Anyone care to share their experiences at DSC?

Hi people. Just wondering if anyone would care to share their experiences at the DSC. I decided to do this as i think that there are many people who wanna go there but too scared or unsure. This is one way for people to find out more. Information is power. I went there on a wednesday. It was damn scary. I decided to go in the morning ..thought it would be better. I arrived there and went in. The place was like any other clinic but environment is full of tension. An unsmiling clerk asked me to pay $12 to register. Got my file done and the bugger ask me for phone number ..which I reluctantly gave. I was then given a number and told to wait at room 18. Saw many people. Chinese, Indian foreign workers, People from Shenton way crowd, Ahbengs, Mats and tough looking Indian fellows. Sat and marvelled at the pictures of rotting cocks and cunts around me. All designed to remind us of our sins I guess. I heard a giggle, Look around and saw a couple of PRC looking gals 9Damn cute though!!). A fragile looking apek looked at me, probably trying to guess why I am here. My number came up and I went in. Clerk to me to go another room . I waited again and saw the doc finally. He ask me what was my exposure like and do i do it raw...all sort of of questions. Further conversation revealed it takes 1 week for HiV results to be processed but I decided to go for the 15min anoymous thing that day. He nodded and told the nurse that I was to have my money refunded. This because I didnt go for any check there so dun owe em money. So i waited till 6.30pm...

hmmm.... but how u know ur "regular" partners dun hav their regular partners, or they dun ONS or go find WL? unless u stick to just one partner (n a good one), better go check up regularly. If nothing else, at least it gives u a peace of mind.

Hey ppl,... if you have a very active sex life, then its a given that you need to do checkups once every 6 months. If you are embarrassed or afraid to walk into public clinics then PM me for one of the best private doctor who specialises in STD etc.

BTW, this doctor is also on the panel that judges the Ms Universe & Ms Singapore pagents... so he is NO quack.

Samster Blue Girl & Safe,... have you validated my info regarding contraceptives that i mentioned inder the thread 'Morning Pills'.

Be happy but always be safe...

Thanks Safe, AsianCigar and others for replying to the new thread!. Really glad got people concern about this. Anyway I think there are lots of pp who wanna go checkup. Until one does, peace of mind can never be attain. Every ache, pain, blister, discolouration, sniffle, tummy ache and cough will be worried upon with a slight fear that it could mean something else. Go for check and get cleared. To continue me story, I went for the Anonymous checkup. It was harrowing. A few angmos, gays and smartly dressed people there. All trying to be relaxed but tension all around. I paid $20, wrote a dumb form and waited for my number. Soon I met counsellor, she was nice, gave me advice and then I went to get pricked. They only need a drop of blood. I saw them put the blood on a strip. They told me its 100% accurate. If I have HIV the strip would show 2 lines. If got only 1 line then its negative. I was wide eyed by then, damn scared. after that I waited outside. I saw one Ahbeng looking damn stressed waiting for his turn. One gay couple hold each others hand. After 15min of waiting they call my number. I went in the room and met the same counsellor. She went straight to the point and told me I only had 1 line on strip. I felt as if a 3 tonner rolled over me. She smiled and told me that if I wanna be sure can come back to do again but she say no need cause test is 100% accurate. I said we'll see. Left the place fast. Lighted a ciggy...it never tasted so good.

asiancigar tahnks. Took a lot of guts man to go for it. I decided not to live in shithole anymore. Kill fear by meeting it head on. One Ahpek i talk to there went for checkup 6months ago. He then siam until that day he decided to know his results. He said it was 6months of hell . Fuck...I dun wanna wait like that ass. Do it fast better. Gunshot blast to the head is preferrable instead of slowly rotting away....

Hi. Congrat on ur result. Alot of pple dun understand the need to get tested. Is not that u will die immediately if +ve. On the contary, the later u find out the more difficult to treat...refering to all stds. Im sure u feel like a new man!

collin_23 · #12 12-04-2004, 11:24 AM

Bro catlover,

Congratulations on your results. Hope your good luck will rub off on bros and sisters here who have not took the test. I used to be afraid of knowing the results but one day, I sat down and looked at my parents, they r old already and need me to take care of them. Being children, it is our responsibility to take care of them. So I went for the test and heaved a sign of relief when I was cleared. Yep, I took the open test, getting the results in 1 week cause I want to remember this experience and not to repeat the same mistakes again.

Friends here, I feel your lost and seek your suffering as I used to be scared of knowing the test results too. As bros here have said, the first step is always not easy. For your parents, those who loved u and most importantly yourself, your future husband or wife, kids, grandchildren and future generations, go for the test. I know it is not easy but y be afraid of something that has already happened.

Hoping to see more friends coming forward to tell us that they were cleared and is living life more happily and exercise more cautions when cheonging. Happy 1 day, not happy also 1 day, y be so hard on yourself.

My blessings to all.

Thanks guys. Its really great to have all these great replies. I know a lot of people who are living in a self imposed world of shit. You can tell from the way they talk...u can sense their fear..not knowing whether they are have it or not. The more the mind dwells in shit...the more it becomes shit. Result is you think shit..and this affects one physiologically in more ways then one i observed..their bodies think that they have HIV and began to have symptoms similar to HIV because the body is reacting to waht the mind is saying. F..K the fear...take it by is neck and kill it...stop living in fear.

Hello everyone, I think I can relate to everyones fear and worry. I myself have not been tested and am very afraid to face the reality and rather live in denial for as long as self denial permits.

After reading the replies of so many bros, I feel much guilt and regret over my ignorance. In one of my drunken stupors, I have done one prc night club gal raw and even though its been more than a year now, i am still very scared. The more i think about it the more stupid i feel. I try to deceive myself by looking up articles on how difficult it is to contract HIV but all it needs is that one hit and I'll face the death sentence. I have been treated for gonorhea b4 and I realise that my body's immune system is not good (neither is my luck). Right now Im just playing the waiting game and for someone to tell me I'm luckier than that....

Many of my frens live a life of danger, choosing raw over protection for the sake of thrill. I take that as a consolation to my predicament. But I doubt there would be any consolation when one day I come back here to tell everyone one more comrad has been KIA.
