn't mention specifically which MP I frequent, if there is some kind of positive result, they would inform the establishment of the exposure. Personally I'm not a BBFS guy, though have been guilty once in awhile. With the amount of BBFS activity being posted, it is kinda scary. The only way your SO could find about it, is if she has access to your internet. They also give you a phone option too I think.

Good luck.

Ty.[/QUOTE]While there is a certain amount of networking within each organization, by federal law (HIPAA) you are protected from being exposed. Yes, I know stuff happens and it is possible that someone could hack into your records. If it exists on an intranet or internet, well there is the possibility. But, I think you can figure that since there are millions of records, yours would not be singled out. Any place you go will enter your visit into its data base. Not to worry it is confidential unless you personally release it. Personally, I have no problem, nor have I had any problem with the HMO that I go to. My records are on line for me to review with the exception of any STD testing. To get those results, I have to call my doctor who will then reveal the results having verified that it is indeed me. Even then she will only say over the phone "all of the extra tests were negative". Now my doc happens to be female and asian so I have an ulterior motive here. "Hey doc you know I clean so how about it?" haha.

Ss.

Ty.[/QUOTE]I got tested once at planned parenthood. An ex-girlfriend worked there years ago, so I knew they tested for STDs. The only bummer is you have to wait in their waiting room. It's 80% women. The guys there are waiting for their GFs. Search online you may find a way to do it by mail. Ideally we should be wearing a cover and we won't need to be tested, but who has the self discipline to do that?

I noticed my feet could use some tlc, the nails and such as well as some roughness on the skin. Like I am seeing some cracks and shit. Anyplace you guys recommend for getting a good old fashioned male pedicure? Wouldn't mind getting a message afterwards either. Sorry if this is the wrong place but I know taking care of your feet is important and also girls notice if you got talons and even if they are being paid I still prefer to be a healthy client who takes care of himself. I got a great place that does my hair but they don't do nails.

I would rather not just walk into one of the tourist Waikiki health spas unless you guys say it is worth it.

Hey Duke,

May I recommend Yoshino. I've gone to her a couple of times and she works out of Sanctuary Salon. I used to work next door and and we used to call her the Japanese sex robot just because she seems like she's out of an anime hehe. Unless you can get a pedicure everyday I do recommend using a pumice stone every time you shower on your feet to help with the cracks, I do it myself.

[url]https://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=mens+spa&find_loc=Honolulu%2C+HI[/url]

As you know, they cannot be paid to remove bad reviews, though I have seen horrible reviews followed with a gleaming shill review (probably the business themselves or a friend). You're right though; foot condition does get noticed. Foot problems can grow into problems with your body/health, and it is worse for diabetics.

Good luck, hope one of these places is to your liking.
