HIV Testing Chiang Mai

[Tywais]

Herpes is a far more likely outcome from (inadvertently, but nonetheless) unprotected sex with a sex worker. I know a guy who...

Condom (intact or broken) is no protection against herpes.

Supposedly so widely spread that 1 in 5 Americans have it (US survey).

Doesn't show symptoms within 2 weeks either.

The average incubation period after exposure is 4 days (range, 2 to 12). ^[7] The vesicles break and leave painful ulcers that may take two to four weeks to heal. Experiencing these symptoms is referred to as having an "outbreak," or episode.

CDC

When genital herpes symptoms appear, it's usually 2 to 14 days after a person is exposed to the virus. But most people don't notice their first outbreak.

And sometimes people get their first symptoms months or even years after being infected.

I guess everything went well for previous writer since no more posts came out. Now i have same problem. Had sex with bar girl and condom broken... Damn. This girl was not professional sex worker though so I didnt pay any money for her. She didnt even really drink alcohol so i bought her one drink and thats it (what kind of bar worker is that?) but since she was so willing to go with me it is very likely she has history with many other guys. I think the risk in my case is really low but I have such a week mind when it comes to this matter... Going to be fricking long 3 months unless i manage to drag the girl to test first. Most people wouldn even think about this staff I think...

As so many astute posters have postulated the chance of getting HIV from a broken condom with a girl is very low. Likewise there would be no symptoms at this stage bar rampaging paranoia.

For anyone that does get HIV apparently MMS (Google it) has cured many in Africa with Jim Humbles free programs. A company in Thailand sells it, about $20. Also good for a bunch of other stuff.

Sounds like she's the one who should be worried!

An amateur bar/sex worker who's apparently not very good at the commercial aspects of the business.

But anyway: don't worry too much. Watch for any symptoms (of typical STDs) and possibly get tested at some point down the line, but again I wouldn't be too concerned.

If you do want to ask her to get tested (in which case you should go together) then it would be a really good opportunity to give her 1500 baht or so. Don't forget that she will have similar concerns to yours, and offering to get her tested (as well as get yourself tested for her peace of mind) may be a nice thing to do, as well as an opportunity to make good on the earlier freeloading. (I don't mean that in a bad way, but she does need money to live and pay the rent, and buying her a Fanta didn't contribute significantly to her cost of living.)

MMS does not cure HIV, if it did the whole world would want it, It sounds more like s scam , it claims to cure Malaria and maybe it helps against some diseases but its not a miracle cure.

Went to McCormack Hopsital today.

Had blood tested for uric acid and HIV.

Waiting time 3 hours for result.

Cost for two items 610 baht.

Result delivered in sealed envelope.

Needed to produce passport.

Overall good procedures in a professional setting.

That's good news, a positive result.

^ Actually hope it was negative not positive.

[soblue2001]

As others have said it's 99.99% you'll be fine.

I also recommend the Dr on Loi Krow Road.

Uric acid through the roof , next stop gout! HIV negative.

Uric acid through the roof , next stop gout! HIV negative.

Even with high Uric acid levels, if you keep well hydrated and avoid certain foods (especially pate for example) which bring it on, then you can easily avoid gout.

[Loaded]

gout's a bugger, do everything and anything you can to avoid attacks

[jonwilly]

Try 

http://www.support-the-children.org/

The good Doctor will probably give you a severe talking to for not using a Quality condom but both Dr. P and her husband Dr. V are genuine caring folk who have done more than anyone to help orphans of HIV in CM.

Gout, Alloric is what my DR recommends to reduce/rid uric acid.

I just went to Love Foundation last week. I think this foundation is one of the best foundation in Chiang Mai.

The staff is very friendly. And everything went well. I recommend this place to every foreigner here.

Indeed CM Mediclinic for the most accurate HIV Testing & HIV PrEP & PEP. They actually have their own doctor who specializes in HIV and has done for sometime now. Other places seems to be subcontracting just any old healthcare worker with no real experience. For more info -  http://www.cmmediclinic.com/hiv-prep-chiangmai.html

CMRAM used to do it in house, the room opposite the main door, 250bht, and the results in 2 (ish) hours.

How many shill accounts do these people have pushing this business without paying for advertising? Why not shut the thread down?

[holy cow cm]

9000 baht? 2k to tuk tuk and 7k to girl? at 7k the girl should have a golden ring.
