Syphilis rates 'soaring in China'
By Jill McGivering
BBC News
Syphilis is most prevalent amongst those in high-risk groups
A new report published in a leading medical journal suggests China is seeing alarming and rising rates of the sexually transmitted disease, syphilis.
The Lancet reports that China - which virtually eliminated syphilis in the 1960s and 70s - is now seeing the disease return with alarming intensity.
It reveals that reported rates have risen from 0.2 cases per 100,000 in 1993 to 5.7 cases per 100,000 in 2005.
Dr Myron Cohen, a co-author of the report, described the spread of the disease as "fantastically rapid".
Spreading HIV
The disease is most prevalent amongst those in particular high-risk groups, like commercial sex workers and men who have sex with men. In those groups, as many as one in ten to one in five has syphilis, according to some of China's top specialists.
If we are seeing syphilis spread, we have to be concerned that other STDs are spreading as well
Syphilis is an aggressive and dangerous disease in itself - but Dr Cohen says its rise also has wider implications, giving a sense of the rapid spread of other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) too.
"If we are seeing syphilis spread, we have to be concerned that other STDs are spreading as well," he told the BBC.
"Also we have reason to believe that syphilis helps to drive HIV. So we have to be concerned that untreated syphilis will amplify the spread of HIV as well."
Play it safe guys,

[quote=daynight]key is, you are abroad. chinese are a bit stingy with buying added bandwidth in these hard times. but for those in china, qq is pretty much the only thing that works.
and qq is a great girl collection tool. i am not using qq for that long, had sex with 3 girls. one girl i will meet soon, next week or so. indicated already that she likes anal sometimes and she doesn't mind to have me try. another one i meet from time to time, but she does not allow intercourse, prefectly ok with me, specially since her oral skills are good and she has a tasty pussy too.
after qq i am really losing interest in the p4p scene,[/quote]
ok, but the question still stands. i assume i'm not the only person here who is not in china and uses qq. have others also found the connection speed to be unbelievably slow these last weeks?
for a test, please load love.qq.com and check how fast it takes to build up in the microsoft internet explorer.
i've been using qq from n. america for several years. we're only talking about the chat systems as i can't find enough english on the website to be able to follow. i've been warned about the spread of various worms or viruses through qq, but i've never been affected until last week when i arrived in china.
i got infected with fujacks (check f-secure.com) and now machine doesn't seem to run right. spoolersv.exe keeps auto-starting. my it people say, "we told you so." i'm still not sure i've got rid of it.
the chinese look at me and say, of course you have a virus. this is china. it's normal. everybody's computer has many infections.
as far as speed yes it has been slower this past while from abroad. i attribute it to the cable breaks. much improved now.
as far as turning on qq again while in china to check speed, etc. no thanks! i've had my fun. time for someone else to toftt.

these last weeks have been maddening to use the qq friendship center or browse the girls qq photo galleries from here. i used to find nice girls there and hope to do so in the future.
as a result of the speed problems on that website i feel frustrated to the point of breaking something. hopefully this issue will be resolved well before summer, when i want to go to china again.
i got infected with same virus and info stealer and worm/delf.ae
most likely, i got it by loading a dvd movie that a friend downloaded off bitcomet.
over 1,000 infected files in a week. most of my .exe files were infected. good thing, i carried the essential programs with me and could reinstall them.
now i'm going to reformat the whole drive and start from scratch again.
good luck to you and those of you out there, make sure your virus is up to date. i use grisoft.com's free av program. caught the viruses from spreading but they did disabled the programs.

Can you be more specific about the busts?
I took a lady for "longtime" last night and had problems. Her cell phone kept ringing in the morning. The phone was locked and she would not, or could not, turn the damn thing off. She said it was her boyfriend wanting her to go home.
Naturally, I was very pissed off. What should I have done?

You could:
The rash way:
1) Smash the phone on the floor.
The gentle way:
2) Remove the Battery from the phone and keep it till she leave.

Santa,
As I see it, you did not have much choice. Did you try to turn off her phone? Did she keep answering it? Did she leave finally?
In these situations, I just chalk the experience up to bad luck and cut my losses. She probably set it up purposely using the calls as an excuse to cut out early, who knows? In any case, when you get into that situation and ask them to stay, their attitude and service always sucks anyway. This is why I almost never do LT unless I know the girl fairly well.
Just my POV.
OAH

The same way you were surprised I took my last girl in ZMT LT (and the next morning I realized, that I should not have done it) I was surprised, that you took her LT.
From my POV based on experience, it's always the same: First round very nice, like a GF, you are happy and decide to keep her, then comes the morning and the problems are starting.
My girl was like a gem during the first round, really like a GF and no complaints from her side (pain and so). Then in the morning she refused another round. Refused service, because of pain. Sorry? Pain, but few hours before. You didn't have pain?
I am really curious to know if this also happens to non-caucasians laowai's, to e. G. ABC. Are only we white, "da di di" guys target of such a cheat? Maybe other members can share there experience and ways to avoid it.
How to avoid? I am not sure, if you can avaoid such a situation when you tell them that you don't know if you take her ST or LT not knowing her service. Of course she will do or try her best to get LT. You are happy and decide to keep her and she got what she wanted. LT = more money.
Shouldn't we state clear at the shop, that we will not pay the full LT rate when there is no or not the same service in the morning? Like in the way. "You want LT and so more money? Give the whole time good/same levele of service and you get it. No or bad service in the morning and you only get the ST rate and be happy not to pay my time which I wasted for you by keeping you! "
Maybe we should start with a kind of checklist of services negotiated upfront her mama. Then you tick the service on the list which she gave for your satisfaction.
Or, just start and keep seeing it as it is: We buy service. No or bad service, no or less money. Period. But, we all don't know if this works and maybe which bad reaction this trigger in her.
Comments, welcome!
Santa, as you told me. "Never keep them LT, just only ST and [be]NO[/be] emotions! ". I did it yesterday and I was from my POV satiesfied.
Another choice:
1a) Activate the vibra call function and have fun. Or not, you never know in advance.

I have said before that we should ALWAYS tell the girl to turn off her phone before agreeing to take her. If she cannot turn it off, then do as AG says and ask her to remove the battery.
Her phone was locked.
#1 You do not want others to know where your room is.
#2 You do not want her having a chit-chat while she is working for you.
#3 You do not want her phone ringing while you are having fun.
#4 You do not want someone calling and asking her to hurry.
I failed to do as I teach.
