I went to the gynocologist b/c i was having an odd discharge. she said she was going to test for infections and do a culture. when the bill came in there was $200 worth of std testing that didnt know she was testing me for. if she would have asked i could have told her there was no way i could have stds b/c i am a virgin & havent had sexual contact. is it my fault for not asking exactly what cultures she was testing me for or hers for not telling me she was testing for stds?

Did you inform her that you are not sexually active? If she didn't know she was just doing what she thought was right in trying to find out what was wrong with you. After all she said that she was going to test for infections. You should have asked what kind of infections?
I think its just lack of communication here and the fact that your doctor wanted to make sure all angles were covered

"test for infections and doing a culture" is what testing for STD's is. Both of these are infections.
Both Gonorrhea and Chlamydia can have an abnormal discharge as a symptom. Your doctor was practicing good medicine by testing for those.

in case you difficulty approximately your self, get your self examined. purely ask your wellness care provider to have the blood attempt performed. it relatively is completely conventional,so don't be embarrassed. while you're detrimental, i.e. have no hint of an std, then so is your boyfriend. yet once you attempt beneficial, you would be dealt with with, in all danger, penicillin pills and the an infection will clean up. you in addition to mght enable your boyfriend comprehend. even though, it variety of feels that your bare backing befell a little while in the past and that i could suspect that if an infection became into around, it could have enable its presence be conventional via now. nonetheless, get your self checked, just to be on the risk-free area. Oh, cripes! How previous are you? I do desire you're 18 or greater. faith is not any excuse for failing to apply risk-free practices measures. purchase a packet of condoms next time you save interior the mall or ask him to get them till now next time happens. If it relatively is not on then it relatively is not on!

Whenever I have had a doc do testing i was given a list or it was discussed with me so I could be informed. It's not fair to do that kind of testing without talking about it first. I feel the doc should be responsible for doing that.

Probably both. But your Dr should definitely know your sexual history, I am shocked at that!
