We go every sex months, we never have unsafe sex with anyone as our profile states (Except with each other)
We would never take that risk.
If other people want to do so, that is their affair and they may have their reasons. No doubt there are people on this site whom are hiv positive and others whom are less concerned about catching it, as we note from the regularity that bareback rooms pop up.
That is their decision, but we won't be breaking our rules. Condoms all round.
Maybe clinics elsewhere are very efficient, but here in the big smoke its an all day event. Hanging about waiting, people avoiding each other's looks etc. You have to do it when necessary but its not something, you would 'want' to do. So I am kind of sceptical about the idea of planning to attend a clinic if there is no real reason to do so.
On one end of the scale it would exceedingly 'dumb' to attend a clinic if you know you are clean, or moreso indeed if you haven't had sex in several years. On the other hand; you may wake up the morning after with raging vd and obviously have to attend a clinic asap.
There is perhaps a little too much information in the thread that could be misinterpreted.
About time someone said it out loud .... Sick to the back teeth of ppl playing with fire ... What dose it take to go for a check up ffs .... And its not just blokes its females as well ..... and make sure they test your mouth as well its better to be safe than sorry .......
I think what we shouldn't forget is that playing safe isn't a 100% guarantee that we will stay STI free.
Touching is enough to pass on certain infections. Not just hands on genitals but the putting on of a condom can pass STI's. No matter how safe 'we' think 'we' are, it isn't fool proof.
Just because I'm happy to say I have visited a GUM clinic even though we play safe, others may not. We have to respect others opinions and wishes without shouting them down :thumbup:

), hitch-hiked, spent a night on the pennines with only a bar of chocolate and bivouac sack in freezing fog (ummm, we got lost 
), spent 2 weeks over christmas and new year cycling round the lake district... WITHOUT MOBILE PHONES!!! (actually, at the time they weren't exactly widely available, but people take it sooo much for granted), met people from phone lines, internet that I didn't know and invited them to my own home, approached a rottweiler I didn't know.... good grief, the list goes on... the amount of things I wouldn't have done if "I only knew what was good for me"...
