True, it took about 4 days for the results.  Mind you, things like herpes may only be found 3 months after the initial infection, so an immediate test does not mean you are all clear on everything.  I learned a lot from the doctor there - he seemed motivated to educate me (though Google had pretty much told me everything I needed to know beforehand).

I can't recall the exact price now, but I was surprised by how cheap - only a few hundred HK$

yes as others mentioned i think 3 months is the accurate time.. tests where they draw blood usually takes a few days for results, oral swab tests take 30 minutes, but not sure if they have those in asia yet.

Very interesting (and IMHO necessary) thread here.  I've been lucky enough to never have a condom break, but have had a scare in the past after I fingering WGs and then realized that it is dry season and my fingers were a bit chapped.  Really stupid on my part I admit.  Afterwards, I would torture myself thinking that I might have contracted something.  I tried convincing myself that the odds were slim.

What I'm trying to say is that no matter how much you analyze it, the only way to get peace of mind is to get it checked.

i seriously did that once or twice....but def not collect them

No matter what, you know you have exposed risk.  The only way to find out is test.  It's as simple as that.  Nothing else matters.

First I would say, be cool....The risk is minim...
I was in a similar situation 3 year ago.
After coming, when I went out, I lost my condom in her.
She was more in panic then I was.
We went to the hospital, and a doctor find the condom in her.
After that we were very happy, return both to my hotel, and make love again....
I never had some problem adn no herpes or something like that.

You got to be pretty wierd and have some dirty fetish to be collecting that stuff.  Imagine if a guy poured out his juices, rinsed it out, and wrote the name and date of his conquest on each used condom and put it in a binder, that would be freakish.Now imagine if he left the juices inside and just tied the end together...

A buddy told me that his SO used to save the cum-filled condoms and put them in the fridge until she took them out to rub all over her face. Apparently she believed that cum was good for skin.   I stupidly never thought about asking my bud if his SO allowed cum on face for immediate skin treatment.

I also agree with the others Bros. First, stay calm and then get your self tested for STDs and HIV. I also suggest you do not make any other contact for the next 1 week. Good luck Bro.!

Yep.!!

When i was a kid, I always do this after each sex session with my GFs. We both want peace of mind.


As for bro. Kevlar, if you had check for dom breakage, you would have verify if the cum was yours.
Well, go for check up again after 3 mths.
Take care of your S.O....good luck bro.

Hello this is new information. Beleieve it or not told by my wife who works in Lab

No need to wait for 3 months now . There is a HIV DNA Test which can dedect HIV in 7 days of exposure. Although it is very expensive but will put mind at rest

The DNA test for HIV infection can detect the presence of the virus in the body much earlier than the standard test, usually around 7-10 days after infection. Here's how the two tests work.

Shortly after a person becomes infected with HIV, the body begins to make antibodies that specifically recognize HIV. Antibodies are proteins that try to fight off an infection. Each kind of antibody recognizes only the infection it is designed to fight.

In the case of HIV infection, these antibodies are not effective at fighting the virus. But, because they appear only after a person has been infected with HIV, their detection is useful as a diagnostic test. The HIV antibody test (also known as an ELISA or EIA) is the standard HIV test. The test doesn't look for the virus directly. Rather, it looks for the body's response to the virus, in the form of antibodies. It's an accurate test, but it can take 3 weeks to 6 months after infection for the body to produce a detectable amount of HIV-specific antibodies.

The DNA test (properly known as NAAT, for nucleic acid amplification testing) looks for HIV directly, and can detect its presence much earlier than the antibody test. (This test is very similar to the viral load test used to monitor whether an HIV-infected patient's medications are controlling the virus.)

There are several drawbacks to NAAT testing as a technique for detecting HIV infection, however. One is that it is actually too sensitive, meaning that it will sometimes give a positive result even though a person hasn't been infected. That can be upsetting. Therefore, any positive NAAT test needs to be followed up by a series of standard antibody tests to confirm that a patient is either infected or uninfected. Another drawback is that it is not widely offered as a test for detecting HIV, although some doctors will sometimes use a viral load test for this purpose.

firsrt... dont get paniced... second... 3 months later, go for your test... mostly it is a low risk to get it. As some other writer allready said.

why do you not want to go for a check up?
are you embarrassed?

if so, recommend you go to this place.

http://www.mhs.hk

other than STD testing, they also provide consultation on hair loss, pre-martial check-ups, regular check-ups.
so if you bump into someone you know, just say u are dropping hair, need to see a doc~!

Nice one...lol.

Not only that, they provide proper clarification on clitoris vs genital wart!!!

yeh somewhat embarrased and dunno what would happen..

cheers for the link dude..

Hey Kevlar

Think of it this way, shouldn't be any more embarrassing with what is involved in getting in this situation - getting naked and passionate with a complete stranger, walking out of the building and potentially bumping into a friend, colleague, boss etc.

You'll be in and out of there in no time.  They have seen it all  before and are not there to judge you, rather to encourage and help you.

And once you get that all clear you can forget the whole thing ever happened and sleep peacefully again.... or go for a celebration punt

Hey Kevlar,

Don't get freaked out and don't be embarrassed. The medical staff are all very professional wherever you go, and I think anyone who get it checked regularly should be respected as it is only the responsible thing to do.

It will also give you peace of mind. And let's say if you are that unlucky (and touch wood I hope you are all clear) and really caught something it's much better to get it treated early. With so much advancement with medical science you can really get a lot of help if you need it.

But like I said I hope all is good and you are all clear.

I know how it feels. I went through similar circumstances and it weight on my mind a lot beforeI went to the clinic, weight on my mind even a bit more waiting for the results, but it's all worthit in the end.

thanks everyone for all your support, really appreciate it..

so i guess the first step is to wait 3 months? or is it 6 weeks? for the first checkup.

i'l see how it goes and probably keep this thread updated in the future.

if i need any further advice, i know who to ask.

thanks and take care..

p.s: <--- no more happy condom face..
