Why can I not post clear test results?

By *lbethere OP Man over a year ago

Manchester

So, after each meet, well a month or so after I send a sexual health test off for checking, I always play safe but this is just another precaution as you never know.

Don’t get me wrong i’m not meeting on here all the time but I just can’t seem to get what I do on here in the vanilla/real? World. Which for anyone who’s bothered info I do well in but can’t get what fab gives

. I also play safe in that shall I say less exciting World. The relationships I never seem to be able to make them last more than a few months! I do try. Anyway hat’s another story and more to do with my loving of fab than anything else. But why won’t the site let me post the latest test results I have surely that helps? I have no personal info on show, I don’t get it.

Are you trying to post a pic of them? It’s against the rules, you have to be in the pic.

Plus the results are all but worthless because unless you abstained for the relevant amount before the test and haven’t slept with anyone since it doesn’t mean anything.

This

A clear test result, like a car MOT is only useful on the day or shortly after it' issued.

Unless someone is monitoring you 24/7 they have to take your word that you haven't bumped uglies with anyone since the last test. And without showing personal info how would anyone know the test was yours?

Pointless.

Maybe I should print them and hold them.

The abstinence time is observed. As I said I not meeting on here that often and always use protection. It would make me feel better if others had them, I sure many would think the same, even though I get checked regularly I still only play safe.

If you want just add the latest tests dates to your bio. And if you chat with someone you're looking likely to meet you can just send a picture direct from your phone in a message

the abyss

At the end of the day having the test results printed is still only your word that you've not 'played' or only 'played safe' since.

I'm not sure having the results printed in a picture would make any difference to me, in fact it might put me off.

Just my opinion though

Test results are for your own peace of mind, they are pretty meaningless to anyone else really.

So you’re saying like an MOT it’s not worth having?

Gotta say that’s a odd view. Definitely want my car MOT’d just like I’d like to know some one was tested now and then? It’s nothing to do with thinking they’re trying to con me it just a little bit more to add to the fact they practice safe sex, not that that’s the point of the post. I was only wondering why it wouldn’t post not if testing was worth the paper it was written on or not. If course it all opinion except why i can’t post it

So is it the fact of the testing that would put you off? Again opinion but I feel testing should be pretty standard

I think such a focus could deter many. You are potentially jumping the gun, when the finer points of sexual health etc, can be covered further down the line

Again it is the wording the site you’re on uses, you might not use it, I don’t know but the site does. Not sure of your point here.

This is unity version of what safe sex is…

‘Safer sex is a way of reducing the chance of getting or passing on a sexually transmitted infection (STI).’

I use that too.

The testing is also away of reducing passing on those infections.

I hope these help.

Fab is weird. I can't post a pic of a leather paddle I made that has my hand in the pic because they can't identify that it's me but someone can post a meme that literally only has words and no person in it and it passes the verification.

Nobody has ever said testing isn't worth it.

Most take it as a given that those with common sense will be getting tested regularly. Putting that or any results on a profile doesn't make people more likely to want to meet you, won't change people's perception of you and essentially is what most would class as excess profile info.

Just put the words 'tested regularly' as others do. That's enough.

But anyone can say they're tested regularly when they're not, and anyone can fake a test result letter - and many centres don't send them, just results via text anyway.

We're all responsible for our own health and safety so much better to assume that everyone is the same risk and take your own precautions as you see fit. Assuming everyone who says they play safe has never barebacked or that those who claim to be tested after every shag are telling the truth is a very risky approach.

Like others have said I don't see the point of posting a pic of your test results. If you are chatting to someone you can send them a direct pic if they ask about testing or if you want to show them.

Having it on your profile as a pic seems pointless and while yes it's good you get tested most responsible people do I think on here,it is only valid as long as you haven't slept with anyone else. And not everyone will take your word that you haven't.

You can always say on your profile that you get tested regularly of you like.

That is all well and good. But I’m actually asking why I can’t post a regular test cert, real or not but I can a worded silly meme.

It makes no sense.

My opinion on testing is my opinion and you cannot fake an e-mail sent address. The test are e-mailed or on your SHL, they pretty safe to be fair, text is an option I 2. But why would you have just that and why would you fake a free no bother to anyone posted test? (i know their are some but in general) On this front all I’m saying is I would prefer to see someone bothers as clearly many don’t.

But your opinion is heard and respected

You would indeed need to include a body part in the photo.

Just write it in your bio that you're tested regularly and happy to show results

I get mine via text, so can always show people when I meet them (not that anyone has ever asked)

Here are the photo rules.

Unless you're in the photo it can't be posted although sometimes mistakes will happen as the photo mods are very busy.

As others have said make sure a body part is in the photo or write on your profile that you're regularly tested
