The 6th monthly STI reminder!
Jump to: Newest in thread
It’s the 6th monthly reminder!
As we’re in a group of people that had more sex than others with different partners, we should have regular tests, it’s very much part of the ethical bit of enm!
A quick google will bring you to your free service on the NHS. It’s free it’s easy, what’s not to love
Let’s be the change we wish to happen.
Post below when you’ve ordered!
Some areas are different but there will be some provision! I believe free testing is every three months! I’ve got a few months to wait till my next test!
I personally have a kit waiting to use tonight! |

Oh don't worry, I just make my sexual partners get tested after having sex with me so I know if I've picked anything up.

That’s a start but nothing is a substitute for personal testing as well! |

I am not due to get one at the moment but it was your post last month that reminded me that I had ordered it but not done it.
Took me a bloody hour and 4 fingers to get enough blood but it came back clear
Thank you Mr Du Bois for these posts |

I test monthly. You can get test kits posted to you at home, send them off then get the results back by test. Quick n easy. To get the blood sample, yes, soak your hands in hot water for a minute then kind of milk the blood down your arm. Than the finger prick.
If you’re not on prep yet, maybe todays the day to take that forward as well? Much better safety record (for hiv only) than condoms |

"Lots of different advice for how to get blood, for me I find windmilling my arm for a minute helps, also making sure you’re hydrated! "
I take it this is before you prick the finger? Otherwise.. Murder Scene. |

Can someone please give me the secret to obtaining a good amount of blood from the pin prick?? I literally spend hours trying to squeeze a drop out!! It’s so frustrating  and then while I’m trying to milk my bruised fingertips the bloody vial topples over and any actual liquid splatters out! Honestly it looks like an episode of Saw! Ugh. My last one was inconclusive because of the quality of the blood sample… *cries |

Soak your hands in warm/hot water first. Or have a bath. Then milk the blood down from the top of your arm to your fingertips in a warm room. Then prick your finger and collect |

On prep so no reminder required…when down to last bottle tablets, it’s time to make the next test appointment .
On a serious note though, everyone active in this game should get tested.. for everyone’s sake |

Try keeping your hand in warm water for a while before doing the pin prick; also do it on your right hand.
Worked for me with doing my T level test (got next to nothing from my left hand) |
