Could be a yeast infection. Sometimes STIs do take a while to show symptoms though. Better to get it checked out.

When i was single and dating, i was tested between partners. My GYN told me she felt i was over testing myself and i was like - I’m paying for it so run the labs, lady.

I try to get tested for STIs after every single partner and visit the gyno at least once a year for annual checkup, Pap smear, etc. If I have any symptoms or an issue comes up then I’ll make an appointment to see what’s going on down there

With a new partner. Yes it is true some STIs have lead time to symptoms (some are asymptomatic for some people). On balance of probability, things like thrush and UTIs are more likely. But if you have insurance covering the test, why not get it (FYI there’s some STIs doctors will opt not to screen for unless you’re actively showing symptoms, like HSV aka herpes).

Sounds like yeast infection, but go check out that as well and do a panel while you are at gyno :)

Doesn’t it make more sense to get your new partner/yourself get screened for STDs before getting sexually active with them?

This is what I do

Before I was married, I did testing annually always and then before becoming exclusive with someone/stopping using a condom - and asked that they do so as well. I was always on birth control but always used condoms until in a relationship and then had me and partner do a STD screening before changing that protocol.

I agree that if you haven’t been sexually actively in awhile yeast/uti/bacterial vaginitis/ect are much more likely. I’ve had all of these at some point and they can be a pain but are not stds.

Could be a yeast infection but go to the doctor to get checked.

Hi fishes

Actually there is one management group based in kolkata. They are offering me vendership for call center executive. But they are asking initial 1k per candidates for the insurance purposes. Insurance for assets they are providing like Mobile etc .

But I didn't connected with them via linkdin only. Can I trust them or they might be the fake one. I'm in very big confusion guys. I needed your suggestions.

Thanks in advance

Hi all,

I work in insurance.

My new team is all middle aged females (been there over 10 years) not formally HR educated- I'm late 20s male and very well educated. I'm told I'm ver personable.
They are very close and have a clique often excluding me and making me feel left out. I am well connected socially and get free tickets to events to which I offer the team regularly.

I don't want to make a huge deal about how I feel and am treated. But any advice to better my interactions with the team?

Need advice:

I'm debating between a Deloitte USDC role as a Software Engineer for 100k + 5k bonus and a small but established private company for 110k, which is fully remote with no expectation that I have to move at some point. Health/Dental/Vision, 401k and PTO are pretty similar. I'm an experienced hire with ~5 years of relevant background and currently work on a small, independent team at a large aerospace company, so either job is going to be a bit different than what I know.

Hello all,

I'm a PA in the PNW working for a private group staffing ED's in several hospitals. Recently the group has asked the PA's to take on a couple new roles (triaging and rapid track from triage i.e. straightforward ESI 4, 5). With these changes the PA's are considering asking for increased pay in the form of an addition of a COLA (cost of living adjustment) to our normal salary. Was wondering if any other PA's in the ED have these in their contracts and at what rate.

-Thanks
