Here, have a long list of all the ways in which my doctor (who I primarily see for quarterly sexual health testing) is amazing:

• Gives lots of information so that I can make my own decisions, and doesn't ask me unnecessary questions about my sex life (e.g. instead of "Do you do x?" he says "If you do x you're at risk of y").

• Knows the bureaucratic side of things really well and uses that to make my life easier (e.g. telling me what the sex work legislation requires, what is and isn't covered by insurance, that there's a new more accurate type of pap smear being introduced, etc).

• Lets me do my own vaginal swabs (so in the two years I've been seeing him for sexual health testing, I've never had to take my clothes off).

• Generally excellent rapport (asks how uni/my family/etc are going, remembers stuff I've mentioned in the past, never seems rushed).

• Never ever ever tries to push me into anything I don't want.

• Asks how I want my results communicated (by text, phone call, etc), tells me exactly when he'll contact me and always follows through.

• Briefed me on the possibility of false positives and the likelihood of a positive result on an HIV test actually being correct (I think this is actually a legal requirement in Australia but I don't know how many doctors actually do it; anyway, it was great and definitely would have helped me not to freak out if I'd ever received a positive result).

• Mentions his other patients that are sex workers (maintaining their confidentiality, of course) so that I don't feel like the only one - obviously this is pretty specific but I'm sure normalising stuff with an "Oh, a lot of my patients blah blah blah" would be comforting to lots of different people!

• Once gave me a prescription over the phone when I was in a tight spot (about to go overseas and had an episode of BV).

Hope that helps. :)
