Answer is no because they will share with "third parties" somewhere including the state and federal governments.

It is better to take test and find out sooner than not to take test and spread unknown std elsewhere.

check stdcheck.com
They have a section that talks about privacy, and it says they are confidential. I got tested through them, came out negative on all tests, so i cant tell about their confidentiality.

one thing i noticed is that they use independent small hospitals to draw ur blood. the hospital doesnt get ur tests results, but they do know u went there to draw blood.

any and all STD testing is confidential with regards to personal privacy, however if there is anything positive they do report it to the state but just as a confirmed case , gender, and age - no info besides that.

I'm gonna stdcheck.com and get tested when I'm off. After drinking last night my penis had some red spots, but after a good night of sleep it's gone., I always use a condom hopefully it's not an std.

If you always use a condom you shouldn't be too worry. It's the bbfs especially in the back door present the greatest risk of catching the serious std.

You'll need to go to a dermatologist because things like HPV or HSV don't show up in the blood. HSV antibodies can show up as late as 3 months after infection. So you'll need a skin swab, ensure it's been at least 6 hours before your last shower otherwise they won't be able to detect it. Could also be molluscum.

In some cases either of those are so mild they go away too quickly before you can get an appointment. Unfortunately you'll need to wait until the bumps come back, in the meanwhile start finding dermatologist practices now. Even an inexperienced junior level dermatologist can conduct a skin swab. Be adamant you want to test for any sort of skin STD and have them send it to the lab.

If they can't immediately tell it's molluscum then wait for results. If it's molluscum then simply get cryotherapy in the same visit. About 5-10 targeted blasts using the gun for each bump usually does the trick depending on size. Same approach for HPV warts. The skin will become hard and slough off after 3-4 days. In the meantime use dove soap or another gentle cleanser on the area and don't exfoliate or rub the area roughly until it heals.

Pretty sure we all got herpes if you ever kissed an escort or rubbed skin to skin. Its just cold sores nbd and theres medication to prevent transmission.

HSV 1 doesn't cause flat/rough dry patches of skin and redness usually. Yes I would see a dermatologist.

It is possible it's simply eczema or contact dermatitis. The pH of some vaginas can be off and cause irritation to the penis occasionally.

I am circumcised and sometimes the foreskin area between the shaft and the head gets a dry rough patch. It feels exactly the same as eczema on another part of the body I get occasionally. I just put Hydrocortisone or Triamcinolone on and it's back to normal after 48 hours.

it seems to look like balanitis as i search more and more on web
The more you search on the web, the more stressed out you’ll get. Yes, balanitis is a possibility, it could also be something minor like a fungal infection. I’ve had a fungal infection, treated by either a lotion applied directly to the affected area. Whatever it is you have it can be treated by a dermatologist. As far as HSV1 goes, I have it as well, but I don’t get any outbreaks, most of the general population is HSV 1 positive, it’s not considered a stigma anymore. In addition, you may not have gotten HSV1 from a provider, maybe from a civilian. Tha’s how I got it. Anyway, see a doctor and stay safe.

Most people get HSV1 from relatives kissing them as a child on the lips or later as a young kid kissing some random girl in school. Unless you go to an STD clinic they are not really going to test for it.

That's a very good point. Being paranoid vs being informed will make a huge difference in enjoying this hobby.
