backwards

In the UK you can get a free STD test in a number of clinics. Anonymous, too. I expect that the offer is not being taken up as often as it should but at least it exists.

Here in Germany - even when you are prepared to pay - this seems unheard of. I am not sure whether this is just the case in Hinterwald Bavaria or elsewhere, too. Both my GP and my gynecologists were unable to deal with my request. Apparently, here you only test if you have a strong suspicion you might have caught something. What does that mean? In case you had unprotected sex with somebody who you KNOW has an STD already?

I am honestly shocked by this.
