Most STDs begin with cold like symptoms.

One of my most expensive adventures was with a stripper. I had a blast that night, then I woke up with a cold, a sore throat, fatigue. Google made me have a panic attack. I went and got tested, came back clean. Was very very very lucky.

I got too drunk and played explorer with that woman in a way a person should only play with a life partner.

Wasn’t worth it. 3 out of 5 stars.

I later found out that the local clinic would have tested me for free. Go figure. No insurance and a visit to a regular doctor made that my 3rd most expensive lay.

Last part was kind of a boomer joke. :p

if you didn’t go and get tested 2-3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after the fact, you should go get tested again. bc of window periods, it’s likely your clean test could have been a false negative. even if it’s been a long time, some std’s are asymptomatic and sit in your body for years. just in case you should get tested again, and specifically request tests for things like HPV that are not included in a standard “full” panel test

Oh yeah it wasn’t immediate. It was months down the road when my ex and I decided to work it out.

I’ve had three children since then and my wife has been tested so I think we’re good.

Thank you for the advice and information though.

sorry not to come off as didactic, i just get worried about when i hear people talk about testing. i see a lot of young people not understand how to actually confirm negative results and it scares me

Oh no, I appreciate your comment. Someone might come across the thread later and need that info.

That was your THIRD most expensive lay? Tell us about your two most expensive lays 😳

Oh it was really just a joke about ex wives haha.

As ex wives go, I actually didn’t do terrible. We had our issues and got past them for the most part.
