GUM / STD Clinic

[Strawberry]

Do escorts test for UU then? Should I inform the girls I have seen recently that I have tested positive for this?
 That is my dilema!

I don't know, I'm presuming this is a condition like thrush, in that it can have many causes and is quite common. Is it contagious?

[Gigabyte]

Well wiki seems to suggest that the majority of adults have it. I would suggest you get a telephone appointment with a GP and ask them if its something that you need to be warning escorts or partners that you have it. If it is something that is worth worrying about then the GP will also be able to prescribe something to help clear it up, so win win.

[Gigabyte]

I tend to have a low opinion of Doctors and GP's (sorry if there are any on these boards) after years of experience with them, only come across a couple that seemed to be very good. Most seem to go through the motions. 

Therefore there is no way that I would agree to
a swab inserted into my penis gave a fierce burning sensation which was pretty uncomfortable

Unless they were able to give me an extremely convincing argument. Nothing I have seen or read suggests that its absolutely necessary as a urine sample seems sufficient.

That kind of contradicts this statement then. 

I will admit to laying it on a bit thick as I have been told that if you don't the NHS look at you as low risk and won't necessarily do all the tests that they should.

I figured while I was there I might as well have all the tests suggested. Seemed pointless to opt out of one just to avoid a few moments discomfort.

[Gigabyte]

No what I meant was I didn't want to go there and find that I had only 1 test for a single STD or a half hearted check up that's why I laid it on a bit thick, I wanted as many potential STD's identified as possible. I was lucky that they didn't use a swab but from what I have now read the urine and swab are both used to identify the same thing, probably why they didn't do it on me.

I don't trust most GP's/doctors anymore after a number of mistakes made by them over the years (mistakes on me btw so personal experience). I no longer do or take something unless I am convinced of the need, I am quite upfront with them and may even be classed as a difficult patient as I just don't take things on blind faith anymore. In this case I don't see the need of a swab down my dick if a urine test does the same thing and would need to be convinced if they tried it next time.

Hopefully that explains the contradiction.

[LL]

Having a swab stuck down your chap's eye (see what I did there?) is not such a big deal.  I had that the first time I went to the GUM clinic for tests.  The nurse didn't even tell me she was going to do it.  One minute she was checking my balls, the next minute she swabbed me.  It's over in a couple of seconds.  These days I've have full check-ups elsewhere without the need to have that test.  By the way, nobody should be put off from going to a clinic just because of the thought of a particular test.  None of them are compulsory!  Just get a urine test and a blood test - it's up to you.  Going to the GUM clinic is not really anything to worry about but very important for punters.

I don't know, I'm presuming this is a condition like thrush, in that it can have many causes and is quite common. Is it contagious?

Ok..I went to the GU clinic a couple of days ago. Bloody hell all women doctors and nurses! So I'm lying there with my trousers down to my knees and a paper towel over my private parts and the doctor goes out for for about 5 minutes and I can feel the paper tickling my knob. Now I'm on my own in a room and  it feels like I have just gone to visit a prossie and I'm waiting for a massage!
I had to think of all sorts to keep my knob down...Football, Grandma, Hitler...
Anyhow, the doctor was very sceptical about the Ureaplasma and seemed to think it was not proved that it was a problem and nothing to worry about. I did fancy her a bit though and she got red flushes around the neck and chest while talking to me

I can't be arsed to read all the thread, but in answer to the question:-

Can I just walk in without an appointment?

Yes, you can.  Walking out afterwards is fine too as they do allow you to borrow crutches until you feel more capable of walking unaided, but expect some questions when you get home.  Unfortunately the "Property of xxx GUM Clinic" stickers are not removable.

[galinsoga]

I went to the walk-in GUM this week.  I normally go every 4 months but this was only 2 months after the last visit because "I had a red/ sensitive" patch on the shaft. 

As usual ABSOLUTELY no problem at the GUM.  Folk there are real nice and non-judgemental. 

Usual sign-in paper on which you give your name and other details.  Make them up if you want (I give real details) but the phone number for text results or email must be "real" and MAKE SURE you write it legibly.

Most of the questions on that paper deal with ethnic origins and similar (to keep that statistics folk occupied I suppose).

Anyway, 10 mins wait then in to see the nurse.  Nice older lady.  I described the problem. She asked only when I last had sex, used condom and whether it was with a regular partner (3 days, it was covered, and yes - well, one of the regulars but I did not tell the nurse that, or that she was a regular WG).

On the couch and trousers down.  2 min exam and she declared - "looks more like abrasion to me, but could be a type of herpes because we have been seeing non-blister herpes more these days".  Declares she will give me tabs for that anyway because they can't do any harm.

Took a swab from the red area and inside the tip - honest fellas there is nowt to it.  Stings for a second but no more.

Then tells me to get dressed and go to the other rooms

Room 1 - pee in a sample bottle
Room 2 - blood sample

OK I have to wait for the full results in max couple of weeks but I am not expecting any real issues because I do know the girls concerned well.

AND - after just 1 day on the Zovirax tabs the red/ sensitive patch was much reduced. After 3 days - gone.  So, looks like it was a herpes attack.  I have been having those for 20+ years as maybe once or twice a year WHEN UNDER STRESS (and I have a domestic stress situation now).  Normally irritation followed by blisters that go all crusty. Lasts about 5 days.  Bloody uncomfortable.

This "surface/ non-blister" type is a new one on me and I will take the nurses word that it is becoming more common.

So finally somebody here admits to having genital herpes.  I do hope you're not indulging in OWO with WGs.  If you are then I'd like to know which girls you're seeing so I can avoid them.

Genital herpes is particularly easy to catch when an infected person has blisters or sores. However, it can be caught at any time, even when someone has no symptoms at all.

and External Link/Members Only

Always use a condom while having any kind of sexual intercourse (vaginal, anal and oral), even after your symptoms have gone. This is particularly important when having sex with new partners.

This is yet another reason I'm definitely thinking of going for covered oral from now on... so it will be covered oral, no fingering, no RO, no DFK... shit I'll be back in the good old days of British prossies services

[LL]

This is yet another reason I'm definitely thinking of going for covered oral from now on... so it will be covered oral, no fingering, no RO, no DFK... shit I'll be back in the good old days of British prossies services

I go to a GUM clinic regularly for tests (every 3 months).  I don't let WGs do OWO, I don't do RO, or fingering.  It's all personal choice of course.  I'm not saying other people shouldn't do these things - it's up to them.  What I want to say is that even with my vanilla experiences, the GUM clinic staff tell me I'm still at risk of catching Gonorrhoea or Chlamydia.  This is because, vaginal fluids can carry the virus which can be transferred via the hands.  So if the girl fingers her pussy and then tosses you off (without a condom on your cock) then this could be enough to pass on an STI.  So I take steps to minimise the risks but I understand that there will always be risks as it's sex. 

About DFK though.  This is something I really enjoy and I'm not really prepared to stop doing it.  I.e. I've accepted the risk.  Some people feel this way about OWO.  I'm not fussed about that - for me DFK is much more important.  The staff at the GUM clinic tell me I cannot catch an STI from kissing.  However, I don't like to think of myself French kissing a WG who's had some bloke's herpes-infected cock in her mouth minutes earlier.  That's why I responded to the post that bloke made about his genital herpes outbreaks in the way that I did.  Well that and more importantly, the fact I feel that if this guy has any respect whatsoever for the women he pays to fuck (and I would hope that he does have some) then he shouldn't let suck him off without any protection, considering he knows that he has genital herpes, as that would be putting the WG's health at risk (as stated in the NHS links I posted above).

LL, the data you quote is from 2008 and is an estimate in 'millions of people'. 
If for Western Europe I take the total millions infected for male + female (21 million) and the web-quoted figure of European population 2008 then the % is 4.2

Fair enough that is a lot less than on the web link I gave. HOWEVER

The data will be for reported cases. I personally believe that the stigma of using a GUM clinic has much reduced in recent years so there will in fact be more reported cases now.  There may well have been just as many actual cases in 2008 - but they were not reported.

Genital herpes is very common in the population.  About 1 in 3 people have HSV1  (oral)  and 1 in 8 have HSV2.  Having cold sores on the mouth does not protect you from getting it down below, though the two virus do share similar DNA so if you have HSV1 already on your mouth then you shouldnt get it too bad down below.

As far as working girls, its been estimated over 90% have genital herpes.  Which would make sense given that most of us have cold sores, and you can pass them on without even having a cold sore.  Google "viral shedding" with regards herpes.

And the scary part - firstly, no cure, secondly, they can be passed on without even having sex, and even when your wearing a condom.  Touching privates of a girl then yourself can spread it, as can having sex with a condom and if the genital herpes touch your testicles for example, or the base of your shaft, then, too bad.

As for testing, NHS is crap, they can only detect it if you have sores.  Private clinics now offer something called IGG testing for herpes antibodies, bit like HIV.  You need to wait 3 months after possible exposure, but they can now detect antibodies to HSV1 and HSV2 in your blood, even if you dont have sores.

Something you might wanna bear in mind before you pass it on to your wife!   Now that would be a hard one to explain.....

[cjkany2015]

I went yesterday. First time on the NHS but I've been privately before. I wasn't overly impressed.

They didn't really want to test much as I had no symptoms. A piss test and some blood. No swabs.

She didn't really ask about my history so I explained that I'd seen hundreds of girls. She said that only gay men and sex workers get the full swabs etc including throat and not promiscuous men. I bottled out of saying that most were hookers but I don't think this would have changed anything.

She said the chance of me passing anything around by giving RO is very rare which conflicts with everything I've read.

All very chilled out and non judgemental but as I was there I wanted the full works and also to discuss hepatitis vaccinations but l felt a bit stonewalled.

[GreyDave]

Ist and last thing when going to GUM is to tell them the truth not bend it.
100 girls over a few years not to risky, but 100 work girls = to you being one of their 100 in a week .
I ve had full checks and offered the hep jab, as when working girls are involved the risk element increases. I am not saying civies on a pissed Satnight arent a risk....
Ive been asked age, nationalty and ethnicity of girls of encounts which have prompted me to go, draw from that what you will.

[cjkany2015]

You may have a point but they honestly seem to want to avoid doing tests and filter people out.

I'm glad I got the tests I did done and it will put my mind at rest. I may need to go and push for hep jab as I increasingly enjoy rimming

Tbh I think he absolutely does have a point. You weren't honest with them about your punting which would have identified you as higher risk. End of discussion really, IMO.

Fair enough take your point fully. I was an arse. I will go every 3 months from now and be honest next time.

Ignoring me though, I think they should do the full suite of tests on anyone who wants them. Struck me as a cost saving exercise.

Not really, there are people who are insanely paranoid and would probably want the full battery of tests just because they kissed a girl and think they caught germs off her. Mysophobia (fear of germs) sufferers are a classic example. It's perfectly OK for GUM clinics to identify high risk patients otherwise it would end up being prohibitively expensive to do the myriad of test for anyone who asks for them.

Next time you want the whole caboodle just tell them you fuck prossies regularly and maybe you did "berbeck" by accident when the condom split

I have only ever caught glandular fever and Noro virus from clients but if I did catch an STI then I would text or email everyone I had seen since my last screening to inform them. (Fair enough)

However if you did not want to then you can ask the GUM to do it for you and they will, They send a generic text saying an escort you may have seen recently has been found to have (Insert STI here) and it is advisable for you to pop in to your local clinic for a screening as soon as is convenient.

That way you don't get named

Sorry, but that sounds like a load of bullshit.  Where are you getting that figure from?  You need to quote a source.

[LL]

No worse than the advertisements I get via texts to my punting phone thanks to a WG who thought I'd like to hear from her pimp every time he's got a new girl in town.  Or the texts I get about special offers in strip joints in Soho which could have only come from the NHS GUM clinic in Soho since they are the only people who have that number - I used a dedicated SIM card just for them.  So yes, I have to be very careful about hiding my punting phone!

[NightKid]

On the subject of risk, I visited my local GUM a couple of days ago for a checkup. Haven't gone for nearly 6 months due to busy schedule + a period of travel but I'd been punting a fair bit during my travels.

This next bit surprised me though; I was told it wasn't necessary to do the checkup on a quarterly basis.
Bear in mind this was the GUM that I regularly visited last year so they're aware of my punting habits & I'd just disclosed a preference for unprotected oral sex prior to receiving said advice.

Of course, I just did the blood/urine test anyway. But does anyone else find the initial advice rather flippant or did punters recently got downgraded to low-risk?
And it was just only a few months ago that they were going on about doing everything protected and giving out free dental dams ... nobody even asked me if I wanted condoms this time(!)

P.S. I'd heard talk about the healthcare budget getting cut. Any basis/relation to that?

[ciscoxxx69]

Had my 4month check up yesterday and decided I would be "less economical with the truth" and be more honest about my lifestyle (last time I went, I hadn't been so 'prolific' on the 'seeing WG's' front)

I gave a false name and address.
From start to finish the whole experience was a completely professional, informative, non-judgemental, accommodating process. I have to say, totally first class. In fact, the best NHS treatment process I have ever had....
(when else can you be seen, tested and treated immediately on a walk in basis?? Last scan I had, took 13 weeks to get it done!)

I explained that I was feeling a little paranoid about what I was doing and wanted to be sure I wasn't harbouring any nasty surprises.
The nurse was completely empathetic and supportive.
I asked for the works - I have no symptoms - and she said fine and advised me what I could be tested for.
I got a Urine test, blood test, mouth swab and HepB injection (two more to follow at monthly intervals plus a booster in a years time.)
These tests will cover all Detectable STI's - and the results will be texted to me within two weeks. Also, as I had sex with a WG the day before my visit, she said when I come back in a months time for my second HepB jab, they will retest everything again as the incubation period for any new threats will then be up to date.......all in all, absolutely first class.

I urge anyone reading this who is apprehensive about doing this, to go and get it done straight away.
If you've got the balls to go and see WGs, then you should have the balls to get tested....for all or sakes.

I must admit that despite thinking I had been fairly thorough by having clear urine, oral swab and blood tests recently, I was not so aware of the HepB risk. It's recommended for 'people who change their sexual partners frequently'. Although the idea of 3 jabs over a 4-6 month period seems a bit of a pain, £30 (free at GUM ?) for 5 years protection seems a sensible added precaution.

This is for the London crowd:

Last week I went to 34 Dean Street or Dean Street Express as they call it. If you have no symptoms and you just want to have a regular test that's the place to go. You answer a small questionnaire on a touch screen computer, they give you a number, you piss in a pot, they take your blood sample, six hours later you get your results via text. Couldn't be simpler and easier. I got mine, all clear and was also offered the Hep B vaccine and I had the first shot.

That was me who posted that.  It would be better if the girl contacted you but many wont so then it is surely better they know they can ask their GUM to do so, so that you are aware and can get checked.  yes there is a risk the missus might see the text but surely you have a punting phone.  The risk of s text being seen is nothing compared to having to explain to the wife how she suddenly has caught an STI from you.  A text can be explained as a wrong number but catching something from you cannot be explained away so easily

The point I tried to make on that thread is that they have to let the client know and rather than ignore it if too frightened to do it themselves there are ways available so they don't have to be the ones to do it.  Would you rather she told you or would you rather not be told at all and risk passing it along?

I think it's the other way around.  They want to use your results to make up the statistics.  So if you test positive to something they want to log where it was likely to have originated from.

Update
Had my second Hep B jab today, a month after the first.

Whilst there....
I asked Nursey (a different girlie to last time) 'why are you interested in the nationalities of 'Sex Workers' I have seen?'
She replied that 'HIV AIDs and Hepatitis are significantly more prevalent in the African continent and South East Asia than the UK, and therefore you are at much greater risk of these diseases if you have seen 'Sex workers' from these places'....all very logical.

As it had been a month since my last visit (and during that time I had seen 8/10 girls) I got tested for ALL things again. So I had....Blood test, Urine Sample, Mouth and Throat swabs and (new for this visit)........a small plastic spatula inserted into my Jap's eye 
ALL painless, and all performed with ultimate professionalism and good humour. Informative and reassuring........Absolutely no judgemental attitude whatsoever.

I get the results of these tests within two weeks, and return for my third and final Hep B jab in a months time.......

Guys - preacher alert!!!- if you actively persue this hobby and haven't been regularly tested....STOP being a TWAT and go get it done........
Just sayin'
