Very welcome! Please help share the link with our friends in the community. Thank you very much. Quote
Guest Keybox Member Card Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 I wonder if it would be possible for AfA and/or other similar groups to create a small booklet with simple descriptions of the main STDs and the contact information of places to get tested? The info should be brief and to-the-point -- what are the main STDs (gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, pubic lice, genital warts, herpes, HPV, HIV, etc.) / how are they spread / what are the symptoms / what are the consequences -- so on and so forth. Free booklets would be set up in obvious spots and available to take at places like saunas and bars. Maybe this has been done before? Perhaps there are government restrictions on exactly what can be put into print? But something needs to be done. A lot of people, especially teenagers, are becoming sexually active with almost no knowledge of STDs. I've met guys at saunas who said they didn't know how HIV is spread and had never even heard of chlamydia for example. This is a serious problem in a highly educated country. I know a simple pocket-sized booklet with info in four languages will not solve everything but it is a start. Quote

We are continuing to work with DSC to create a safe space for our community to test and treat without the fear. DSC has many booklets on the different STIs and one particular for the gay/bi men. We will ask DSC if we can take some to place them in the sauna. Thank you for the suggestion. Also, if you know any young gay/bi men under 25 years old, we have a programme for them, Pink Carpet Y (Youth) aims to educate young men on the HIV/STIs through a Drop-In centre. Email the coordinator pcy@gayhealth.sg for more info. mike_amk 1 Quote

Took 2 tests - HIV and Syphilis, and they ended up giving me both tests for free. Donated $30 anyway, since I was actually mentally prepared to pay for both tests. Thank you ! Quote
Guest guest curious Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 http://afa.org.sg/free-test-coupon/ What about this eh? is it the same thing? it says " *For Heterosexual Outreach Programme Only " at the bottom. Quote
Butterscotch Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 Was informed that they will be rolling out the free testing again from the second half of this year onwards. Hopefully it'll be true. Quote
Guest worriedboy Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 Hi Blowing Wind. I'm 18, and i think i got Gonnorhea. I cross-checked the symptomps online and it's happening to me. Is there any clinic you know of that i could get treated at other than the DSC Clinic (I made an appointment but it's next Thursday and my penis is really hurting right now, and i don't think i can wait that long. )And how much is the price? I've saved using my Angpao money around 100sgd... Is that going to be enough? Please, please let me know. Quote

Enchante Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 Go to any GP clinics and the doctor should be able to diagnose and prescribe you antibiotics. Seeing a doctor for Gonorrhea will not affect your future job or career. Quote
Mr lemon Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 Just go see doctor and they will advise you according rather than google your symptom. Quote

kidster Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 DSC does allow walk-in in case you are not aware. You just need to pay an extra $5 and tell them you are very willing to wait. As it still depends on the no. of registered patients for the day. Be the first few to arrive at the door to show your sincerity. Please call to confirm in case the rules have changed. Get well soon!

LeGrad Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 9 hours ago, Guest worriedboy said: If i go normal clinic will my future like work etc be affected? I wouldn't worry about your future. Companies won't have access to your health history. Also, self diagnosing is a big no-no. It might be something completely different from what you think it is. Go see a doctor and get it sorted out as quickly as you can. And don't stress yourself out. It's curable and preventable. Quote
LeGrad Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Also, if you need someone to accompany you to see a doc, feel free to PM me. I know it can be daunting / scary to go alone. Im just letting you know that you don’t have to. dazza1201 1 Quote

lovehandle Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 any clinics have the same cure , nt just Dr Tan. not 1 has special super medicine in curing STIsthe only super types we have is: Super gonorrhoea: Why the STI could become untreatable? I trust all have read about it: Just now, LeanMature said: TS already booked appointment for next Thursday but he can't wait too long. Yes, LeanM we know clearly! many jumped into it w/o reading , ended up the same point repeated again and again Quote
lovehandle Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 neither will i wanna step (even near to) into DSC First, any other clinics have the same cure/medicine, most importantly efficient and time-saving, instantly it is your turn 2nd, (the moment u enter a DSC out of blue, i know u must be having some form of sexual contacts, wanna clarify abt Hiv or STIs) lots of biz and hawker food patron is around there too, clearly tell others what u r there for (DSC wasted everyone's time on booking appointment and it is a long wait for your arrival) i dont think DSC is cheap too (u can google for its price too)- only 1 outlet Quote
