I caught gonorrhea from a decently well known budget place in Marrickville. Wonder if it's good practice to name and shame? I don't really have any confidence they'll improve their safety lol
Or perhaps, self preventative medicate with doxy prep (doxycycline), in the 72 hours after a session.
Doxycycline can be easily obtained for a number of commomn ailments, as well as STI's, acne being one of them.
Doxycycline is an antibiotic that's used to treat infections including:
Chest and dental infections.
Skin infections and conditions like rosacea.
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
Other rare infections.
Welcome to the waiting room, lads. Take a number and a tissue. Let’s diagnose some of the biggest whoppers from the Aus99 STI testing thread.
⸻
MYTH #1: “Doxycycline after a punt will keep the nasties away.”
Diagnosis: Misguided over-the-counter cowboy medicine
Prognosis: Antibiotic resistance and false confidence
Reality: Taking doxy like it’s Berocca after a night out won’t save you. It’s not STI fairy dust. Misusing antibiotics fuels super strains of gonorrhoea that laugh in the face of your 100mg heroics. Unless your doc wrote you a script, and you’ve been properly diagnosed or enrolled in a monitored PEP study (usually in high-risk MSM groups), self-medicating is just DIY Darwinism.
Punchline: Doxy isn’t a STI condom. It’s a prescription drug. Not Mentos.
⸻
MYTH #2: “Urine + throat swab = all clear. No need for blood tests.”
Diagnosis: Partial screening syndrome
Prognosis: Missed HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis
Reality: Some of you are out here swabbing like it’s a COVID test in 2020. Urine and throat are great for gonorrhoea and chlamydia, but blood tests are the only way to detect HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B/C and sometimes even herpes antibodies. If your idea of “clean” is three bodily fluids short, you’re not playing safe — you’re playing peekaboo with your immune system.
Punchline: If it ain’t in the bloodstream, it ain’t in your test stream. Get the bloods, ya goose.
⸻
MYTH #3: “Herpes is only infectious during an outbreak.”
Diagnosis: Blind spot herpes belief
Prognosis: Viral roulette
Reality: HSV-1 and HSV-2 can shed and spread without visible symptoms. It’s called asymptomatic viral shedding — sounds fancy, but it’s herpes ghosting your logic. Visual inspection doesn’t cut it — unless your date’s a dermatologist with a blacklight and a microscope.
Punchline: If you’re playing “spot the sore” before sticking it in, mate — you’re already f**ked.
⸻
MYTH #4: “Drink water and pee straight after a session to wash it all out.”
Diagnosis: Wishful flushing
Prognosis: Dehydrated and still infected
Reality: You’re not rinsing a beer bong here. Urinating might reduce UTI risk slightly, but it doesn’t “flush out” STIs like some kind of internal carwash. If anything, you’re giving yourself false reassurance while your urethra’s busy hosting chlamydia’s housewarming party.
Punchline: Peeing doesn’t kill bacteria — antibiotics do. And only the right ones.
⸻
MYTH #5: “Sexual health clinics don’t report anything.”
Diagnosis: Selective privacy disorder
Prognosis: Legal confusion with a hint of paranoia
Reality: Clinics don’t call your mum, your missus or your boss. But STIs are notifiable diseases. That means anonymous statistical data goes to NSW Health to monitor outbreaks. Your name? Safe. Your infection? Counted. Your lies? Between you and your conscience.
Punchline: Sexual health clinics aren’t narcs. They’re nerds with test tubes who don’t care if you called yourself “KingPunty69” on the form.
⸻
MYTH #6: “If the girl looks clean and smells okay, you’re sweet.”
Diagnosis: Visual Safety Bias
Prognosis: STI surprise sequel
Reality: Most STIs are asymptomatic — meaning no smell, no sores, no warning. Some of you are out here inspecting genitals like it’s a Woolies avocado — “Yeah bro this one feels firm, no bruising, good to go.” Nah. That’s not science. That’s survival bias with a side of wishful thinking.
Punchline: If you’re doing quality control by eyeball and nose, just know gonorrhoea doesn’t care about your sniff test.
⸻
MYTH #7: “If you’re careful with oral, there’s no real risk.”
Diagnosis: BBBJ denial syndrome
Prognosis: Surprise strep throat and gonorrhoea kisses
Reality: Oral sex transmits STIs like chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, herpes, and even HPV or HIV (in rare but possible cases). It’s not “less risky.” It’s just sneakier. Especially when you’re out there swapping spit with a roster that makes the NRL draft look tame.
Punchline: If you’re getting throated on Thursday and tongue-punched by Saturday, maybe don’t wait until Monday to get swabbed.
⸻
FINAL THOUGHTS FROM DR. PUN
The real STI epidemic? Misinformation.
Stop getting your sexual health advice from lads who call themselves “Double Adapter” and “4InchSituAsian.”
• Always get tested after high-risk exposure, or every 3 months if you’re active.
• Get a full panel: urine, throat, rectal if applicable, AND blood.
• Don’t misuse antibiotics like they’re chewable mints.
• And if you’re married and still punting raw — you don’t need a test. You need a therapist.
Remember: Prevention is sexy. Regular testing is the real climax.

Clinic motto: We treat symptoms, not stupidity — but we’ll try our best.
No of course not. Many kinds of things and especially things that are viral or fungal would never get caught. But it is absolutely better than nothing, and if someone is getting doxy either from a clinic or an instant script kind of place, they are probably aware more of the types of risks and that's a positive thing to encourage
Thanks fellas. It was from BBBJ. I always knew it carried a risk but I'm well aware of it now. Punt with caution!

Definitely the wl has gonorrhea in her throat, throat gonorrhea is common and usually you can get [ from the wl ] it from dfk but not so often from bbbj.
But yes, if you didn't have lengthy dfk then yes is from a lengthy bbbj. Keep in mind that saliva is antiseptic as you know, but a lengthy dfk / bbbj can give you sti especially if you don't drink water / urine immediately after [ or during ] the session.
Haven’t punted in a while since I got a positive for herpes. It was definitely the BBBJ. It was not pleasant. Felt like a viral infection, went to the emergency and felt very judged by the lady doctor there. Got some anti virals from the SHC the day after.
Name who to protect others
Seems like STIs are getting more and more prevalent!

Anyone had luck getting an appointment at a sexual health centre? I've called St George and Camperdown, both rejected me for a routine check up only. Both saying I should see my GP instead, citing staff shortages and only dealing with he most serious cases.
So has the government reduced funding or are there more people out there walking around with STI's?
That's a very strong view response Vader, and yes, NC3 sent out similar saying it was a true safety net.
I'd agree that Doxy is not a full coverage for STI's, the only thing that is is abstinence.
And if we throw in scabies, herpes, and HIV, they can all be caught from non sexual activity as well.
So there is no "true safety net", just like there isn't one for crossing the street.
But, in the parlance of a well known politician, "Please explain" why NC3 has "absolutely no idea" in your view...
