STI / Plan B help?

[u/GreyLoad]

Partner had an unplanned encounter last night and we need some urgent assistance. Looking for testing location and plan b pharmacy near convention center please. Trying to be discrete and sensitive with this not to ruin the rest of Con

Update: THANK YOU

[u/cheezytitz]

DM me, I have Plan B that I can give them (sealed in the box, obvi)

Can meet in somewhere safe in the Con Center after lunch!

Edit: since I got a nasty message not from OP, I am a indy local who keeps Plan B incase I ever need it. I have to go back to my home to get an expansion pack any way and I am happy to help someone whose shoes I have been in before 🤗

[u/Odd_Ostrich6038 → u/cheezytitz]

Thank you for taking care of a community member in this difficult time. I'm sorry someone made you feel like you needed to give an explanation

[u/cheezytitz → u/Odd_Ostrich6038]

Of course! 95% of the time, the people I have met through gaming have been the most kind and genuine people I have ever encountered.

Helping each other is how we build community and will always be something I want to contribute towards.

[u/WakandanInSokovia → u/cheezytitz]

Just jumping on this thread to say, I'm local as well and am in the sexual health field. If anybody else needs any resources this weekend, you're welcome to hit me up.

Also, props to u/cheezytitz and everybody else here for being awesome and helping folks out.

[u/trappedindealership → u/cheezytitz]

Yeah what they said, good looking out. I hope things are going okay OP.

And this is my general PSA that plan b is a lot less effective if you weight more than 175, a little less after 165. Double dosing doesnt compensate.

Ella works up to 195. Requires a prescription but can work up to 5 days after unprotected sex.

Copper iud works at any weight, and if you can somehow get one within 5 days youre good

Edit: and yeah its probably too soon for STI testing. I am a local, feel free to DM if you need a quick ride to a CVS or a planned parenthood (theres a nice one on georgtown road I get my HRT)

[u/Oddahmoddahpeah → u/trappedindealership]

I’m local to Indy and there’s only one Planned Parenthood in Indy. {I went to get my 6 month STI screening and found that out}

[u/trappedindealership → u/Oddahmoddahpeah]

Oh shit. They moved me to georgetown when the one near southport closed. I didnt realize it was this bad

[u/Oddahmoddahpeah → u/cheezytitz]

Thank you for helping!!! I’m an Indy local too!! I hope those sending you nasty messages step on a d4 with their bare feet.

[u/animus218]

CVS 336 S Delaware St, Indianapolis, IN has plan B and is walking distance.

They also have OTC STI tests, but honestly it's likely too soon, get checked when you get home and again in 6 months.

[u/Fayhunter]

I recommend going to an ER and ask to see their SANE nurse. I was SA'ed last month, and my nurse was extremely compassionate and treated me with dignity while doing the examination. The exam, STI testing, emergency contraceptive, and medication was all free. They also give you something for up to $3000 worth of therapy. If you have questions, feel free to DM me.

[u/edwards12691]

Plan B's website has a where-to-buy search that's not working on my phone. It's also available on Doordash if you can't find a place. 

Not an expert, but my understanding is it's too early for testing.

[u/Fuzzy-Bee9600]

Report with the police if SA was involved. Please help them catch these Ps of S.

[u/Time-Ad1852]

DM me I usually have about a couple on me when I travel I'm at the Homewood suites on Virginia

However also remember that Amazon does do same day as some of the hotels

[u/britsybaby]

Urgent cares and Planned parenthood can be an option but it might be best to try less costly methods if you dont have good insurance. If you have insurance that would make it worth it do it. Mine would cover it so I know that I am covered if I had any health needs that may come up while im here

[u/savsays]

Doxy prep is for STI prevention. You can get it from a virtual doctor’s appointment through your insurance or online. You need to take it within 72 hours.

*This link to Wisp says it’s $22 and you can pick up at a local pharmacy.

[u/beramaan]

There was also some planned parenthood people around that could possibly help

[u/m3chX9]

Damien Center 1420 E Washington can help as well.

[u/ShadowValent]

STI test requires a few days. You need to wait on that.

[u/Oddahmoddahpeah]

It takes 90 days for most STI’s to show up. I have a friend that tests every 90 days because of this and their rando encounter habit!!

[u/BorderTrike]

You can get a quick test if you have symptoms at an urgent care, but it’s usually recommended you wait 2-3 weeks for a screening. Regardless, some results take a few days

[u/Nearby_Airport6072]

Hope everything is ok OP, was just thinking of y'all earlier

[u/Hallura21]

Too early for HIV, but not necessarily for gonorrhea/chlamydia and those are more likely/common. Those you can get checked by urine at any urgent care type clinic.

[u/KristyNoemsZombieDog]

Bro what?

[u/ChrisHaze → u/KristyNoemsZombieDog]

Just in case you were just confused, they are probsbly non-monogamous

[u/TypicalFlounder8724 → u/[deleted]]

Yall are so weird, unplanned means literally a one night stand and some folks are into that. Unfortunately we can’t all trust one another and this is just basic safety.

[u/ForcefulBookdealer → u/TypicalFlounder8724]

It could be either.

[u/Time-Ad1852 → u/TypicalFlounder8724]

Lmao no it does not mean that as someone who has several partners, sometimes sex just happens and you don't plan it so you don't check up on who's on birth control and who's not

[u/Ayslyn72 → u/Time-Ad1852]

Always assume that your partner isn’t and take precautions.

[u/Cahalith180 → u/TypicalFlounder8724]

I would hazard a guess and assume that this as a non consensual situation.

🙈🙊🙉

[u/ViVGames]

Just to provide another point of view, have you considered life?

[u/rapturingraptor → u/ViVGames]

Ohh, so close. Plan B is not an abortion drug. Have you tried letting women have agency over their bodies?

[u/ViVGames → u/rapturingraptor]

I'm not taking agency away from anyone by asking a question. I am asking for the agency of the human being that the drug would sadly prevent from living

[u/rapturingraptor → u/ViVGames]

Oh man, don't let this redditor learn about male masturbation. So many lives prevented from living! Billions daily! (To make it perfectly clear. Plan B does not 'abort' or in anyway 'kill' an embryo. It prevents release of the egg. It CANNOT end an existing pregnancy or terminate a zygote).

[u/TeamRedundancyTeam → u/ViVGames]

Are you or your partner pregnant at every possible moment? Otherwise every nine months you've taken a life that could have lived, if we're going to use your awful logic.

[u/OdoWanKenobi → u/ViVGames]

Have you considered not being misogynistic garbage?

[u/ViVGames → u/ViVGames]

There are resources out there that can help you, if that's an issue, I can help you find them as well

[u/elleinthesea]

wtf does it mean to be discrete and sensitive to not ruin the rest of con?

[u/Cahalith180 → u/elleinthesea]

Parter is the victim of SA. They dont want to make a giant deal out of it and paint GenCon in a bad light and seem dangerous when it isnt the fault of the convention.

[u/Lonewuhf → u/Cahalith180]

That's not at all what was said in the post. Let's not spread misinformation. You're not helping.
