“How do I ask my doctor to test my eye for an STI?”
Like this:
“Can my eye be tested too?”
Or:
“I’ve had eye symptoms and I’m wondering if STI testing is appropriate.”
Or simply:
“I’d like STI testing. Are there any other areas that should be tested?”
That’s it!
Your healthcare provider’s job is not to judge your lifestyle. Their job is to help protect your health.
STI testing isn’t always limited to the ge****ls. Depending on symptoms and exposure, testing may include:
✓ Eyes
✓ Throat
✓ Re**um
✓ Ge****ls
The more information you share about your symptoms and exposure, the better your healthcare provider can determine what testing is appropriate.
Let’s normalize these conversations.
No embarrassment.
No shame.
No awkwardness.
Just healthcare.
