TikToker Chris Olsen — who rose to fame posting videos with his ex-boyfriend, Ian Paget, as well as with famous friends like singer Meghan Trainor — shared a candid and hilarious storytime video on Tuesday about a recent visit to the doctor.

Olsen began the story by saying he'd just gotten tested for chlamydia, which he's already had three times. He quipped that he was sharing the fact to "end the stigma," and that it's how he's gotten to know the nurse who's conducted his test. They've become so familiar that this time she struck up a conversation with him about his dating preferences.

"I like someone who identifies as a man, and identifies as someone over six feet tall – and that doesn't mean they have to be six feet tall. They just have to have the aura of someone who is," Olsen said to the nurse.

The nurse thought her son might fit the bill, so she shared his name with Olsen. This is when his storytime got even more ridiculous and elaborate.

Olsen said after looking him up and finding him on Instagram, he realized that the nurse's son "is the ex of one of the men who has ghosted me this past year," he said in the TikTok. "And in their Story, they're hanging out."

Nevertheless, there turned out to be a happy ending after all.

"She just called me and told me I do not have chlamydia this time," Olsen said. "So little wins."

Even though his story was mostly in jest, Insider reached out to Olsen if he wanted to comment further on destigmatizing STI testing.

The TikToker has not shied away from talking about his personal life, however enviable or difficult.

In addition to a recurring series where he vlogs himself fetching coffee for celebrities and friends, which has included Kamala Harris and JoJo Siwa, Olsen frequently shares viral storytime videos, including monologues about being swindled by a man he thought was hitting on him at the gym and spending a full year in a "hard" and "mean" rehab before becoming sober from alcohol.
