So I went to get some testing done, and I knew the kid working at the front desk. Do you think he judged me?

Yes I think so.Most people get judged when they go for the testing.some people take you to be promiscous,careless or a reckless person who is afraid for the consequences of their act.They judge even if thats not true or even before you get your results.This is a stigma and it causes most people not to undergo the tests because of the fear of stigmatization.People ask 'why would anyone undergo the test if he/she knows that they are clean anyway?' This is wrong.Everyone should get tested to know their status.I hope you take care or your self and that your results were negative.if they were positive seek treatment.Do not be Stigmatized.Go out and get your treatment.Be well and take care.If you are negative,continue taking great care of yourself.

If anything, he should applaud you. It's smart and sensible to get STD testing. Honestly, I would have gone somewhere else if I saw someone I know behind the front desk.

sorry but yes. People judge you for many reasons. Even minor stupid things. Just know you're being more responsible by doing so and don't worry about what someone else thinks.

Yes but who the hell cares? You're just concerned with your health, there is NOTHING wrong with that. I'd rather have someone judge me than have a life threatening STD.

to healthcare workers it is a very common thing to ben tested and they're not going to be thinking negatively about you. He probably looked at it as a responsible thing. it's better to take care of yourself. And who cares if he did, he can't ever say anything cuz there's laws about that, he might not even know why you were there...you were taking care of yourself and that's the most important thing

Unfortunately depending on his age for one(maturity level) yes, but you know that what you did just possibly saved your life and the lives of whatever sexual partners you have. To know that your clean is the best feeling in the world, he makes fun of that then he must be trying to cover for something??

people will judge you for having brown eyes, blonde hair, liking the color green, enjoying movies...in short anything. YOu have to forget about the judgers and go about the business of living your life in order to be happy. Otherwise you are living a life for someone else and you will never please everyone else.
