Shy guy If one is not gay,an iv drug user or does not have an infected partner or one that is an iv drug user can they be talked into testing for the various hepatitis infections if on has engaged in risky behavior with prostitutes in the past.In vaccinating for hepatitis A?It seems they would want to try to stop any spreading of this. For me the peace of mind of knowing i was tested for all the major afflictions would be a major reason for submitting to testing.The above posted policy seems inadequate for many mongers and/or sexual addicts. Would it be better to go to a different physician if you wanted checked for the gambit?I'm guessing one may have to be careful doing this because of the risk of being classified high risk by insurance companies in the future due to admitted risky behaviour.Any idea as to the costs of having the tests and vaccines done privately if you skip using insurance for confidentiality reasons? Thanks for the info Taxibob |
