First, read up on STDs, and note symptoms. When such symptoms appear, then go for check up. (This applies to gonorrhea and NGU especially, because they come with symptoms. Herpes too, especially if they recur--which requires a culture test when there's an outbreak.)

In case of STDs that are notoriously asymptomatic: for syphilis (after 2 months from last sexual encounter) go for blood test; for HIV (after 6 months from last sexual encounter). I know there are sometimes symptoms appearing for these two--but not all the time. So if the symptoms match, go for the blood tests, first when those symptoms have appeared and then after six months (whichever comes first).

For all tests, go to DSC, which offers subsidised rates. But for HIV test, to be KS, go for AfA Anonymous Testing (on the same premises of the DSC but after office hours on Wednesday evening and Saturday afternoon). If you're really really really KS, go to Malaysia for testing. I think it's cheaper too.

As a precaution, how often do you (Cheongsters) go for STD Check Up?

Which are the recommended clinics for STD Check Up?

No, bro. Sorry. Not in this country and I don't think so in neighbouring countries, will you be able to get these test kits off the shelves of pharmacies, medical halls etc.

Any early detection kit available in Medical Hall without the need to wait till fire shot out of your dick?

hi:

I've read somewhere that home test kits for HIV have been available in the US in stores and on the internet since 1996.

As for accuracy, it would depend on whether the test is an ELISA Gen3 one, which tests off a drop of blood. I don't know about those that test from saliva scraped from the mouth, and how accurate those are. But generally, the blood test is the standard.

I've also read that there are such test kits for other diseases too.

Do a google search of the Internet and see what you get?

Also, there was one brother on this forum, with a thread, saying he was helping someone distribute the rapid HIV test kits. Maybe you can do a search for that thread and PM that brother, and he'll try and get you a good deal?

Anyway, my personal opinion is you should go see a doctor to help you with the tests anyway. But that's just me. Of course, I understand the embarrassment and privacy factor can outweigh the need for doctor opinion for some brothers.

Like every other doctors would suggest, go for regular annual body check-ups. Body check-ups shld include urine test and blood test. those cheap blood and urine test is enuff to alert you of any irregularities.

In the presences of such irregularities, go see the respective specialist. If need be, then go DSC.

But then, if obvious signs of STD is seen then go ASAP. or you did something really dangerous with a gal, then go 3 to 6 months after the episode lo.

well, it is true that NGU can recur, meaning it's not fully cured. that's why if anybody kena NGU must be very religious about taking his antibiotics on schedule and complete the course to maximise the chances of clearing the bacteria from their system.

seriously ngu is quite harmless but its damn hard to be fully cured!!

Don't know about you fellas but I hate going to DSC. Went there once a few years ago and fucking scared I would meet people I know......Also, attitude of staff not good. Keep probing with personal questions etc. etc.

What I want to know is whether there is any clinic OTHER than DSC that can do the whole list of checks. I don't mean HIV / Syphillis because these test, any clinic can do with normal blood test for HIV / VDRL. I want to be tested for the other stuff like Gonohrrea, HSV, HPV, etc. etc.

Incidentally, Hep A & B can be sexually transmitted (hep A through AR and hep b thru normal farking) n all bros should take the easy step of getting vaccinated. No need to tell OC anything other than you like to eat "See Hum" kekeke.

So brothers, any clinic other than DSC can do tests? Don't mind paying and if you test in JB, also can. Let me know.

kenwee, I know what you mean about all those questions. I got tested in a diffrent country. (Cambodia) They took samples and I called back later for the results when I was back home. Now the problem is to get treated with out those personal intrusive questions and having a marked record of what I have. I am toughing it out living with Gonorrhea.

Johnson 994.

Sorry to hear of your affliction but don't tough it out. It could cause some real damage............

Don't know where you caught the bug but if in Asia, you might want to get the following medication for your condition.

azithromycin (Zithromax) – 2 grams orally in a single dose

Do some research on the net. Gonnohrea is resistant in Asia to several types of antibiotics and the one above is your best bet.

You can try to get it here in Sg by talking to your GP and asking specifically for it. If u don't want to say what its for, you can say that u had a skin / ear infection, bronchitis, pneumonia or tonsillitis n this was what was given to you by the doctor there. You think its recurring, n could you get this medicine again?

Good luck bro.

Ever since I kana Gonorrhoea, have been quite interested in the topic of STD.

I got a jab abt 2 weeks back and although I don't have any stuffs spitting out from my penis, now I experience inflammation of the pee tube. Basically fire during peeing. Everytime I head to the Gents I just feel like shit cos even peeing is a problem now.

So my 1 cent advice:
- Drink lots of water during the recovery period
- Don't take chilli
- Rest well
- Absolutely no alcohol

Dunno if this is gonna persists but it's affecting my general well-being. So hope those who see this understands sometimes the virus is not just a flu, cos if it's not well-treated it's gonna becum much worst than thought.

Cheers

Cognac, I know what you mean about the fire while peeing.

.... sometimes the virus.. It is caused by the bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae. So it ain't a virus bro.

And Johnson994,

Please get yourself treated for your own good. If left untreated this is what you may have live with : http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/diseases/facts/epididymitis.htm

meanwhile, I certainly hope you are taking precautions not to spread it!

asknot3, That has started already. Will the pain and swelling go away in my testicles eventualy if I have not seeked treatment?bro, without treatment it will not go away...Gonorrhoea is reliably and rapidly cured by the correct antibiotics but how you react to treatment depends on how soon you get yourself treated.

If left untreated, can lead to prostate problems as well. Not to mention thinning of the urethra walls and infertility.

In severe cases : http://www.femail.com.au/gonorrhoea%20.htm
In both males and females a type of arthritis can occur (gonococcal arthritis) causing crippling joint pain and swelling. Fatal septicemia (infection in the blood stream) is another complication that can occur if this disease goes untreated. Go man...go see a doc and get yourself treated for your own good. :(

The problem with me seeking treatment is all the trouble I have to go through at the hospital. I know people that went through this. I am also alergic to antibiotics. First I don't know which girl gave it to me. I had sex with many diffrent girls and I really don't know how many. All I know is I had sex with out condom with all of them and they are all sex workers. Most of them were in Thailand freelance sex workers and I had sex with serveral girls a day while 3 weeks in Cambodia in whore houses. I got the symptoms about 2 weeks prior going to Cambodia so I know I caught it in Thailand some where. Thank you for all your help.

[QUOTE]The problem with me seeking treatment is all the trouble I have to go through at the hospital. I know people that went through this.The problem with you not seeking treatment is far worse. Don't listen to grandmother tales. Invasion of a little privacy maybe the price you may have to pay. Anyway, I very much doubt they will enquire too much. I am also alergic to antibiotics.You can't be allergic to all anti-biotics. If you are allergic to penicilin based anti-bios the doc can prescribe something else. Your doc can advise you more fully on this.First I don't know which girl gave it to me. I doubt this is an issue. ....I had sex with serveral girls a day while 3 weeks in Cambodia in whore houses.
