Actual private STD testing?

[FiatVoluptas]

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.

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..

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.

[FiatVoluptas]

Sorry to hear that, dude. 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..

You can get gut parasites from sushi. 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?

[DomCorazon]

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.

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.

Cold sores goes in cycles. Stress can cause them. Doctor will probably give you valtrex and have you retest.

I don't think anyone knows a doctor that's a monger. 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.

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.

One of the providers I saw that was in adult film directed me here for a test. Generally no questions asked testing as long as you pay. This is the service used by most adult film productions afaik.

There are plenty of ways to get tested with no extensive paperwork and no reporting to your insurance company (because you pay out of pocket), which means it won't go on your medical record. 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?

So the last time this happened to me was with the clap years ago. 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.

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.

Years ago I did a free test at an Out of the Closet location when they were promoting it through ads. 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.
