Thanks for the update, guys! It would have been better if the new government had changed that stupid law all together but I suppose that this would be a "loss of face" for the country. Anyway, if...

Chihob,

I took mefloquine, which is the usual malaria prevention medicine and it didn't have any effect on my sex drive. Malaria is endemic over there, so I wouldn't go without taking this stuff.
