Current Events > Oh good, my local sexual health clinic has started offering no-talk screenings

(+) Yeah! (+)

Don't know how it is in the USA but last time I went I got a full 15 minute interview where they asked me things like "have you raped anyone recently" and "have you had any unprotected orgies with drug using men"

so glad i don't have to do that shit

They were just making sure you're not Vegy

so glad i don't have to do that shit

I don't understand. You're glad you don't have to do interviews like that, or that you don't have to do such interviews with an actual human being?

That's a good point. I think giving people a discreet way of passing along such information should still be in place (as a written document). Sometimes it can be the linchpin in helping someone out of a bad situation.

It should be a voluntary process, though. I think patient discretion should trump such disclosures.

He said it's literally a sexual health clinic...

I'm confused by this whole topic.

...

Now I am too because I don't know how to follow up what I said and still have it make sense.

I'm saying it's pretty invasive and awful to sit there talking about your sexual history with a doctor.

Regardless of what they say I want urine and bloods. Test for chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis and HIV. Like just do that. Shouldn't have to tell you what kind of freaky sex I've been having to qualify for that.

I mean having some background helps clue doctors in on what medical ailments you have. I remember a guy went into a coma and died because someone dared him to eat a slug while he was drunk.

I'm still unclear of what your take/point is.

You're saying it's better now since it's now 'no talk' required, right?

Either way, if there's one time to not be shy, it's when talking to a doctor. I'm fully honest about any sex, drugs, etc because why tf wouldn't I be

Good in theory except when the doctor is judgy, which is annoying.

I dunno man, just test me for all the things that you can with urine and bloods.
