i didn't say they were ugly. i said they were nasty in the sense of not being disease free. chances are that if you have sex with a chick who has std's, there are other nasty chicks you've banged, too. what i'm trying to say is that safety isn't exactly a priority of yours when it comes to sex and if a girl is ok with that, she's nasty and might have a disease or something.

More incorrect assumptions. Thanks to those that provided useful input, though.

you banged some pretty nasty chicks, so congrats to giving your gf a whole variety of hpv strains (thus increasing her chances of getting cervical cancer). yes, you should suggest she be tested for the clap and chlamydia.

This is both uncalled for and frankly pretty ignorant. Shit happens sometimes, you don't have to be "nasty". Condoms fail from time to time, and you never know what the other person may or may not have - it has nothing to do with being "nasty," especially considering that, as you said, a lot of people don't show symptoms and thus never know they have anything.

You are correct that she should get tested, but your attitude here is laughably infantile.

After going to my girlfriend's doctor appointment with her and speaking to her doctor (who happens to be the director of adolescent health, so she has plenty of experience with STD's) I've decided the doctor I went to is a quack. My girlfriend is being treated with the same antibiotics that I was given and being tested so we should get some conclusive results. At least this doctor agreed with the treatment so I can be confident that the treatment was appropriate and effective. One week until we can resume "activities."

where'd you get the stds from, a vending machine?

I still worry I can catch them from eating fast food D:

vending machines should be safe, unless you have a decrepit vending machine employee who licks the top of all the soda cans with an open sore before placing them in the refrigerated machine.

proof that any idiot can become a chiropractor.

uh, dumbass, i was being facetious. read the whole thread.

also, my post could easily have been proof that a chiropractor can also be a better doctor than a medical doctor, considering the op's experience with his doctor who said that his gf shouldn't get tested/treated.

bush was proof that any idiot can be the president
you're proof that any idiot can become a janitor
the op's doctor was proof that any idiot can become a medical doctor
anyone idiot can be anything they want as long as they know how to work the system and have connections

That's nothing. I once had a girlfriend who got one from sitting on a tractor.

That's a pretty bold (and incorrect) statement for someone that doesn't know a damn thing about me.

he dated a stripper but couldn't handle it.

In reality, STD's aren't exclusive to the promiscous.

It'd just get a re-test and see what you have.

If negative, no need to bring out the STD police.

If positive, then anyone you are fucking should be tested too.

Cool, someone who deals with adolescents will most likely treat empirically when confronted with possible STDs. Did you two go for the gold and spring for the urine LCR/PCR? Feel free to PM if you dont feel comfortable answering that one in public.

Yes, she had a urine test and it came back negative for both but was treated anyway at the time she gave the sample. So now we're back to wondering what it was.
