Where is the best place for STD tests?

Can anyone recommend the best place to get a full STD check up and likely costs - as i am pretty sure they are not covered by health insurance.

thanks!

Are you married? If not, you are then opening yourself up to a myriad of potential problems? Especially if you're a woman.

Goes to show how naive I am. I thought his response was genuine.

Okay, then. As there are no STD clinics here, maybe you can take a gamble and go to a GP. But I'd steer clear of the government hospitals if I were you. Personally, I think ALL countries should have a place to go to get checked for STD's but as this is a country where premarital sex is ILLEGAL, I guess it would be sending mixed messages if they did.

I read the response to be sarcastic, Flossie. Maybe I'm the naive one.......

Maybe he/she will come on and declare the winner?

Full points to you passanda, the first response was sarcastic, however mr helpful almost redeemed himself with his second answer which was semi helpful - i.e. no clinics in Dubai. Where he fell down was stating in BIG CAPITALS that sex was illegal before marriage - best lock me (and about 500,000 people up). If I wanted to be preached to I would go to church.


It's interesting to note that if any potential infections happened outwith the UAE this would not be illegal, so is treatment for any of these in the UAE illegal?

Hi Andrews,

You asked if there were STD Clinics in Dubai, Flossie gave you a truthful answer. I really cannot see why you needed to respond in such a negative fashion from someone who was actually helping you.

Enough said on the matter.
