Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / AIDS / July 2009Testing BEFORE sex. Postsex STD tests.
Post sex STD tests are a strategy--but what do they cause a person to do? Give up sex? Have less sex? Have more sex in order to "get even"? Testing before sex is a way to keep some sex from happening, and, consequently, prevent an STD. Post sex STD tests don't do that. Pre sex STD tests will save some lives--some people will back out of the possibility of sex with that partner. Others may be way more cautious. Still others might wait for non-HIV STDs to be cured, if available. >Post sex STD tests are a strategy--but what do they cause a person to >do? Give up sex? Have less sex?

I'm still waiting for you to share your own test results with us. Presumably you follow the advice you dish out: regular testing and sharing of results? >Still others might wait for non-HIV STDs to be cured, if available. We all know there will never be a cure for HIV. Boffins in white coats can't even find the virus. They gave up looking for it a quarter of a century ago!

I imagine that a hetero version of it would require both mail and femail, but beyond that my imagination is bamboozled in its entirety as to what "post sex" might involve. Or do you mean "post" in the sense of a stanchion or upright spar? In which case I and my imagination remain firmly in our former state of embafflement, understanding as we do the idea of sex with Poles, or sex with proles, but not sex with poles, even on Mayday. By the way, I understand that the Punctuation Police are being especially severe about missed-out hyphens this month. All the best, John.

Otherwise it makes more sense to have STD tests before sex. Of course, post sex testing isn't completely useless--some STDs can be treated, and the sooner the better. But you can only treat if you've been tested and know what you just acquired. > Otherwise it makes more sense to have STD tests before sex.

You need to get tested immediately. Let me know your results. My test results are negative for all tests. >> Otherwise it makes more sense to have STD tests before sex.

Whatever you're promoting, that's not a sales pitch that's likely to get very far on this newsgroup! (Besides, as far as I know, sex is usually something that people do on purpose, so phrasing your comments as if sex is something that just "happens" unless specific efforts are made to keep it from happening is likely to be viewed as a disrespectful denial of agency by some of your readers.) -dazy v > thezak wrote in soc.bi: > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > -dazy v Not eating too much is a way to keep overweight from happening. Some people manage to do that even if they don't have to work hard to get hungry. It happens naturally, without a single thought that you want to get hungry. If you never eat again you will die. If you never have sex again you will not die. I'm wondering which is the stronger impulse? Post sex STD tests are a strategy--but what do they cause a person to do? Give up sex? Have less sex?

Plenty of people have sex without thinking through its ramifications on many levels including physical safety, pregnancy and emotions. Many people simply opt to try and get sexual things going first and ask questions later. Orlando >Many people simply opt to try and get sexual things going first and > World Domination later. IFYPFY.
