Limited anonymity.

Your identity will be made known to all health agencies, some government departments, etc, etc. if you have HIV/AIDS.

You will also be monitored because there are rules like you have to inform your future sex partners, etc. They may also want to trace who you have sex with in order to see whether these people were affected or not. Things like that.

But if you want to be sure whether you have HIV or not, take the test.

If it is just STD, I won't be monitored, and my identity won't be made known to govt agencies, right? Pls enlighten me, thanks.....

If it is just STD, it will only be on your medical records, which all govt hospitals and clinics will have access to since the system is integrated and online. Not too sure about private hospitals.

Go to any clinic in JB. I think most of them does HIV blood test. If they don't, they will be able to refer one to you.

Yesterday I had duck rice for lunch, in the evening I had a flat tyre. Whaa! Must never take duck rice for lunch or I will get a flat tyre?

I think you're unduly worried. But if it will ease your conscience, go and consult any GP first.

Anyway, why you afraid ppl witness? They couldn't be bothered with you lah. If it is someone you recognise, hey why the F is he there for? Means you got kaki mah...



By the way, I'm not doctor or, just my 2 cents worth

Dear bros.. please read the 1st post in this thread. There is aynonomous testing conducted by AFA on Sat and Wed, meaning no need any IC, just pay money and check and get results in 20min. Also please do check for the sake of yourselves and loved ones. Some ppl because they did one time raw will keep continue cos they delude themselves say already do one time do one more time never mind. In e end because of this they pay the ultimate price. At my last checkup the afa workers told me that the highest causes of hiv in singapore come from overseas infections and unprotected sex with streetwalkers

The bottom line is to use condoms for all forms of sex. And if your mouth has to come into contact with a woman's vagina, use a dental dam, available at your local pharmacy.

Is it gona be very crowded during these anonymous gathering?

Hi bro:

Good clarification job on the overly anxious queries above. But one point to note though (below).

The DSC Clinic does not share its records, particularly those detailing who kena which STD, with other govt hospitals and clinics. Billing and payments maybe. And certainly the exception is if an unfortunate person got HIV+ status and the DSC knows of it--then it is required by law (not just by policy) to notify government bodies.

At least that is what the DSC Clinic says.

Difficult to tell. But usually if there's been some major public announcement of HIV infection figures, the Wednesday or Saturday immediately after that will see quite a lot of really chuak brothers going for the tests. Sometimes you can also see them bringing along an FL for check up with them.

In reply to your question, a dental dam is a sheet of latex which acts as a barrier between the vagina or anus and the mouth. It provides some protection against HIV transmission and other STIs.

The dental dam should be spread across a woman's vagina to prevent exchange of bodily fluids. Using a water-based lubricant on the vagina side of the dental dam may help to keep it in place.

Do talk to your neighbourhood pharmacist.
