Thanks Old Snake!
tawer5ag when i received my phone call i asked them to send the results to me by email or SMS, so just call them and ask for the results
Thanks Old Snake!
whats the difference between going to GP or going to SHC?
SHC is private and not visible anywhere else eg other clinics, my health record, the missus
Just for anyone who may not be aware, there is an "in between" option - not free like the health service clinics, but you can avoid the awkwardness and expense of going to a GP by using https://www.stigmahealth.com/ - for $20-$39 (depending on your age etc), you get a pathology referral that you can then take to any local pathology clinic, and they will do all the tests (covered by medicare 100%). You get the results via a secure app on your phone - handy in case you ever need to show anyone in a hurry! :-)
Sounds easy and quick
How secure are their records? Not sure about dealing with a small company and such private records. Who knows what happens with the data
Noting is guaranteed but at least the sex clinics have formal government data systems with proper cyber security protocols
Private companies chasing the dollar may choose to use your data for other reasons
