Phone sex?

[fuzzygruf]

This is part of a conversation I had on the phone today:

Christopher: "Stick it in your anus a couple inches and swirl it around. Oh. I think my backyard faces yours. Do you have the hot tub? I'm the house with the green awning."

Actually, this was prompted by a letter I got in the mail today. I had done a couple HIV surveys before with UCSF, and they've paid me $25 each time. Those were just phone surveys, so it was pretty easy money. I received a letter today asking if I'd do another study. This time the study is to test of HPV's and pre-anal cancer. I made the call to take part in the study.

The script Christopher read was pretty graphic.

I've agreed to the study. Part of it is home-testing, following by clinical testing. They want to compare results to see if this is something that can be accurately screened at home. Christopher scheduled me for a clinic appointment next Wednesday. With the Labor Day holiday, mailing it might be a problem. Since he lives near me (the green awning), he's going to deliver the kit to me in person.

You do lead a colorful life. Ya know, clinical trials are interesting. Less than a year ago, I received some info. about an HIV vaccine clinical trial. It sounded awesome! My hubby and I tried to apply, but we were rejected. They were looking for negatives who had less than 6 partners in a yearlong period. We qualified on the first part - nuff said.

Color me clueless, but if the whole point of a vaccine study is to see if a vaccine actually prevents a person from contracting a disease, why limit the sample size only to people with minimal exposure? Will that really tell you anything? GRR!

Take what you can get, hon. Oh, and you don't have to use code words: I think we all know that you mean by a "study" and "kit" and "deliver it in person."
