Thanks to them I started taking Cialis 5mg daily. A real life changer, I got my early morning bones back from  when I was 40. Helps with the Prostate too. (I am 71).

Is there a link between ability to have sex and low prostate problems...is that the link to cialis ?

Question: 
How high is the chance for a male person to get HIV infected by a female by having vaginal sex?

Answer:
The risk of HIV transmission during vaginal sex depends on several factors, including the HIV status of the individuals involved, the presence of any genital sores or ulcers, the use of condoms or other forms of protection, and the viral load of the infected partner. Generally, the risk of HIV transmission to a male during a single act of unprotected vaginal sex with an HIV-positive female partner is relatively low, but not zero. It is estimated that the risk per act is approximately 0.04% (about 4 in 10,000). However, it is important to note that repeated or consistent unprotected vaginal sex can increase the risk over time. To reduce the risk of HIV transmission, it is recommended to use condoms consistently and correctly, and for those at higher risk, to consider additional preventive measures such as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). It is always advisable to consult healthcare professionals for personalized advice and information.

You must be talking about western prostitution. No street walkers that I've seen in Thailand. They either work in bars, or outside wait ( sitting or standing in a doorway ) to be approached. Street walkers approach potential customers and initiate the contact.

 

Not referring to katoeys that do approach farangs on the street.

 

How about all the ones along Beach Road? Or standing around on the streets in Nana and Asoke? And Hua Lampong and China Town areas?

 

They are everywhere in those areas.

 

Studies were done in Thailand which compared non venue commercial sex workers with venue based ones.

 

For non-venue based, the study included street walkers and bars girls as well as other kinds of freelance operators.

 

Their prevalence is very high compared to venue based workers (which is only slightly higher than regular women)

with the chance of catching HIV from unprotected sex with an infected person at 1:2,500, it's probably more risky crossing the road.

Of course, and if you multiply that 1:2500 with the prevalence rate of the particular person the odds are obviously even more in your favor.

 

For a regular women in Thailand,  the prevalence was found to be 0.5% so if you multiply that by your 1:2500, the overall odds are 1 in several million per act of intercourse.

 

Your odds of being struck by lighting in your lifetime are far higher, never mind just crossing the road.

 

But if you choose a much higher risk person, the odds would end up far less in your favor. Could be 1 in tens of thousands per act of intercourse. 

 

I just don't see why anyone would want to sleep with a street hooker, like why take that risk when there are so many other options?

I think this figure is for a circumcised man, by the way. 

 

For regular guys, it's closer to 1:1000.

 

For women, the risk is about double. 

 

And if you are receiving anal - for those who do that - it's about 1:100.

My drinking phase was between dumping my partner and discovering Thailand, and I didn't have intercourse during those years, so never had the opportunity to experience that. Never going to have the chance again.

Other than that I think I had a wide ranging sexual experience in a few countries, which will have to suffice.

One of the saddest parts of growing old is knowing that I did actually have sex, but not remembering it.

Why are you not having sex?

Yeah, I feel the same way about going on motorcycles without a helmet. 

 

I just completely abstain from that.

 

Also: smoking, junk food, and drinking beer (well, at least I'm trying on the latter two)

I use the abstain method, not by choice.

plenty of bar girls or agogo girls and thaifriendly girls will have HIV, the trick is to avoid the high mileage one, so to suggest street sex workers are worse is just naive, they also work thaifriendly, but it's always buyer beware, some vetting required.

 

BTW I'm liking this Doxy PEP, so far so good, a year without catching an STI would be a good result

I am not suggesting it; it has been proven by the studies in Thailand as well as in the West.

 

And in the Thai study, they included bar girls and other freelancers (e.g. online sites) in the same group as street walkers.

 

This group of "non venue based CSWs" were found to have a much higher prevalence than venue based CSWs.

 

I'm just relaying the facts. Don't shoot the messenger.

You must have missed this "Street walkers approach potential customers and initiate the contact".

I do not consider calling out to a passerby is "approaching". I've been "approached" by street walkers in London, and it's different to Beach road or Sukhumvit.

Street walkers often ( far as I know ) are run by pimps, and that is NOT a Thai thing in the farang scene.

I stand by my statement that I've never seen female street walkers in Thailand.

 

And Hua Lampong

Gee, in all my hundreds of journeys that originated and ended at Hua Lampong I never noticed any streetwalkers there. Perhaps my glasses were defective, or I was there at the wrong time, every time.

 

Studies were done in Thailand which compared non venue commercial sex workers with venue based ones.

Ah, that must explain it. No doubt by some NGO with an agenda.

Whenever I was approached by uni students doing a "study" on why tourists were visiting Thailand, I always took great delight in informing them that I was there to see the temples. I suspect i wasn't the only one telling them porkies.

Your life is at stake every time you step outside your Thai home.

RTA being highest risk.

Crossing the road 2nd highest.

Catching hiv would be way down the risk list.

Hmmmm, so many other options- do tell us all about them.

I spent many decades in LOS and never found ordinary, non hooker Thai women flinging themselves at me for a chance to bonk a farang.

Besides, a Thai woman that will bonk a farang without a condom will bonk anyone without a condom, so just as much a risk as a hooker that will bonk without a condom.

 

I liked sleeping with bargirls. They usually spoke good English, did whatever I wanted to do ( outside the bedroom ), didn't require presents, movies or meals to convince them to open their legs, did open their legs, had a price up front, and if we didn't hit it off went away without creating a scene, or guilt, and if we did hit it off were able to go away to a beach with me for as long as I wanted.

The main thing was that they didn't play stupid mental games like an "ordinary" woman. I never had time for women that played games, as with my wife, which she found out the hard way.

Condoms work, or I never went with an infected woman and what is the chance of that?

Don't want to wear one, don't complain when dying of AIDS, or rather the opportunistic disease that uses AIDS to set up home.

Dying of a disease is never pleasant. If I reduced the risk by wearing a condom that was worth it. I wear a seat belt in the car, and a helmet on a m'bike for the same reason.

 

My number one rule is that if it can go wrong, eventually it will go wrong. One only has to be unlucky once.
