I recently had a bbbj, and now have some very slight discharge, ( mucous consistency, and dries hard and crusty) and a very mild sensation inside my penis. I see and feel no other symptoms. what might this be? and where is the std clinic? for those of us in the tricity area.

I'm going to the clinic later today.
when I find out what it is exactly, I'll post the name of the SP.
She has not advertised in the last two weeks.
thanks

Thanks guys, for your support.
I just returned from the clinic, had all kinds of testing.
I think that (because it's an STD clinic maybe) they do not inform your significant other. If they did contact your significant other, then people may be less inclined to go to the clinic.
I don't find out for a week, but will post info when I find out.

Hi kits-kid

It is hard to diagnose conditions over the internet but from the symptoms you describe it sounds like it could be chlamydia, gonorrhea or NGU (non gonococcal urethritis). All could pass from a bbbj and all three can be treated with antibiotics.

I have spoken to the people at the Newport public health unit (they are responsible for the tricity area) and all they have is a youth clinic. You can only go there if you are under 21 and the number is 604-949-7243.

New Westminster Health Unit would probably be the nearest.
604-777-6789
537 Carnarvon, New Westminster

Here is also a link to our main clinic in Vancouver

Here is a link to a list of clinics in BC.

You can also visit any doctor’s office as they would be able to do the test as well as prescribe you some medication.

Just PM me if you need any specific information.

And symptoms for the above conditions once infected typically manifest themselves within a week or two? Followed by meds for 7 days to 10 days?

Hi Noob888

It really depends on what is causing the problem. Gonorrhea can show up in a matter of days while infections like chlamydia could take 6 weeks. If there are no complications they would give medication for usually 1 week.

Hi Kits-kid

Glad to hear that you were able to find a clinic.

I would really advice against posting the details of the SP on PERB if your test is positive. Instead give the SP details to the healthcare people you saw at the clinic. They would be able to inform her in a confidential and friendly way that she would need testing and medication. If you are unable to do this just send a PM to me and we can work something out.

It is really common for people to have chlamydia or gonorrhea in the throat and have no symptoms (they feel fine). Many medical clinics do not do throat swabs for gonorrhea and we do not have a test yet that can be used to check for chlamydia in the throat.

The SP may not know that she has this and we would prefer to deal with it confidentially rather than a public announcement that could cause undue distress. We are trying to encourage people to go for testing rather than increase the negative stigma associated with sexually transmitted infections. Even if someone had gonorrhea or chlamydia all they need to do is take the medication and wait one week.

sp info

It was never my intention to post any information on this provider.
I have PM'd the Health Nurse, and asked what I should do.
The HN suggested that I wait for the results, and then contact the STD clinic. They will take it from there, but I will not be posting any information.
Thanks

Once the results come back, if positive, the doctor HAS to by law record all the info and then get your spouse or SO involved. No doctor in BC will take the risk of losing his/her license to protect a patient he doesn`t know. See here: https://perb.cc/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=85839


Hi Noob888

There is a law called the VD act that states that partners of a reportable STI (gonorrhea, chlamydia or syphilis) are required to be tested and treated.

Infections like herpes, pubic lice (crabs), Trichomonas, genital warts, non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) etc… are not reportable infections and are not covered under the VD act.

If you test positive the first thing we do is give you treatment and then discuss partners. The partners you need to tell really depend on what type of infection you have.

For infections like gonorrhea and chlamydia we will ask about partners in the last 2 months.

For syphilis we go back either 3 months, 6 months or 1 year depending on what stage of syphilis.

Partners can be informed either by the person who tested positive or by the person following up on the case. Most doctors in BC either get the client to tell their partners or if the client does not want to they will usually pass it on to the public health nurses to call.

When the public health nurse calls they never give the details of the person who tested positive. They usually just say “someone who is concerned about you wanted you to know that…….

If you have a spouse or SO we will encourage you to tell them rather than public health giving them a call. Also I have seen many occasions where the spouse or SO don’t have to be involved because the client is not having sex with them.

We would never contact your spouse without working out a plan with you. We understand that this is a very difficult situation with potential life changing outcomes. I have been involved with situations where we coach the person on what to say as well as times where we can be present to provide support.

In most situations we find that the person who tested positive is concerned about their partner and wants them to get treatment as there can be serious outcomes to having an STI if it is not treated. Also if your partner is not treated there is a good chance that you will get the infection back again.

If anyone wants anymore information about this topic just let me know.

If you ever need any help with this process just let me know.

So health nurse.

What happens in the case of a SP? Does the agency or MP contact the list of clients that SP has seen? I don't think that's possible as most do not leave names and numbers. So how does the VD act take that into consideration? IU assume that agencies get their workers tested pretty frequently but even despite that I assume the cases of various VD are reported and have to dealt with?


Hi symbiosis

I have dealt with this situation a few times. The SP always has the option of telling the client themselves. If they would prefer not to do this and they have the details of the client we can always give them a call and tell them.

When we call someone we usually say “someone who is concerned about you wanted you to know that …….” In this situation we would never give the details of the SP to the person we called. We do not even need to know the clients real name all we need is their phone number or email.

If the SP, agency or MP does not know the details of their clients it is not possible to do any follow up. This can be a common situation in sex work and that is why we always encourage SP and their clients to do their own testing on a regular basis.

Let us know if you want us to expand on a topic. Remember if you would like to ask me a personal question just send me a PM.
