Checking all this dudes reviews now.
If it's HSV or molluscum don't bother. It is widespread.

But not everyone gets symptoms or catches it.

As long as you don't go raw, DATY or DFK that's all you can realistically do. Otherwise remain abstinent and have your balls explode LOL

Mention however that's it's not covered by insurance (when going through this company specifically) and can cost $500 for the full panel
Thats surprising. I wonder why insurance singles out that place.

Also as others stated HSV1 is pretty damn common. While it can be transmitted via sexual contact almost no one gets it that way. Its usual spread via otherwise benign contact. Doesn't have to be direct contact. Many times its the little ones that spread it unknowingly, as is the case with many things. Usually after entering preschool. If you see a kid with a cold sore on the mouth its often HSV1. The kids then go around touching there mouths and then touch objects and surfaces that others then touch immediately after. They do this everywhere not just in school. Anyone could be following behind a family in a store, the kid touches an item or surface that is then immediately touched by someone else. The good news is that everyone older than the kid likely already had the virus, when they were that kids age.

Any non medical practice is not really going to be covered by insurance. Direct to lab results when you cut out the middle man you pay full price, don't ask me why because I don't have time to explain

Ok. Just throwing another option out there for people. I've used SAFEApp which is covered by insurance. You just make an appointment with the lab via the app and you go directly to the lab to draw samples. There are doctors involved that will read and summarize the results that get posted to the app. The doctor can be anywhere, the one I got was in Arizona. My only complaint and this is for almost all testing services, everything takes a few days. There are very few same day or one day result services out there. Those that Ive seen are usually pricey and I dont know if they are covered.

Last thing someone mentioned rough patches of skin. Like Rom said, that easily be from dry skin and sorry to say excessive masterbation. Just something to think about. I have dry skin and eczema on other parts of the body. In my college years I dormed away from my GF and had to knock em out on my own and yeah it can get dry and patchey down there if you go at it too much, with or with out the use of moisturizers. I don't usually care to share so much but hoping that might help others in thinking through their situation.
