Even with regular testing, sometimes you still end up catching something, so I focus on treating it as soon as possible.
I have a clinic lined up that’s open for long hours, provides test results immediately, and can prescribe medication right away. If anything feels off, I either go straight to that clinic, or contact a friend who’s an internal medicine doctor. If I explain my symptoms, they can prescribe something immediately, so I go with whichever option can respond faster.
I’m particular about getting treatment quickly and take medication before things get worse.
> Several monthly arrangements, plus my boyfriend
As I mentioned before, based on interviews I conducted with around ten women who tested positive for STIs, they weren’t infected by their papas, but by men they were involved with without receiving money—boyfriends, fuck buddies, one-night stands, and so on. In other words, they caught STIs without even getting paid.
I think that’s because women tend to be more proactive and allow more things in relationships where they aren’t receiving money.
> Oral chlamydia and oral gonorrhea
This is also based on my own experience and interviews with women who were infected. Chlamydia and gonorrhea can apparently be transmitted through unprotected oral sex or kissing, but not through light kissing or simply licking a penis. The infections were transmitted through ejaculation in the mouth or intense oral sex, such as deep-throating.
Gonorrhea and chlamydia live in the mucous membranes of a man’s urethra, so logically, I think transmission requires bodily fluids from the urethra to come into contact with the mucous membranes deeper in the throat.
> I’m thinking of getting tested every month, but is that too often?
If you have sex several times a month with a boyfriend or a generous (well-paying) papa who enjoys intense oral sex or ejaculating in your mouth, then once a month seems fine. Otherwise, I think you only need to get tested after each time you have intense oral sex or someone ejaculates in your mouth.
As for when to get tested, the next day may be too soon, and the infection might not show up yet. That’s the tricky part. Maybe about two weeks afterward? That’s just my feeling, though.
> Is it possible to visit a clinic every month just for testing when I have no symptoms?
I know girls who did that, so I think it’s possible. However, insurance may not cover it, meaning you might have to pay out of pocket.
> Since Universe isn’t a sex-industry business, I’m not sure whether I should check this item.
I don’t think you need to check it.
> I’m also considering online testing, but I’m a little worried about whether it can provide reliable results without missing anything.
That’s exactly the issue. Especially for women, even if a sample taken from vaginal discharge or with a swab inserted just slightly into the vagina tests negative, it may not be reliable. Chlamydia and gonorrhea can be hiding deeper in the cervical mucous membranes, so I think you need to have the area properly opened with instruments and examined at a gynecologist’s office.
That said, throat tests use a gargle sample, so online testing might be fine for that.
For men, since the sample is urine, the reliability may not differ even with online testing.
For women, though, a gynecologist is essential for vaginal testing.
Even if you have no symptoms, you can still get tested—you’ll just have to pay out of pocket. Personally, I’ve had tests done several times in a single week.
Universe Club is not an adult entertainment establishment.
I don’t recommend self-collection tests, especially for women, because the anatomy of the female genital area is complex. If the sample isn’t collected properly, there’s a greater chance that the test results will be inaccurate.
Personally, I want to know the results as soon as possible, so I get tested at a clinic that has its own testing equipment.
