Top Five Reasons to Hit On People at the STD Clinic!

Not that I'd likely ever do that in such a personal space, BUT...

Number 5) Direct evidence of sexual activity
Number 4) The fact that they're even getting tested means their more responsible than 95% of the human population.
Number 3) Body language in an STD clinic is about 80% more informative than normal. :)
Number 2) You can find out if they have a partner who cares enough to come along.

And...

NUMBER 1) If you date them in the near future, they can't say "Well, I'm usually up to date, but I haven't been tested recently..."


I went to the state clinic today to get my semi-regular STD screen. Not anticipating any problems, will post results here when I get them. Unfortunately not all of them will be available for Poly Big Fun, since the turnaround time on the HIV and one other is two weeks. I'm considering going to planned parenthood or something to get same-day HIV results, but my behavior recently has been conservative enough that I'm probably just going to take the results I *do* have by then with me and let anyone interested at PBF make their own informed decision.

I would think if you bring protection and take precautions you should be free to play. :)

You're probably right, but it's always better to have paper proof in hand. Negotiating safer sex standards is much easier when you have a verifiably clean bill of health, especially for stuff with where protection has a really high annoyance-to-risk-factor, oral sex being a good example.
