Do you fear getting an STD/STI in Thailand?

Alpha84 · June 28

I am wondering how many people abstain from casual sex and quick hookups in Thailand simply because they fear catching an STI/STD?

Also, is it common for people to engage with sex workers in Thailand, but avoid having full intercourse and only engage in touching because of that same fear?

I don’t/wont engage with other women, yes I fear getting my third member chopped by the wife.

If I have Std means my wife is unfaithful, and time to leave.

To answer your question, I do not fear std anywhere.

You have got to be kidding me. 30 years ago that topic was laughable now its just plain silly. Our new thread starters are really something else. Its like AN has taken the biggest backward step it could possibly take.

Surely they’re trolls or jokers having a laugh at others expense. There’s so many of them, joined between April and June this year 😞

No

Yeah nope.. no fear here.

klauskunkel · June 28

Alpha, since becoming a member this month you have started 6 threads, all about women/ladyboys and sex. I'm not calling it an obsession yet, but it seems to me you are quite hormone-driven... Are you maybe 16 years old?

When I was younger and a bit wilder I had a few incidents where I was infected with something . Easily cured but very demoralizing. I have since become more selective especially since I have a regular partner and the last thing in the world I would want to do is pass something on to her.

Your mum will be well pissed when she finds out you are accessing the internet unsupervised.

Better (less anxiety ridden) living through modern chemistry.

Please, when will this forum shift away from these 'Thailand-sex' posts and queries. It's so boring.

Most of my mates talk regularly about their STI's, openly saying they went to the quack for a jab etc.

These guys are getting the ugliest girls, fat, older, unhealthy looking because they are on a budget.

It's not 100% guaranteed but spend the extra money, get a young beautiful girl, make sure she doesn't smell, it works for me.

What is the difference between an STD and the Cold, Influenza or Covid?

That's your science lesson on avoiding STIs? Young and beautiful means your safe? Sheesh.

Use a condom and you are good, mate.

Plenty of research shows that a significant number of sex workers in Thailand are HIV-positive, but if you wear a condom and stick to oral and vaginal sex you will be fine.

Without a condom, the risk of getting HIV via oral sex is almost zero, and the risk to the insertive partner via vaginal sex with a partner who is already positive is relatively low.

Your biggest risk would be having unprotected anal sex as the receptive partner, assuming you were gay or bisexual.

It's also a good idea to get tested about every 3 months for all common STIs. Best if your HIV test is done by PCR method since the detection method sensitivity during disease incubation is about 2 weeks as opposed to 6 months.

Good luck and be safe, mate 👍🙏

Good general advice. 👍🏼

The Thai Red Cross anonymous HIV testing clinic in Bangkok can provide a double test now. One is a test that provides results within a hour and can determine infection from exposures that occurred within the last 2 to 4 weeks. The other testing method they're using now apparently can detect an HIV infection that occurred within just 7 days after exposure.

When you refer to the risks of getting HIV from oral sex being nearly zero, are you referring to a woman giving oral sex to a man, a man giving oral sex to a woman, or both?

Thanks. I just skimmed those infographics, but I didn't see anything about cunnilingus?
