When single I always used a condom. Always. It's not just about HIV. There are dozens of lifelong STIs.

But most of them aren't stopped by condoms!

HIV yes, HPV no, Herpes no.

Can't think of any other lifetime STIs.

No sin sot to you but a gift that keeps on giving.   Life of a sexpat is all fun and games until you are one of the 600,000 known, known, aids victim.   Thanks for playing

Was she a virgin when you met her?

And if she wasn’t did you take her take down to the clinic to get her tested first?

She could have anything.

 

That is the question.

I did have both my Thai LTRs tested before moving in with them.

This is irrelevant considering the amount of shagging that goes on here outwith the spouse, him and her...

Any my understanding is that it's benign and the dangers are blown out of proportion.

 

But no going to dig up links from (non-reputable) sources. 

 

 

 

HIV is not benign. It is  a chronic disease and the complications that arise as one ages are serious and life altering, In Thailand, many people transition to  AIDs because they do not have access to the  medical care and support needed to keep it from transitioning.

The disease is not blown out of proportion. I wish this on no one.  People who downplay the risks are the reason why the disease still exists in large numbers.

i think drinking so much beer helps flush out the system before the virus can attach itself but not sure. And showering and soaping up maybe helps.

I think drinking too much beer make one think they are special and can't get the virus.

I'm very skeptical of CDC so I'm curious if gay men have overlapped into some of the other categories. 

 

Deep apologies to you and the board.

 

I misread and thought the 22% bisexual or rando homosexual encounter.

 

22% is the normies.

 

 

 

Well, let's all have a great pride month and be proud that 2/3 of HIV is spread through gay pride

Not life threatening but I'd say HPV  genital warts, herpes very possible condom reduces risk. I always wore a condom as an adult and have none of these. Anecdotal sure

 

A dozen debilitating infections. Even Chlamydia could indirectly threaten life of woman left untreated

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.

 

It only takes one and you have HIV for life.

 

Hundreds of thousands of Thais are HIV positive.

I might go and get a test today.

 

 

Please don´t try a career as a doctor.

By far one of the biggest expat lies.

Risk of man catching from an infected woman is 1 in 5000.

So if 1 in 10 women were infected, you'd need 50,000 unprotected shags with random women to 100% catch it. (CDC figures)

 

I did have both my Thai LTRs tested before moving in with them.

So even less chance.

 

So, similar odds to getting creamed on a scooter.  But a lot of the same guys ragging on the helmetless don't object to going into a short-timer unprotected.

It is not mutilation. You don't agree with the practice, so just leave it at that. No need to invent idiotic claims.

Are you even aware that  there are multiple circumcision techniques and methods?

A lifetime on heavy antibiotics has no impact on the body and ones immune system? Seems everything I read points to taking as few antibiotics as infrequently as possible.

Syphilis is treated with penicillin, unless you let it get to stage 3 then it's too late

A example of pi ss poor knowledge, PrEP isn't an antibiotic

I just looked on Red Cross Bangkok website 2.5% (287) of those tested between Jan and Apr (11,658) were HIV+. 

 

Most of the guys who don't use a condom don't get tested so many are carriers of HIV. 

 

Daft not to use PrEP if having multiple sex worker partners 

I did know two farangs who died of AIDS here in Phuket, Few years back,
