Is It Ok To Get STD Tested?

[TRTony]

I want to go get tested for stds tommorow. So that means giving blood. If im on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) will i lose some of the medicine if i lose blood? Also will it make me lose any pumps from working out? Or am i ok to do this?

you will be fine. i mean you give blood for checking your levels. Im sure there is some minor loss but nothing to write home about. I mean if your talking about losing blood in general because of major sport event I would tell you to hold off. But if you think you got an STD time doesnt heal any of it, and you owe it to yourself,partner, or future partners to know so you can take care of it or take precautions.

When they test for an STD they barely take any blood maybe 1 vial. Its not like giving blood. Or are you giving blood and then asking for an STD test on top?

I just want to get checked cuz i havent been checked ina good while. And i like this girl but i dont want to give her anything if i have something. So it wont have any negative effects? Like losing my TRT?

If you donate blood they will automatically test for stds as well. Be aware they can come back with false + fairly often.

not enough to matter. And if it does your better off taking the slight hit for a day or two to know what you have and dont have.

Very small amount, they don't do blood letting anymore...

Just get blood work done, you won't lose the testosterone in your blood

I agree, once testosterone hits the blood it only has a 10-60 minute life anyway.
