Are you STD free?

We should just get those pills from "Barbarella", that make your hair curl.
 
Gee.. back in the days when I was sleeping around with total strangers.. we always used condoms..

they are more trustworthy than a card... :)
 
I'm free and clear i'm always being tested because they want to make sue my health problems are not from a std. so that makes me a-ok.
 
What we need is a bit more tech!

Appalled by the progressive alienation between men and women, and hating fucking with condoms, I projected a future where most casual sex would take place in well run, pleasant bordellos.

Entry would be by long-term subscription, like a health-club. In a way these WOULD be health clubs.

Members would have smartcards. The date and results of their last test would be on the card. Each club would of course have facilities for more or less instant blood testing.

If you ain't clean, you're out.

Protects all the professional girls/boys, too.

You wouldn't have to use the pros, either. If you prefer to fuck friends/acquaintances, meet in the club!

Clubs would cater for all tastes. The card could carry certification, for example, that the person was an experienced Dom/me, guaranteed not to be an abuser.

Jesus! This could be the Microsoft of the 21st century!

A caveat: Those results are only good for the instant the test is done and you know it.

exactly...such a card would be meaningless to your potential lovers because even during the interval while you're waiting for the results you could have been tussling with half the people in town

it's an issue of trust...you have to ask yourself, do i trust this person with my life?

if you aren't absolutely certain of your answer, sheath yourself in latex
 
I had my blood work done (and all my STD checks) in October, and I'm clean.. and the only person I've been with since then is my honey, who was tested not long before that, and he's only been with me since then.. :)

why not take it a step further...virtual sex

how bad can a virtual STD be?
 
My husband and I practice safe sex with outside lovers, however, we still get tested for stds once a year or more.

It gives me peace of mind.

"practice makes perfect" my dad used to say;)
 
Another option

Besides having your local health Department do the test if you have a plasma center near you, one of those that pay you and not a blood donation center, they will run a full screen on your blood and will or should provide you with the results. These test are supossed to be done each time you donate and most regulars that donated do so once a week to every other week.
Concerning condoms, see the next post from another thread

for what it's worth

I found the other post I mentioned before, you don't have to take my word on it as true or not, but if it were me being concerned about it I'd make damn sure .......
Putting beside the issue of foreplay, a mess or not, if they taste like crap or whatever, as one has said already, in this day and age unless you really know your partner, and know him/her very well, they really do just make sense as far as your standard STD's go, but ......
With that being said .....
Let's bring into play those 4 nasty letters AIDS ...
Do condoms prevent AIDS? No. Don't they provide a barrier that the AIDS virus can't get through? No.
The last time I checked only 1 company made a condom that did provide a complete and safe rubber that prevented the virus being transferred, but the damn thing was so thick you might have thought you had a garden hose on.
I don't know what your country does or doesn't as far as studies, but here in the USA, we tend to spend stupid amounts checking out everything, but one of interest was condoms.
The general public doesn't know this information, but those within most medical fields do and if you have a doubt just take a trip to your local plasma donation center or a blood bank and ask their medical director how safe they truly are and if they're honest, they'll explain it like this.

Natural Skin offers 0% protection. All others, no matter what the material used, even latex, still has a weave, and weaves means openings. The question is, how large. This is the lay example.
The best condoms weave can be compaired to a normal chainlink fence, while the AIDS virus is the size of a BB.

So next time you slip on that rubber for whatever reason, and if you think it's going to offer 100% protection from AIDS, think about this.
Your cock is behind a chainlink fence and your partner has just thrown a BB at you, what's the odd's that it's going to hit the fence and bounce off, or will it make it through?

Permeability of Latex to Viruses

Are you sure about that, Woodmiester??

Some of us have used French Letters for purposes for which they were not intended, such as humongous water bombs. They proved to be impervious to water molecules, which are thousands of times smaller than a virus. They also make great balloons, which when filled with helium, float up, up and away for a long time, retaining the gas for longer than a hundred fucks. Helium molecules are about 1/20th the size of water molecules.

In countries where AIDS is really rife, e.g. here in South Africa - about 25 % of the adult population, condoms are *officially* reckoned best defence. After celibacy, of course. In other African countries, e.g. Uganda, education and condom-use has actually reduced AIDS incidence.

Whatever source gave that latex-lattice versus virus size information is seriously, dangerously flawed, IMO.
 
OOPS! You're talking about icky things.I was going to tell you about my Super Terrific Dildo.I have no icky things to talk about.
And that's a good thing.

:D

For some reason people keep thinking I asking them if they have an STD...that would be rude of me!
 
STD = Sexy Turtle Dick


zam.....are you itching or something? discharge? redness?
 
whew....'cause you know those geese and rabbits carry lots of stuff....i think hawk had a special STD section....about sexually transmitted diseases from bird sex....<shuddering>...


(btw...you'll appreciate this, as long as you're talking genital disease...yesterday when i was surfing easycheese stuff....yikes..up popped a site on smegma....oh dear god...i closed it fast...it had pictures......erppppp...."The animal kingdom would probably
cease to exist without smegma."
Thomas J. Ritter, MD.....okay....so i found the site again...just so you could look before breakfast: http://www.foreskin.org/smegma.htm...enjoy!)
 
As a single girl this is a subject near and dear... ok, not really.

The problem I see with the cards you describe...

1. It can take up to three-six months for some STD's to show up in some people.

2. Unless you go with the person and get your test results together, the person could lie to you.

I think the only answer for me is to make damn sure I trust the person with my life. That kind of trust is earned and that takes time.

While condoms are better than none...condoms don't cover all the areas that could expose you to an STD.

Well lookie there, PB...:) Good to see ya girl.

You make good points, it's just one line of defense, and timing is an issue, but one that could be resolved.
 
The expiration date on that card would be the day it was issued.

They don't take a Visa after the expiration date, I wouldn't take a "clean card" after it either.

So what is the moral of the story?
 
std cards

Cards seem to have alot of problems. May even be counter-productive if they create an aura of false security.

Solution seems to involve testing,treatment and a trend to sexual practice with no "exchange of bodily fluids" or exclusive clean partnerships.

I doubt the problem will ever really be solved as the human body is a delicous target for microbes and there are alot of ignorant and/or impulsive people out there.

For far future perhaps there might be instant feedback testing and some sort of electronic data cards to provide up to date status but right now we are still apes left to our own wits.
