    i thought it was time that i got myself tested for all the std's out there, as there have been a few occasions where i could have been more...careful.

    can anyone tell me where to go, how long it takes, how much it costs and how anonimous it is. general experiences would help as i'm a bit nervous about going, but its been on my todo list way too long. i'm a guy, btw.

    Go you your local health board website. Many (if not all) have a STD clinic which provides free and confidential testing for STD's

    Links to each health board are on http://www.doh.ie/links.html (Department of Health Website). You are sure to find details of a clinic near you on them.

    I believe there was a thread on this before.....

    anyway, if you need the full testing done, then your doctor will refer you to an STD clinic, I believe there is one attached to the Mater Hospital
