HIV Check Ups

As a healthy sexually active (semi) gay male I thought it would do me good to get myself some regular checks at the genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinics just to ensure I haven't caught something nasty from my partners and flings because heaven knows where their own genitals have been. Considering my ex was a medic, he drummed in me very serious lessons about HIV, STIs (STDs) and other assorted risks I should be aware of and I tell you that's all I ever think of before sex is concerned (and post sex for that matter), risk risk risk.

For one I don't give unprotected blow jobs anymore because knowing some people and their skanky habits of visiting spas and having random sex in gym showers and dank alleys (the ultimate STD havens) I'd do well to protect myself from chlamydia and herpes and fuck knows what other weird shit exist in the nether regions of dusty medical tomes. I've had myself some scares in the past where I'd develop fevers after sexual activity although to date fortunately these HIV scares have all been false alarms. Still you most probably wouldn't want to swallow ejaculate of the first random stranger you meet or to even be complacent giving a blow job with ulcers and cuts because that shit transmits through your cuts too.

Funny story, the last round I had myself a check up there were two attractive young female doctors in the room. Well one of them was actually a final year medical student that was there to observe the process although it only increased the awkwardness of the situation. Me being bisexual certainly did not help matters, having attractive ladies examine my intimate regions and what have you. The last thing I would want would be a misplaced erection giving rise to much consternation and embarrassment. And yes you drop your trousers and let them fondle your balls for abit to check for any odd lumps that might develop. Yes they do swab samples from your urethra and anus and mouth (all separately of course, blimey) but these are only if you insist on a full check which very many Malaysians sadly do not do. Heaven knows how many of my fellow countrymen carry the odd infection however minor. 

Back to the story though, at least no misplaced erections happened although I was somewhat less embarrassed this time around with my third series of health checks as compared to my first time (which was nerve wrecking). And yes they ask you alot of intimate details and personal matters to ascertain the degree of risk. I'm happy to be clean of everything at my last check and hope to remain that way. So boys and girls, the point of this half health advice article, half awkward experience is to get yourself tested if you want to fuck with some peace of mind. No really, get yourself tested now before you infect the whole community. Play safe and play nice now. ;)
