I do find it odd that my primary care doctor doesn’t automatically screen me for Herpes, I have to ask for it. They test for syp and HIV though…

It's dumb cause there are tons of DL men who won't even admit their sexuality to their doctor
I remember a doctor of mine straight up told me it's so hard for straight men to get hiv from vaginal sex they rather use the test on higher risk patients. he told me about a "super gonorrhea" that was spreading in the gay community back then too in the context he wouldn't test me for it since i'm straight
I remember walking away from that wondering why doctors would trust patients to tell the truth, i always lie to my doctor about whether i smoke or not
This is all truth.

That's why I be shocked when ppl come to the defense of DL men when they get outed.

Bruhhhhhh:gucci:
I was at a clinic years ago for my routine std test. I asked the CAC nurse can I get tested for herpes/HPV? She said: “you don’t need to test for it, it’s highly unlikely you have it.”

I said; “biiiitch :gucci: I never said I needed it, I asked to have it.” Then she told me to leave for being too “belligerent”.

I swear they deny us these services on purpose.
