I'll be blunt. How do i get myself checked? Where do i go, what do i need and how do i go about it?

I'm in south west London if that is any help at all with regards to specific locations.

Most GUM clinics use a "number not name" system for these delicate matters. Just turn up when they are open.

I read it on the internet.

Most local Health Centres have one, not a pref, go to one and get help....

Genito Urinary Medicine clinic. Some operate on a walk-in basis, some you have to book an appointment for. You'll have to wait 2 weeks for the test results.

By the sounds of it, yes.

Yes. Apparently. Fortunately I've never had one.

Some places use a cotton bud, though.

I would imagine your GP will be able to refer you somewhere.

Sinque · 6 Jan 2008 at 00:41

Omg sex, he has 140k posts :eek:

You can go to your norml doctors too, they will normally help or give you advice on what to do next

Although the weeping pustules are often a useful early hint.

SideWinder · 6 Jan 2008 at 00:42

Okay, did a quick google and it turns out there is a GUM clinic a 10 minute walk away...how amusing. Thanks for the serious posts..and if mods want to keep this topic open for a serious discussion,feel free.

Make sure none of your mates or anyone you know are at the hospital at the same time.

If they see you, you will regret not using a mac for the rest of your life.
