How do men get tested for S.T.D's?

Question

How would a man be tested for S.T.D's such as Trich?

Answer 1

The doctor should
o Take a history of their sexual activity
o Examine the patient, particularly examining the genitalia (this would help to find genital warts, pubic lice, herpes, candida)
o Perform some investigations including
-- blood tests (particularly for Hepatitis and HIV)
-- first morning urine sample (this now replaces the more uncomfortable urethral swab test)

Trichomonas is often difficult to detect in males because it tends not to show up with many symptoms and visible signs. Sometimes it can be found on the urine test.

Answer 2

It bears mention that NOBODY is tested for EVERYTHING. Period. Although with enough time an effort, you might be able to test one person for everything, usually people only get tests that are significant and easy. One kind of disease that can be hard to test for with any amount of equipment is a retrovirus. These viruses will add stuff to your DNA and are completely incurable. Some of them will then just lurk in the background much of the time and then jump out all at once in an outbreak. Since you still have the DNA, you are infected, but since the DNA isn't being used when you're not having an outbreak, you generally don't show up on tests and can't infect other people. Such viruses include some of the many kinds of herpes (as you mention) and some of the dozens of kinds of Human Papillomavirus (or HPV). It's that latter one that a pap smear is intended to detect. When a male has HPV he won't show symptoms even when he does have an 'outbreak' most of the time. Many women are likewise mostly asymptomatic... but in their case HPV often leads to cervical cancer. Pap smears detect HPV indirectly by looking for cancer instead of looking for the virus (which isn't there much of the time). Since men don't generally get cancer from HPV you obviously can't do the same thing. It is common for men to have their testicles examined by a doctor to look for irregularities, though. Part of that test often involves volutarily coughing, and for some reason almost every doctor uses almost identical words, "turn your head to the left and cough". You may even see jokes around that expression if you watch the right kind of comedies...

Answer 3

I got identified with herpes simplex virus (type 2) about four yrs ago, whilst I was still attending college and had a foolish one-night stand. I realize a lot of people say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a huge mistake that one time and all of a sudden I felt like I was going to have to live with the implications for the rest of my life. The worst part was feeling I could never date men again. In the end, who wants to go out with someone that has sores around her private parts? But since a friend shared this video https://tr.im/uJjxI everything improved.

Not only was I able to eradicate all traces of the hsv from my system in less than 21 days, but I was also able to begin dating again. I even met the guy of my dreams and I'm so lucky to write that just last week, in front of everybody in a busy restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me! This system provided me the chance to be happy and experience real love again. Now I want to help others by sharing this story.
