Your family doctor was probably jealous and pissed because he/she wasn't getting laid enough and properly at home.
Rapid and discreet testing downtown

No, but it's actually quite common for drs and pharmacists to shame their patients when asking for STI testing or contraception. It just mostly happen to women.
I mean she does wear sandals with socks...
I know and it really pisses me off. Here are these people that preach the importance of being tested and yet do all they can to shame us out of it.
They should be reported to the Collége des Médecins and other professional organizations.
I don’t want to turn this into a racism debate but I have been told by a lot of people of colour that it was easier for them to get contraception including getting their tube tied.
For a very long time, doctors would even tie tubes without consent when a woman of colour was giving birth. This would happen when there was complications and the person needed to be fully sedated. They would wake up with their tube tied and would never know.
I know I was prescribed contraception before I even asked for it.
TLDR: Yes some doctors let their own personal beliefs taint the way they treat their patients. Very unfortunate.

All of this is true. Medical neglect & abuse due to misogyny, racism, classism, hatred of mentally ill & disabled people and fat phobia are fairly common, and good luck with reporting those doctors. Nothing will happen.
I wish I could find the article that I mentioned earlier, I think it was this:
Physicians and Implicit Bias
Basically doctors, even “good doctors”, like all humans might subconsciously stereotype and apply bias.
To get back on topic tho:
I’m not super active in the hobby, I try to limit my exposure to risk, and I do test at the lilium clinic in laval. Without ramq it was 300 a pop and they still ask all my personal info every time. My original question was wether prelib was more no-question-asked type of place. I remember 14 years ago or so there was a walk in clinic in the village where you just waited for your turn, got tested then got a call- truly no questions asked. The waiting room was an interesting gaggle of people of all shape and sizes…
Prelib has a detailed list that you fill out online when booking the appointment. I went there this summer and everything was smooth and organized. Dm me if u want more details.
The nurse working that day was smoking hot too. Wouldn't be surprised if she was an sp as I've been with 2 sp's that were nurses recently.
Decide to take sti test at the lilium clinic Atwater DT, at 7am, first call of the day
The nurse was a young girl in her early 20s, in fact almost all employees looks in there 20s.
Standard questioning, no judgement ton noticed even when I mention the number of encounters.
Pricy but got result back same day ( all negative btw)
If you want your tests covered under RAMQ you will have to provide your card.
You can go to their site and fill out a lengthy questionnaire about your sexual and drug habits which will then lead to them suggesting certain tests based on your answers.
Prelib are true pros. Had a great time last time I went. This post made me think about getting tested again eh!If you would like to play safe (which you always should), safe sex is a good idea. Using condoms or dental dams are a good way to protect yourself but getting tested regularly goes a long way. You can get tested at Prelib downtown, they have 2 locations that are 2 steps away from metro stations. It is usually very fast to get an appointment and your results will be shared to you by phone whether they’re positive or negative. They will then be added on your portal and you can print them out and frame them if that’s your thing.
If you have the RAMQ card, anciennement la carte soleil, it won’t be more than $15 to get tested. You can go as often as you want, they do not judge.

I now test at Lilium in Laval after Prélib lost my tests 3 times in a row.. That’s about a month’s time wasted on results with none back. (Thankfully they refund the test, but I just got turned off)
At Lilium, they have an à la carte option and different packages. It’s $199 for HIV, gono chlam and syphilis with same day results. Which I love. Hate waiting.
They have another location in MTL near Atwater metro station.
They also offer all types of tests you may need, be it cortisol levels, urinary analysis, and strep (for me this is a god send because I usually have the rarest form of strep Group C/G and they have it!!!) A god send honestly.

I swear to the babyjesus..
- 1st time they told me they lost it
- 2nd time it was “inconclusive” - they said I didn’t have enough pee between the two black lines………
I’m like, ma’am. It’s been 2 years I test with you and have no issues. I take the BMW (Bus Metro Walk) because MTL traffic is hectic especially from the east end.
Ain’t no fkn way I will be careless enough to scrap a test / have the luxury to waste time and come redo it.
- 3rd time - lost. Again.
So I’m like k. Fuck off. This is ridiculous.
They got really popular recently so I’m guessing they’re cutting corners here and there. I don’t know, just sucks lmao.
There is no denying (except for our PM Legault and his not so beloved CAQ) that systemic racism is rampant, and was (and arguably still is) a pillar of building occidental societies. Unfortunatley what you wrote abut perfectly fits in with this scheme.
It was very commun practice in the ‘70s to suggest contraception pills to teen girls in high schools, regardless of their origins. To the point where, I never had a gf or a casual lover asking me to wear a condom until the early ‘90s.
I guess the biggest concern from the authorities were strictly unwanted pregnancies!!!
