What does a full comprehensive STD/STI checkup consist of?
I’ve been to the NHS and because I don’t tell them I punt, I worry that they treat me as a low risk and give me the generic checkup (Blood/Urine sample + examination of penis) as opposed to a full checkup.
Is there more to it than a blood and urine sample?
Every question they ask when you go to the NHS will have a potential outcome. It may be that you get a swab from here, a sample from there, an offer of this, a suggestion of that.
If you don't want to say that you see sex workers, why not say you ave found out that one sexual partner you have you suspect of being a sex worker?
Fair play for getting tested. I don't think there is enough talk about this on here. But don't sell yourself short by not telling the truth. Trust me, they don't care, they see much more on any day than you can tell them. Their motivation is the sexual health of the population and judging your sexual practices is very low on their agenda.
They have also heard every cover story under the sun and they let them all pass because they care more about getting you the tests you require than whatever you have to tell yourself to get them done. I reckon they are also used to people coming in, rejecting a suggestion of something and then returning with an incredible coincidence that just happened to need the suggestion they first mooted soon afterwards.
Strange though, in all of my visits to the clinic I can never recall having a specific routine penile examination.
