So with the 2-3 month hiatus thats going on, maybe its a good time to get the entire plumbing checked out before we return to our hedonistic lifestyle. Any suggestions on where to go ? I cant exactly hit up the gp since I share mine with the missus. I also noticed you dont get much priority unless you claim to be in a high risk group..is that where we lie or ?
Go to any gp and it’s confidential he can’t discuss with your partner
Can't you go to another medical centre/GP
Would it appear in your myHealth or myGov thingy?
There are thousands of GPs in Sydney, and they are all sworn to secrecy.
Just pick one and go see him/her.
Don't claim Medicare and pay cash.
At this time you can’t book an appointment with a sexual health clinic - unless you are showing any symptoms. If you are only looking at a routine check up, they refer you to a GP - not necessarily your regular one but any one will do. Not sure if the records will be shared with your GP though. I also took a Covid-19 test last week just for curiosity and peace of mind. I think this will come in handy (pun intended lol) when RnT or brothels will reopen in the near future. I saw a post that some people post their results on their dating profile. I’ll be happy to show to the shop and girls my negative test for their security and safety. Go get checked guys!
The covid-19 test result only good on the test day. After that you still can get covid-19. So is useless to the shop/girls.
I was looking up blood tests in Sydney and the below link came up. The full STD checks is valued at roughly a punt.

If you are an Australian Citizen or Permanent Resident the pathology tests at most GPs and clinics are free (paid by Medicare).Quote:

If your GP bills you, then you will still get around 70% back from Medicare so will only pay around $20.
There is no need to pay money to these private companies.
if it does, only you or doctors would know?Quote:

There are also some tests that have limits on how many times a year you get have the test bulk billed, especially if it is just for general screening.Quote:
