My hospital has done that too. Multiple times. They have also sent me mail about it.

They keep trying to get me to test for chlamydia. I am a virgin. You see the problem here? They never believe me when I say I'm a virgin so I've given up talking to them.

I'm a virgin too but I took the test for them anyway (though I did protest) because apparently my insurance company insists that someone my age is more likely to have it than not. It's just peeing in a cup and leaving it at your doctor's office.

Re: Little Rant

Yeah, I know it's peeing in a cup. I just- it's the principle of the matter. My insurance doesn't care one way or another and my family thinks it's hilarious so whatever. At least I get a joke in the mail every so often.

They can't have my pee until I say they can have my pee!

From a public health point of view, it makes sense to screen everyone in the group, even if they say they aren't at risk (because people lie to save face, or are mistaken). From a personal point of view, if you understand all the risk factors and can make an informed decision, I feel no qualms explaining that I have no intention of being screened because the negatives (uncomfortable, inconvenient, risk of worrying false positive and even unnecessary treatment) outweigh the very small risk of a benefit in my personal case.

When I explain this to my doctor or nurse, they agree that in my case the risk is basically non-existent, but tell me that they can't actually take me off the list. So the bit in the letters that says "if you have decided not to be screened, please make an appointment to explain this to your doctor so we can take you off our list" is basically a lie. The doctors have no power to do so, and tell me just to ignore the letters. And, again, I understand why, and this stuff (unlike the stuff I actually need) is a sexy priority target that carries extra funding.

Doesn't stop it being annoying.

Re: Little Rant

Ah, same story here. I have talked to my doctors multiple times about it. There really is nothing they can do and I do understand why.

So I laugh and throw things away.
