Tested positive for the clap today and feel like informing previous clients would the *right* thing to do. But due to the nature of our encounters, I want to be discreet as possible and also make sure I'm safe since I don't know some would react.  

Any thoughts on informing them? The best way to go about it?

Gentleman- has a former provider every notified you?

Create an anonymous email account that can't get you identified and email the clients with a note that you visited me within the past 3, 4, 5, 6 months etc. I recommend a hushmail account.

I would like to inform you that I recently undertook a routine STD test and regretfully tested positive for gonorrhea. I recommend you visit a medical provider as soon as possible for an STD test and another one three months from now to confirm you are negative.

You can also get a prepaid phone and have it registered anonymously and text a notice at risk clients. Do not call or answer the phone, clients could recognize your voice.

Another option is to create another TER account that can't be traced to you or your aliases and post a notice on your home board. You would also be able to answer any questions anonymously.

Doing all three options covers all bases and helps the word get out to as many at risk clients as possible.

The one problem might be if a client has only seen you in the date range you give like three months, you could be identified if the client has only seen one provider.

Clap while still curable is beginning to be a problem again as several strains of the disease have become resistive to standard treatment.

You might also ask the clinic or medical provider where you got tested if they can notify "sexual partners" on your behalf that a partner has tested positive and encourage those at risk to get tested. This should only be done if they can do so and provide anonymity for you

....the annonymous email account with the timeframe in which you saw him  (or her if bi...) was my 1st thought as well. Also include the CDC info to save them the anxiety of lookimg up the info.

Can't emphasize enough since we are here....be honest with your doctor gentlemen.  Let him/her know that you are seeing multiple partners, even if you are married, and get an "open order" at the lab for the full battery of STD tests.  I typically have mine done every six weeks, went four weeks this time because happened to have to go to the lab anyway.  Alwaya a happy-happy moment to get the happy results rather than wondering

and I agree with Hobby City. Since it is the clap, odds are you did not infect partners that were years past. The shit from what I know, shows up in a matter of days, and you would have known back then. So, for the past say 2-3 months, I would certainly contact those gals, but if they have not contacted you, I doubt they are infected.

I am sorry I can't really give good advice on this. The only thing I can say is to tell her and if you want to be discrete about it just kindly inbox her and the guys that you KNOW sees her also. And make sure to take care of yourself babe

I totally agree with Ms. Julia also!

It is a provider who posted this, not a guy because she refers to informing her "clients."  

Same advice probably applies anyway. Just need to clarify as a few in this thread think the poster is a guy

Oh okay lol but yea the same advice applies to providers also

not, my providers. She found out she has the clap and wants to know how to contact her clients being most are married, I am sure.

I'm very careful about keeping this wrapped up when the uglies start bumping, but have been lax about BBBJs.  

One thing I'd really like to share is that I had conjunctivitis (pink eye) and strep throat* within a few weeks of being diagnosed. I'm sure they were caused in part by the clap.

*No, I wasn't working with pink eye or strep.
