Worry Warts. Literally. (In response to 'getting your tackle out')

Well, you could always give people something more original than freshers' flu.

This is in response to the 'Is getting yer tackle out for the GP that bad?' thread, which I made over a week ago. Well, in short, the answer is no. It most certainly isn't. Unfortunately, the doctor could do nothing for me, as it was confirmed the small thing was indeed a wart. If there's anything to ever scare you into changing your ways, this is it.

I immediately rang up the local STI clinic to book an appointment. At this point, I feel embarrassed, angry at myself, stupid, the list could go on. I'm told that it's two weeks minimum for an appointment. My freshers week is in two weeks. I was, however, told that every morning at 8pm the place has a 'first come, first serve' clinic, that does most of the services of appointments.

So basically I'm going to be camped outside of said clinic at 7.45 because I really can't be doing with any more of this angst. I was told by the GP that 'inspected' me that once seen to, the whole horrible situation can be over within a week, after the applied 'solution' is applied to my solder. Anyhow, after a bit of reading, it's a pap smear test thing, which doesn't sound too pleasant, but I'll do anything for this to be over with.

Some of you may have had this experience yourselves. The rest of you will probably just say I'm stupid for not using a condom. Either way, I could do with a bit of banter.

There you go, a bit of banter. Next time use a CD

I work in STI clinic, you will not have a pap smear that is for women, however you will be offered a screen for all other STI infections and an HIV test as obviously if you have warts then you have been at risk Of other STIs. They are sympathetic and after youv'e been to the clinic you will feel that you understand how you have got it. be prepared though to tell your current/ex partners of the last 3 months because they too will be at risk.
hope all goes well

HPV can be easily contracted even with the use of a CD, as it is transmitted skin-to-skin, but then, I'm sure you've already done your research, being the bearer of such valuable advice..

Anybody got anything to add that isn't sarcastic?
