To find the sex of your rabbit, examine the rabbit's external genitalia. While he is on his back, part the fur between his legs. You or your assistant should gently hold him in place while you part the fur with your hand. If he starts to squirm too much, try to sooth him by talking to him and petting him. You don't want him to get hurt while you are working. Male rabbits have testicles, which are visible on the outside of their bodies. These are located in his groin between the back legs. Rabbit testicles are long and narrow, rather than round and ball-like as on dogs. Look for two torpedo-shaped bulges, one on either side below the skin. They are usually slightly furred and purple in color. The scrotum can be covered in fur, so you may need to dampen the fur in this area with water to make the testicles clearer to see. Testicles can usually be detected from 10 weeks of age. Before this age, they can be tiny and hard to spot reliably. However, no matter the rabbit's age, it's easy to check before you look for the penis. In a well-developed adult male rabbit, the answer will be obvious because you can spot his testicles right away. If you don't spot testicles straight away, be aware that frightened rabbits can pull their testicles into the abdomen and make them disappear. Talk to the rabbit, stroke his side, and see if you can encourage him to relax. Then check a second time. If you still don't see them, it is inconclusive. Check the genital openings instead. You now need to look to see if your rabbit has a vulva or a penis. To locate these, gently part the fur between the back legs until you identify a small mound. This area is the vent and contains the opening to the anus and the reproductive tract. To see it more clearly, apply gentle pressure on either side, which opens up the area and makes things clearer to see. The genital opening is the one farthest from the tail. Apply gentle pressure with a finger and thumb on either side of the opening. If the rabbit is female, you will see a slit-like structure, commonly described as a letter I. If the rabbit is male you will see a round structure, which can be described as an O. The opening closest to the tail is the anus. This is identical in both males and females. If you look closely, you can check it is the anus by watching for the muscular winking of the anal ring. If you want to be extra sure, or it you cannot distinguish between the I and the O, you can double check your finding. Apply gentle pressure at the base of the opening, pushing gently towards the rabbit's back. If a penis is present, it will sometimes protrude and become more obvious as a tube-like structure. If a vulva is present, the lips tend to peel back in a petal shape. There are some people that say you can tell the sex of a rabbit by looking at his physical characteristics. Although mature adult bucks can have a heavier skull than female rabbits, this is not a reliable way to sex a rabbit. Unfortunately, the external physical characteristics, such as the size and shape, are not distinctive enough between the sexes to make this useful with regards to determining the sex of your rabbit. Always check the rabbit's genitalia to be completely sure of the sex of your rabbit. Checking your rabbit's sex at home is usually effective. If it is important that you know the sex of your rabbit for breeding or other purposes, take your rabbit to your vet for verification. The vet will be able to tell for sure what the sex of your rabbit is. If you have multiple rabbits, you can take them at the same time.

With the shemagh completely open, match one corner with the corner diagonally opposite from it, folding the square in half and into a triangle. This style is not necessarily the most practical, nor is it especially traditional, but it can be a casual and trendy way to wear a shemagh.

Be as clear as possible that you don't want your parents to find out about your test. Make sure that the staff at the clinic will not accidentally call your house to deliver your results, or send them to your house through the mail. Ask the staff to make a note of such details in your file in order to prevent accidents. Also make sure your parents won't receive a bill for the testing or treatment. Tell the doctor or nurse about how you are feeling about the testing or your health. They are there to help both your body and mind. Express concerns about depression or fear if you have them. They will be able to help or provide additional resources. Be prepared to answer some very invasive questions about your sexual history, but know that they're not asking these questions to judge you. They need that information to make the best decisions about your testing and health. Furthermore, there's nothing you've done that they haven't heard before, so be perfectly honest in all of the answers you give to their questions. Also be prepared that they may need the names of your sexual partners, especially if any of your tests are positive. The best way to deal with your situation and to prevent future mishaps is to educate yourself. Before the test begins, ask them to walk you through the process before they begin to set your mind at ease. It's easier to stay calm when you know exactly what will happen. The wait-time on the test results will vary based on what diseases they're testing for and the backlog in the clinic's laboratory, so ask how long you'll have to wait to hear back from them. Don't put your house number down for the result delivery. Give them your cell phone number, or that of a friend or trusted relative (with his or her permission, of course) if you don't want to risk your parents picking up your cell phone. If the clinic staff doesn't like that idea, ask them to wait for you to call them for your results, rather than them contacting you. It may also be possible for you to access your results online.
