No, 4-5% chance with infected female

 

You're just quoting some random statistic. Having lived in Pattaya for five years many moons ago I can tell you from experience many of the women sort of just live with Chlamydia.

 

I doubt health care in Pattaya is any better, the place looks far more risky

 

Unless you're telling me that a half hour bj you have 5% chance of contracting - which I doubt as well.

It doesn't seem to get much of a mention here, but apart from STD's, there are potential problems related to unwanted pregnancies.

 

Not sure at all on those women who are "on the pill" or some other system of pregnancy prevention these days!

 

I am happy to be enlightened!

Do some research and you'll find a similar answer, gonorrhea 20-30% from infected partner

That's interesting, thank you. Pretty much assumed if partner infected it will be contracted with near certainty. Tbh I've no practical application for it I've been married for 15 years. Eating pussy is on the table 🙀!

evidence from over 40 studies which shows that male circumcision provides significant protection against HIV infection; circumcised males are two to eight times less likely to become infected with HIV.² Furthermore, circumcision also protects against other sexually transmitted infections, such as syphilis and gonorrhoea,³,⁴ and since people who have a sexually transmitted infection are two to five times more likely to become infected with HIV,⁵ circumcision may be even more protective.

 

 

Regardless, systematic studies find women generally prefer circumcised men, across all cultures, even in cultures where it is not the norm. The most prominent reasons stated are that they find it more attractive, they appreciate the greater hygiene, and increased sexual pleasure.

Besides having some medical and hygienic benefits, a circumcised penis is more attractive. There is a survey that given a choice, 89% of girls preferred a circumcised penis, and only 11% prefer an uncircumcised penis

 

 

 

 

 

I've found women usually prefer men with 2,000bht.

Hey, if the shoe fits where it. The guy says some pretty stupid sh!t almost daily.

 

Since old DT has been and is the US President, his sophomoric BS goes down in history and a lot of it is so stupid it comes to the front of ones mind for some fun repartee!

 

So, someone suggesting drinking lots of beer "to flush the HIV out" is just as moronic as suggesting shining a bright light up your butt might cure Covid 19.

 

Thing is trump never said that. You just sound strange.

I admit I am guilty of not using condoms unless made to. They are annoying.

And most of the Thai women don’t seem to care either.

I might go and get a test today.

 

Even if you got the partner tested just before intercourse. No test will be safe as it can take a long time for HIV to be detected in a test.

how long after infection can HIV be detected in tests?

The "window period" is the time between HIV exposure and when a test can detect HIV in your body. This period varies depending on the type of HIV test used:

 

• Nucleic Acid Tests (NATs): These tests look for the actual virus in the blood and can detect HIV the soonest. They typically detect HIV 10 to 33 days after exposure.
• Antigen/Antibody Tests: These tests look for both HIV antibodies (produced by your immune system) and p24 antigens (a part of the virus).
  • Lab tests using blood from a vein can usually detect HIV 18 to 45 days after exposure.
  • Rapid antigen/antibody tests using a finger-prick blood sample can usually detect HIV 18 to 90 days after exposure.
• Antibody Tests: These tests look only for HIV antibodies. Most rapid tests and self-tests are antibody tests. They can usually detect HIV 23 to 90 days after exposure. Antibody tests that use blood from a vein can detect HIV sooner than tests done with blood from a finger stick or oral fluid.

It's important to remember:

• No HIV test can detect HIV immediately after infection.
• If you get a negative result after a potential exposure, it's recommended to get tested again after the window period for the specific type of test you took.
• If you think you've been exposed to HIV in the last 72 hours, talk to a healthcare provider immediately about post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), which can prevent HIV infection if taken promptly.

At Red Cross they do a 15 days over exposure test and the normal 30 day test
