500,000 Thais infected with HIV but only half of them get treatment

[TheyCallmeScooter]

Rambling excuse for being a sexpat. Easy enough to find a good lady here without going around the bars.

Yes, don't put up with Western women's exploitation, but no, don't think you can get your own back here, you will get the short straw.

I'm not a sexpat. Sex is a sensory chore for men. To be enthused enough to pursue it, you have to be reduced to needing validation. If I needed validation, I'd be in real trouble. I can't be validated by women selling themselves, for money or for love (but it's peculiar how the honest, simple transaction is considered morally inferior to the dishonest emotional hijacking).

Love blinds its victims so wanting it is malicious or virtuous? Marriage binds it's victims and obligating labour is romantic or slavery? Enabling dependent women reduces women to dependency. You label sex refugees "despicable", as if their unwillingness to be Christian soldiers or married slaves in the Western war machine was shameful. They might feel the same way about you.

A good start to reduce new cases would be sex ed. In school but too many old fuddy duddies reject the notion of sex ed in schools so hiv and teen pregnamcies will comtimue unchecked

I'm not sure it's fuddy duddies so much as dependent mothers who fiercely protect Society's children from being educated about sex. Lies and violence are rated G but sex and adult themes are rated MA or R18. This world is nuts. If I could find the stork that brought me here...

500,000?

How many Thais live in Pattaya again?

(just kidding)

500,000? This sounds like stats from 10 yrs ago. While I do not have a link but read more than once that it's more like 2%+ of the population. It just doesn't make sense the reasons given why ppl would not get treatment if they're subsidised. Embarassment/shame. This is so ridiculous, it's your life.

Today a person can live with HIV and it is now not called a death sentence but a long term disease like diabetes

Diabetes has a much more detrimental effect on your quality of life, and life expectancy, then HIV now.

to be honest the only people in thailand that regularly use condoms are bargirls in tourist areas i think

Students, Officeworkers having an affair or BF and all the locals i did meet so far didnt use them and didnt want to use them and really didnt care about the consequenses of their actions.

also they dont go to a doctor if the feel like they have a STD because someone could talk or see them there and they would lose face ...

In the last few weeks a girl from

Babydolls agogo Soi 15 off Walking Street

unfortunately died of hiv after working there a long time.This small skinny girl had been with hundreds of customers and

Babydolls has tried to hush it all up.

So use a condom guys and safe sex
