This is how it SHOULD be
This morning I woke up excited because I have a hot date this weekend. Only problem is I’m overdue to get tested. The last time was at a walk in clinic and they really gave me the run around; long wait, having to answer intimate questions… multiple times, ultimately being prescribed meds that didn’t work resulting in repeat visits. It had been a nightmare and frankly was the reason I hadn’t kept up with getting tested regularly. I’ve heard about Testie from the Seggs Talk Radio podcast and figured I should at least look at the website. I figured if there even was a testing location in my region it’d be at least a 30 minute drive. I was pleasantly surprised to see that there’s a testing location just over one mile away from home. Next up, scheduling an appointment. I assumed there’d be nothing available today, I’d probably have to schedule it for later in the week or even next week but no, there were 3 appointments available within the hour! So I picked one, paid online, printed out my paperwork and immediately got a confirmation email. The whole thing took 5 minutes! I arrived at the testing site about a half hour later, checked in, gave my paperwork to the receptionist, was immediately shown to the examination room, drew some blood, gave a urine sample, and was sent on my way. No wait, no complicated paperwork, no pointlessly taking my vitals, no embarrassing questions, reasonably priced, results guaranteed before my date in a few days, and best of all it was over less than an hour after I first had the idea to go get tested! This is the way STI testing should be, should have always been, highly recommend.
