Slutty Brits
What's with the over-the-counter Chlamydia tests in the UK? Am I the only one who's done a double-take and stared, shocked, at the shelves in Boots? This really doesn't give me much reassurance about British people. Even in America where college campuses can have up to a 40% (thats UP TO, not typical) STD infection rate (including chlamydia, gonhorrea, syphallis, and all the much more serious diseases) we don't flat out accomodate the promiscuity.
Seriously, what happened to the days when people who slept around without taking precautions had to go through a regular doctors appointment and get a lecture from the doctor about safety measures?
I see that some would agrue if we didn't provide home testing, many young people would be too afraid or embarrased to go to the doctor. So essentially, some infected ppl may never get tested due to embarrasment. So the solution - someone decided - was to take the embarrasment out of STD testing. But then what's to prevent the average slutty brit from repeating the process over and over until they are infected?
In my opinion, offering over-the-counter, easily-available, take-home STD tests just reassure ppl that they can sleep around, unprotected, and not worry too much. Don't worry, you can stop by the local drug store/pharmacy to get an STD test and the morning-after pill. That way you can almost 'cure' a one night stand ex-post facto.
I'm sorry but anyone who has a one night stand should be required to go to the doctor. That's the best way to stop the spread of STD's. Not only will the doctor be able to detect any disease but the person will think twice before they sleep around again because no one wants to have to see a doctor like 5 times a month and be lectured and embarrassed.
I don't think I quite understand how British people think. They don't give a flying shit about customer service or travel convenience, but they are eager to accomodate promiscuous girls and boys who don't bother with protection.
