    Is it really possible for someone to be infected with HIV and genuinely not know it? I would think that one would feel like crap with what that does to the body, even though I know it make take several months for one to register as positive. Being afraid and not wanting to come to terms with it is another thing.

    My pal was diagnosed with it last year, the Brit doctors said he may have been infected as long as 15 years ago.

    He died last month, no symptoms until 1 year before the end, and not in an obviously 'at risk' group so why would he get tested?

    Maybe, but in my opinion a majority of posters  is convinced that a relation with a Thai lady is doomed to fail. 

    Mostly, I suspect, based on the negative comments they read;

    but again in my opinion doesn't represent the majority of the cases. 

    Only the fools have relationships doomed to fail.

    Those who control their money and their women will have a series of successes.

    As to some of the popular meds now available, I have serious concerns about the side effects, as many reduce libido and can cause ED. My dad was became impotent by the time he was 62 and it was never resolved. That is not a position I would like to find myself in. I am 56 now. As a result, I would rather go for Rezum steam treatment than take 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors. 

    Been taking Doxazocin + Finasteride for three months now.

    Libido not reduced, weeing greatly improved (from not at all + catheter to normal).

     

    Small amount of weight gain (from 75Kg to 79Kg), probably more to do with no exercise while carrying a wee bag for a month.

    Not much dizziness unless I spring up from lying down, but I always had a bit of that.

    So far, so good.

    Safer and much better cardio if you run up the pilgrims trail.

    proper cross country running and should be a real 1hr burnout for you.

    I say safer in that theres no traffic to run you down but then theres snakes and tree roots that can leave you isolated without a leg to stand on...aint that right Britman2?

    Went up in the evening a couple of weeks back, in the rain and getting dark.

    Pit viper right in the middle of the trail just before Wat Palaat.

    So aside cigarettes and maybe slightly on alcohol (PH does not look that cheap either), it's more expensive in PH.

    I was buying 700ml bottles of San Miguel gin for 60 pesos in BizMart.

    Cheapest bottle of drinkable gin in Thailand is over 200bht.

    Democracy works when you have checks and balances. Dictatorship works when you don't. 

     

    Thailand isn't a unique and special country/culture. 

    Yes, the USA, UK and France have working democracies ............ but they don't work.

    Maybe time for them to try dictatorship.

    OK, which countries would you recommend for the cheapest round trip airfare? 

    I booked Chiang Mai to Da Nang return a week back, for a flight with AirAsia later this week.

    2,300bht total, $75

     

    CNX to Vietnam Hanoi/Da Nang/Saigon all around 1,500bht per flight (or less).

    No VISA required for me (as a Brit) either.
