Do they require you show I'd? Or medical coverage? Able to give bs name? They say it's all confidential, but on this rock, that would be a first! Friend went to outer island and went to test at state clinic there. Figured no one will know him right? Wrong! Walks in, gal behind the desk is his cousin! What you doing here? Ah, ah, all f $& at ed up!

[QUOTE=LifetimeLurker;2021374] Wow, does it really only take one night for that to kick in? Luckily I don't know because it hasn't happened to me, so could an unfortunate senior confirm?[/QUOTE]Good point, Lifetime Lurker. Sometimes when mongers contract (or think they may have contracted) an STD, they tend to presume that the most recent provider with whom they've had sexual contact is the provider who caused it (even a provider from less than 24 hours before). Yet that may not be accurate. For example, although symptoms of gonorrhea may appear as early as two days after exposure, on the other hand it may take as long as one month. Similarly, the first symptom of syphilis may appear as early as ten days after exposure, but can also take as long as three months. Genital herpes can remain dormant for years after the infection. So by assuming that the most recent provider was the cause of an STD, a monger may actually be misidentifying an innocent provider.

[QUOTE=Member#2322;1975654]I just got through a check up at the diamond head clinic. They swabbed me and that shit hurts. They did two swabs and the second one was worse than the first. The good news is that it came back negative so I only have to wait for the blood test. I bet the guy in the next room was listening to me swearing up a storm. Next time I'm going to insist on just doing the urine sample. I'm all traumatized now.[/QUOTE]I concur on the swab shit. Went there three years ago and did that. Damn pecker hurt for a week! I got a new friend and she wants me to get tested just to be safe. Last time I just called the number and gave them the number I was assigned. Is there a way to get the test in hard copy to show my possible SO? Proof that I am clean?
Anyone ever go to the other places listed like Life foundation on Ala moana. The hours there are easier for me to get to.
Aloha OM.

Aloha OM.[/QUOTE]Used to be, you'd have to (or were allowed to) bring your SO in the room with you when your results were read if she wanted to know. I suppose if you put your phone on Speaker that would be similar.

Aloha OM.[/QUOTE]Not long ago, I went to Planned Parenthood on King St to get tested. Paid 25 bucks, if I remember correctly. They use the pee method (personally, I think the swab method is more accurate). It was awkward as the waiting room was full of women, and I was the only male customer there. I felt more comfortable at Diamond Head Clinic.

Aloha OM.[/QUOTE]Life Foundation do strictly hiv test. They tell you result in like 20 minutes after the test. (No blood draw. You just use this Q-tip thing and run it along your gum a couple of times like the CSI). No need I'd (anonymous). I never had to wait more than 5 minutes before I took the test there.
Diamond Head do hiv and gon / chl / syph test. For the hiv no need I'd if I recall right. The latter you need I'd. (It's been like 5 years since I been there. So I don't know if they still do blood draw for hiv and that frickin' Q-tip for the gon / chl / syph test + blood draw). Had some hot chicks in the waiting room last time I went. Oh that's another thing. You got to wait around at Diamond Head. And you need quarters for the parking meter if you park in their parking lot.
Both places are free.

If I remember, it's 15 min for 25 cents and if I'm not mistaken, the meter only takes quarters. It's those digital display type meters. It's not the ones you put the coins in and crank it with the knob. Surprising how long I had to wait when it didn't have that much people in the waiting area. It was about 2 and a half hours I was there. You can literally watch an entire movie while waiting.
Did the clinic the other day. Its different compared to three years ago. Didn't have the do the swab Thank God! If you don't have any symptoms, they said the urine test is all they need. They do the pin prick for the instant hiv test and if you agree, they'll draw blood for the syphillis test. Tested neg for hiv.
The other results take 7-10 days and they ask if you want to have it emailed or texted to you. They then contact you and you can go to a site that will show your results.
Still waiting on mine. But I'm doing the test just for my peace of mind. Been clean the other two times I went'. I go every three years just to make sure everything is ok. I would die if my SO got something and then I had to explain how it happened.
I think on the average, most of the providers are clean. The majority of the mongers opt for condoms and that's great. So unless there is some druggie out there with HIV going around BB with all the girls, our hobby is relatively safe. If anyone knows otherwise let us all know. I'd hate to find out someone got something from someone and then we all get it too.
Hinode, what a relief to not do the swap. I can feel you pain. I still remember mine!
Safe mongering guys!
Aloha, OM.

Aloha, OM.[/QUOTE]Oioman--thanks for sharing the info.
Yes, the method of e-mailing or texting the results is very new. I was there just three months ago, and they were still using the old anonymous ID call-back method in 10 working days.
If one has symptoms (i.e., burning, dripping), they'll probably still use the swab vice pee method.
They only give one Syphilis test per year per customer (I suspect because of the cost of the test). So, heaven forbid, if you visit them three times in one year, they will only give you one Syphilis test.
Ref your statement: "I think on the average, most of the providers are clean." Save for a couple of those few AMPs, I once assumed so, too. But I spent time with one hottie who was here for a very short stay at one of the AMPs late last year, and her BBBJ gave me a case of Chlamydia. I never did tip-off anyone here in the forum because she had already left the Island by the time the symptoms appeared.
Remember, if you go to DHC, bring enough quarters to cover at least three hours for the parking meter. And wear your sunglasses because the entrance isn't very discreet.

What's the cost for the urine, pin prick, and blood test?
My how technology has changed. Glad all future tests will not be painful for the braddahs anymore!!
