Gonorrhea & Bar Girl : Fact File

[autanic]

I recently had sex with a bar girl and got the clap (Gonorrhea), this fact file will help people avoid the pain and discomfort, should they feel it appropriate.

What is Bar Girl ?

A Bar Girl is a female you take home with you, usually for paid for sex. There is a high risk of Gonorrhoea.

What is Gonorrhoea?

Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that can infect both men and women. It can cause infections in the genitals, rectum, and throat. It is a very common infection, especially among young people ages 15-24 years.

How is gonorrhea spread?

You can get gonorrhea by having vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone who has gonorrhea. A pregnant woman with gonorrhea can give the infection to her baby during childbirth.

How can I reduce my risk of getting gonorrhea?

The only way to avoid STDs is to not have vaginal, anal, or oral sex.

If you are sexually active, you can do the following things to lower your chances of getting gonorrhea:

• Being in a long-term mutually monogamous relationship with a partner who has been tested and has negative STD test results;
• Using latex condoms the right way every time you have sex.

Am I at risk for gonorrhea?

Any sexually active person can get gonorrhea through unprotected vaginal, anal, or oral sex.

If you are sexually active, have an honest and open talk with your health care provider and ask whether you should be tested for gonorrhea or other STDs. If you are a sexually active man who is gay, bisexual, or who has sex with men, you should be tested for gonorrhea every year. If you are a sexually active women younger than 25 years or an older women with risk factors such as new or multiple sex partners, or a sex partner who has a sexually transmitted infection, you should be tested for gonorrhea every year.

How do I know if I have gonorrhea?

Some men with gonorrhea may have no symptoms at all. However, men who do have symptoms, may have:

• A burning sensation when urinating;
• A white, yellow, or green discharge from the penis;
• Painful or swollen testicles (although this is less common).

Most women with gonorrhea do not have any symptoms. Even when a woman has symptoms, they are often mild and can be mistaken for a bladder or vaginal infection. Women with gonorrhea are at risk of developing serious complications from the infection, even if they don’t have any symptoms.
Symptoms in women can include:

• Painful or burning sensation when urinating;
• Increased vaginal discharge;
• Vaginal bleeding between periods.

Rectal infections may either cause no symptoms or cause symptoms in both men and women that may include:

• Discharge;
• Anal itching;
• Soreness;
• Bleeding;
• Painful bowel movements.

You should be examined by your doctor if you notice any of these symptoms or if your partner has an STD or symptoms of an STD, such as an unusual sore, a smelly discharge, burning when urinating, or bleeding between periods.

How will my doctor know if I have gonorrhea?

Most of the time, urine can be used to test for gonorrhea. However, if you have had oral and/or anal sex, swabs may be used to collect samples from your throat and/or rectum. In some cases, a swab may be used to collect a sample from a man’s urethra (urine canal) or a woman’s cervix (opening to the womb).

Antibiotic-Resistant Gonorrhea

Can gonorrhea be cured?

Yes, gonorrhea can be cured with the right treatment. It is important that you take all of the medication your doctor prescribes to cure your infection. Medication for gonorrhea should not be shared with anyone. Although medication will stop the infection, it will not undo any permanent damage caused by the disease.

It is becoming harder to treat some gonorrhea, as drug-resistant strains of gonorrhea are increasing. If your symptoms continue for more than a few days after receiving treatment, you should return to a health care provider to be checked again.

I was treated for gonorrhea. When can I have sex again?

You should wait seven days after finishing all medications before having sex. To avoid getting infected with gonorrhea again or spreading gonorrhea to your partner(s), you and your sex partner(s) should avoid having sex until you have each completed treatment. If you’ve had gonorrhea and took medicine in the past, you can still get infected again if you have unprotected sex with a person who has gonorrhea.

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)

What happens if I don’t get treated?

Untreated gonorrhea can cause serious and permanent health problems in both women and men.
In women, untreated gonorrhea can cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Some of the complications of PID are

• Formation of scar tissue that blocks fallopian tubes;
• Ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy outside the womb);
• Infertility (inability to get pregnant);
• Long-term pelvic/abdominal pain.

In men, gonorrhea can cause a painful condition in the tubes attached to the testicles. In rare cases, this may cause a man to be sterile, or prevent him from being able to father a child.
Rarely, untreated gonorrhea can also spread to your blood or joints. This condition can be life-threatening.

Untreated gonorrhea may also increase your chances of getting or giving HIV – the virus that causes AIDS.

they want to leave you with a memory token

It was so memorable.

[tonray]

Is this why they call it a bar 'fine' ?

[Jip99]

Most bar girls have the brains to avoid unprotected sex with the great unwashed,

[giddyup]

You recently had unprotected sex with a bar girl.

[SoiBiker]

You had unprotected sex with a prostitute?

You're lucky if all you got was a dose of the clap.

[luk AJ]

OP, you mean you only recently found out about sexual transmitted deseases?

May I ask how old you are?

[giddyup]

OP, you mean you only recently found out about sexual transmitted deseases?

May I ask how old you are?

And he has to explain what a bar girl is?

[shirtless]

To the OP wake up and smell the roses if you shag hookers you get VD , eventually

[petermik]

I recently heard about someone "falling" from a high-rise apartment block shouting as they fell "I,m a gonner here" so beware it can kill

[rogeroc]

To the OP (or anyone else for that matter) do you know what the actual statistical risks of catching gonorrhea are

1) in general

2) even if the bargirl actually has the infection

This would be useful.

Is it not also true that the dose of antiibiotics required to clear gonorrhea is less than required to sort out an ear infection.

What's sex,?

[CharlieH]

post containing medical advice/pharmaceuticals has been removed.

DO NOT give medical advice unless you are qualified to do so.

[Don Mega]

Will there be a painful or burning sensation when urinating if I get Gonorrhea in the rectum ?

[MaeJoMTB]

To the OP wake up and smell the roses if you shag hookers you get VD , eventually

I have (often), and I haven't.

Age 60 now, how much longer do I need before reaching 'eventually'?

RAW Score = number of partners you need to 'meet' before you would be likely to catch it.

(Note: not infected partners, just random girls)

Pregnancy is much easier to 'catch' than most STDs, and will have a much more profound effect on your life.

[rogeroc]

Thanks Maejo, so for gonorrhea you would on average need 179 unprotected encounters. Good to know the actual risks, helps to make informed choices.

[CharlieH]

(Note: not infected partners, just random girls)

So, a 5 minute walk down "walking street" would cover the 180 girls, so probably 99% chance then....

Two visits down that street and you would be doomed!

[MaeJoMTB]

And with your luck, 4 babies would be calling you daddy ........

Nah...cant happen......snip snip 30 years ago......but thats my secret weapon when the "accident" claims are made.

[rogeroc]

Well another way of looking at it, assuming 50/50 protected / unprotected would on average have to spend about half a million baht to catch the clap. And then another 100 baht to cure it !

[NickJ]

Get checked for Hep C now and report back.

[rogeroc]

How common is sexual transmission of hepatitis C?
Answers from Michael F. Picco, M.D.

Hepatitis C is transmitted primarily by exposure to blood containing the hepatitis C virus. Transmission rarely occurs from exposure to other infected body fluids, such as semen.

Your RAW scores are slightly flawed.

If your hunting ground is relatively small (like a smallish SEA tourist city) and the STD is already there, without much change of willing partners, the chances of 'painful p1ss' would be greatly increased............................

[pgrahmm]

ALL you have to do is take a look around at the men those girls are buckbangin' & you know you don't want to be next in line.....

No matter how cute/smokin' hot she is she's probably openned everything she has for business to men from 100+ different countries and their particular/peculiar tastes/desires/dissorders......From the sheeper's/goater's and more....

You want to eat off that menu?

A little alcohol & few baht and any thoughts of safety go out the window.....

[BKResort]

The side effect of getting gonorrhea is that you never will forget what stupid you were having sex with a prostitute (or bar girl) without using condoms...and how lucky you were not getting HIV instead..

[dutchisaan]

Come on people..., don't be to hard on the OP. Because thanks to the OP we know now what a bargirl is.

[eldragon]

I thought the clap was chlamydia? Anyway, theyre both more or less UTIs, right? Treatable with a z-pack. The bigger concerns are HPV (although fairly harmless) and herpes, as both can be transmitted whilst using a condom.

Take a read of the link provided by Maejo at post 17. The bit about HIV. If you do not believe it search and search on the Internet and you will find further confirmation of the truth.
