I have caught this STI before and it's actually really annoying to catch in Canada. Why? Because doctors aren't aware of it. I had symptoms of some sort of STI but came back negative on everything. Literally had a doctor in Canada tell me maybe I wasn't changing my underwear enough. Gotta love our immigrant doctors. I convinced a doctor it was this by doing my own research. Treated it with one round of antibiotics. That didn't fix it. I convinced him to give me a second round of antibiotics and that actually did fix it but then I got a yeast infection from too much antibiotics and my gut got fucked up. Ended up taking about a year to fix myself after catching this.

Oh and I asked them to test me for this but they couldn't even test for this. First of all, the doctors didn't even realize there was a test for this. I had to show them the health Canada website that said there was a test. Once they realized there was a test, the doctor had to specially request the test in the "other" category because there's no tickbox for this. Well, all the hospital staff who are useless as fuck got all confused since it was non-standard and no one could figure it out. In the end, I went for a pee sample but then they told me they couldn't actually test for it because the place they sent the pee too didn't have the test available so I ended up wasting a whole bunch of time for nothing. I'd probably have to drive to a different city to get testing done but then figuring out which clinics or hospitals have the equipment and capability for testing for this would be nearly impossible to figure out. No medical staff, doctors included, even realize this is even an STI.
