Why would we (punters) go to an STI clinic? GPs are free if you bulk bill and if you don't want your regular GP to know anything then just pick a different GP for the sole purpose of STI checks.Quote:

Sexual health clinics are much better than GPs.
Go to Liverpool sexual health clinic and see the Indian female Dr she really does knows her stuff. The last time I went for my annual health check two stunning Thai MILFs showed up at reception for their checkup.
The other sexual health clinic I’d recommend is Kogarah - the old Aussie female Dr is quite good and knowledgeable in this respect. When I went for my health check the previous year she asked if I would mind if a young intern (quite attractive at that) could be an observer.
The city based sexual health clinics can be quite busy and pedestrian like.
2nd the Kogarah one.Quote:

Kings Cross has been good for me but years ago I did like one out Marrickville way where the young female doc with easily discernible G string under her thin pants was a real turn on.Quote:

I just say I'm gay, and the GP takes it as given that I'm having a heap of sex.
I didn't know STI clinics don't need a Medicare card??? That's vital news because do y'all know that all your Medicare card history appears in your myGov account (even if you opted out of the medical history scheme)? The medicare history appears with an item number which an investigative wife could figure out with a simple Google search. But, and this is the good news, it disappears after 3 years. I was relieved to find that. But from now on I'll go to an STI clinic if that's true about no Medicare card.
I had very brief BBFS with a MILF from 102 Liverpool before. Seems she does it regularly because of how nonchalantly she put my cock in. I just pulled it off so she could resume BBBJ but she took that as a sign to start riding me.
Lucky nothing bad happened, but I pulled out within a few seconds and asked her to finish me in BBBJ. She did clean my cock before doing that, so I'm sure she's taking care not to catch anything, but it's still a gamble.
Not true!Quote:

They just don't ask you because they have it in record from your previous visits.
The first thing they ask you is to fill up a form where you have to give your medicare card number.
That's is absolutely not true. Stop providing false information. Sexual health clinics does not 'require' Medicare card. That will ask you for it in the form so they can charge back to the health system. If you decline and say you do not wish to provide, they will still treat you.Quote:

These clinics were design to be the safety net for the sexually active who is not covered by Medicare (such as overseas students). Their operation is funded differently (could be donation or fund raising). So to use it if you have a card is abusing the system, but that a whole different discussion.
Stop getting your knicker in a twist and accusing people.Quote:

And it doesn't say in the form it's optional so I naturally assumed it was required.
It was a simple misunderstanding.
So I am happy to admit I may be wrong.
Anyway, this guy "king of xxx" seems to have all the answers about Sexual Health.
Please refer to him everyone.
Can confirm that Medicare card is not required.Quote:

Surely that’s how a foreigner who got sick in Australia can get some medical attention seeing a GP?
I’m with Mr Kingqxxx on this one, though Mr Yug and others swear blind that a Medicare card is required.
Are we all talking about the same thing here? ie are we talking about the real deal, fully fledged, unadulterated, no holds barred, no Medicare card required sexual health clinic OR are we talking about a medical centre with GPs, a pathology lab, a shrink, and a sexual advice unit, now turned into a Covid-19 vaccination centre ?
Anyway in order to separate the shit from the clay and nip this at the bud:

Tip: unlike medical centres occasionally you can pick up some good sorts at sexual health clinics…….(just saying)
My apologies Yug if the tone came out too strong and offended you. Let's shake hands and move onQuote:

Its just that, on this forum, you got to put your guard up.
Thanks for letting me know of my mistake.
If I knew before it was optional to provide Medicare, I would have opted for it too.
Hey DA,Quote:

That's what I always did.
But it seems its optional as kingqxxx and others have pointed out.
So not swearing by it at all.
