For those using hi precision, honor naman ang med cards natin when it comes to these tests? Newbie lang and want to make sure na ma-maximize din ang med cards. Thanks

Yes, though you'd need to get it reco'd by ur physician and provider before you can get the test.

At least that's my experience with maxicare for other tests.

I tend to do it out of pocket for std tests.

Bad news folks, price update on the ct / gc / tv pcr urine test in hi precision, looks like they recently changed this to ct/ng pcr urine and tagged it as a special test.. not only is it testing for one less item, the price is now at 9450 from 3800+.

Might just go back to good old urine culture testing for those things moving forward.

Update for everyone, price is now 3000 for ct/ng which is still good.

Which brings the total package 18 with the optional ct/ng to 5.2k

Overall package is now comparable to loveyourself's 5 in 1 premium std package test(4.5k) and might be even better since hi precision uses the more modern ag/ab hiv test along with cbc and urinalysis.

I'm not sure of that, but it's this one: Bioline HIV-1/2 3.0 | Abbott Point of Care (globalpointofcare.abbott)

Ah, this is 3rd gen antibody only.

Pwede ka ba magkainfection kahit lagi kang naka CD? 

Pwede padin sir, herpes/syphillis/HPV can still infect you due to the nature of how they're passed.

Iwas nalang din sa oral sex and french kissing para reduced risk.

oks sir. pumunta ko kanina for the 5 in 1. negative sa HIV hehe. tama 5-10 days sabi kanina sakin for other tests tas email na lang nila.

 

Do we know if the HIV test they're using is 3rd gen ab(antibody only) or 4th gen ag/ab(antigen/antibody)?

I suggest looking into prep at the very least for those who prefer doing it live.. at least you'll have one less std to worry about.

Yung HIV result nalalaman agad within minutes after magpa test, yung sa iba is ipapadala sa email in pdf yung result. Usually sinasabi nila na 5-10 days yung result pero from my experience mas maaga ko nakukuha vs sinasabi nila, most of the time after 2 days may email na nung result with signature from the pathologist and med tech. 

Nice, thanks for sharing sir!

gaano katagal lumabas ang results for 5 in 1 ng Loveyourself? I scheduled for them on Friday.

Might be best to simply inquire with them boss or call them. Please do share once u get the info, I'm curious din. Thanks!

Where is it best to get tested?

As long as it's a reputable clinic/hospital you should be fine.

Of course we have our own biases, with mine being hi-precision.. other gm's have pointed out myhealth and loveyourself.

For everyone's reference

Mga sirs.... what will appear in the urinalysis that indicates you may have chlamydia or gono? Salamat sa sasagot.

It's hard to tell sir, it can be mucus thread, high bacteria, high wbc.. but it can also be all in the normal range but you'd still be infected.. it's not a reliable method for knowing 100% if you have either of those infections as other factors can come into play.

It would be best to simply test specifically for those infections instead.

You can try checking out Myhealth.ph 2500 lang yung offer nila for 5 in 1 test 

This is the same as hi precision's std screening package 18.. and myhealth is a little bit more expensive with their red package.

I usually avail the their 5 in 1 every 3 months for my routine testing 

That's good to know, I might try this moving forward as a more practical option over hi precision. Thanks!

How about Loveyourself?

• STD Consultation - 500

It's by appointment though...

Yeah, one of the other gm's in the thread reco'd this before. He mentioned it as an option, not sure if he went through with it though.

Oo, nagulat nalang ako sa damage for my usual testing e. Hopefully temporary lang to, di kasi reliable sa urine culture ang check for gono e.

Hindi kaya sa live ka nadadale?

Nope, since mostly retired and regularly tested ang nakakalive ko.. with respect to window periods. unlike most gm's here, I sponsor the medical checkups of my favorites.. I actually get to see their results as I pay for them along with treatment if necessary.

I'd wager the women most gm's hook up with are more liable since those aren't screened at all.

Sure, easy to pretty much label everything as unsafe.. and yeah, nothing's perfect, but it's still safer than what most gm's here do.

I actually practice safe sex with unknown partners, but of course, like my recent condom slip, accidents happen.

The only real safe practice is celibacy.

Kahit nadale na kau sir hindi pa kau nadadala? Hehe

The usual cycle is.. after treatment sasabihin ko sa sarili ko tama na, magbabago na ko.. I'll stop for a few weeks or months, then the urge becomes too much and I start again with my favorites who I have screened/tested regularly..(meaning I do go live on them)

If I stopped there, I'd probably have less headaches.. but every now and then I see fresh meat here that peaks my curiosity.. that's usually where my problems begin.. even when I try to play it safe when I'm exploring.. a condom slips, breaks... or couldn't resist dfk... or getting a bbbj.. then the cycle repeats.

Kakatakot yan ah. Glad to be getting out while I only have the treatable one. I don't want any more very expensive lessons personally speaking. 

Also tanong mo si Dr. Yang kung ano ang prevalent sa mga area na pinupuntahan mo, he'll give the general info and prevalence per area since kumakalat na nga daw talaga ang chla at gono. 

Buti ka pa sir, masyado yata akong manyakis to stop long term.. I just play it "safer" with cd usage, avoiding certain acts, and trying to choose more carefully on partners/theras.(not a full proof plan)

Yep, I'll ask him the usuals once I get back there this week.. syphillis is actually on the rise if you follow his page.

I'm on pep again.. 🥲 as a precaution, unfortunately, one of my encounters last sunday early morning did not go so well as the condom slipped during the session.. while I did notice and pulled out almost immediately, I was still technically "live" for a few seconds.

I went straight to hi precision for my baseline std screening, and got my pep within 8 hours of the incident..(I kept a few pills from my last one) they do say the earlier you take it, the more effective it is. Hopefully, the side effects for this course of pep isn't as bad as the last time.

I'm going to visit Dr. Yang again this week for the consult if antibiotics will be needed, so far, aside from the effects of pep, I'm feeling pretty normal.

Well, seems weird to edit my previous post for an update.

Update: I tested negative/nonreactive for the life-destroying three included in the Hi-Precision package (HIV, Hepatitis, Syphilis). Even with these happy results, tigil na ako. If you continue, please practice safe sex. HJ na lang ang pinamamaximum if kaya, and leave anything more for a committed relationship.

Will test again three months later just to be sure I am truly free. Reminds me of a post here. Spa attendants and MPAs regularly test for HIV, but not the other ones. 

Kahit 6 weeks lang sir instead of 3 months since 4th gen ag/ab test naman ang gamit nila sa hi precision.

Also, based on the feedback I've gotten most do not even test for hiv regularly.. papsmear lng ang regular.

Mahahawa ka rin ba thru kiss or oral sex ng HIV?

For HIV, chances are very low.. but of course.. there are factors that might increase that.. e.g. bleeding gums, open wounds on the penis..

You're more likely to get other std's
