Red Cross still the best for std checkups?

Is the famous red Cross at silom still the best place to go for full std testing?

IMO, for heterosexuals,  yes.

 

You can get testing at many places but the counselors here are them most up to date.

 

For gay and trans men, the Silom Clinic http://www.silomclinic.in.th/

is probably the best

is it actually real  testing they do in small clinics that advertise cheap prices in the window ?

700 thb  for full panel screening sounds very cheap compared to what bkk hospitals usually  charge 

(i dont care about the price because i can charge it to work  ,but if the small clinic only takes 5-10 minutes

i would prefer that .........

Small clinics are often very dodgy i.e. may not really do the tests at all. Best avoided IMO.

 

The "counselling" given at the place in the video was certainly sub-standard...in fact non-existant. "You are OK" with no explanation of the limitations  of the HIV antibody test (won't detect early infections) or need for repeat test after 3 months etc is downright malpractice.
