Gonorrhea (2 -7 days). No symptom, no need to get tested.

Chlamydia (2 - 14 days) no symptom, no need to get tested.

Trichomoniasis (not a big concern for men).

Syphilis (2 - 7 days it will start with a single painless papule that will become a painless ulcer at the second or third week after exposure. The ulcer is present at the 21st day after exposure maximum. No more than 21 days after exposure ). It's spread mainly in MSM and straight people using illicit drug. Mainly unprotected vaginal and anal sex . Most people with untreated syphilis won't have tertiary syphilis. Many people become negative in RPR VDRL and EIA igm even without treatment. FTA.ABS may become negative several years later. TPHA stays positive for several years. Syphilis is only transmitted when sores are present.

HIV: not a big concern for you. There are no std testing recommendations for straight men in CDC websites. In any std website, you only see gay flags..

Thanks a lot for the detailed report, you know this much, Sir, are you doctor or something, it looks like from your report straight men not to worry much about HIV and STDs if they have protected sex.

Bro,

Do these STDs you mentioned and other types does they have any symptoms, how much time it takes to show the symptoms in the body once infected?. Or it will stay hidden inside the body, and getting transmitted to others with whom we have unprotected sex.

Hepatitis is mainly spread from contaminated blood (shared needle and blood transfusion). It may also be spread from anal sex. But more common in gay sex. You start having symptoms like fever, loss of appetite, diarrhea, jaundice of the skin and dark urines (one -3 months after exposure) . Most people will clear acute hepatitis without medication before it becomes chronic.

HSV-2 (2 - 4 days after exposure) . Symptoms: Itching and tingling on your genitals, small blisters that break and cause painful ulcers. Most people don't have symptoms, outbreak often happens in people that have a problem with their immune system. Reccurrent outbreaks are less severe. When sores are present , It's easily transmitted but may also be transmitted without symptoms. The second most common STD

HPV is often asymptomatic, warts happen when you have a problem with your immune system, not all hpv virus cause warts. Warts usually happen 1 - 3 months after exposure. Your body will be able to clear the virus. Within 2 years maximum. Even without symptoms, hpv is easily transmitted. It's the most common std.

You should get treated for HepC, untreated Hepatitis is more dangerous and serious than other STDs (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis and trichomoniasis). HIV and hepatitis are the stds that kill the most people every year unlike other bacterial and viral stds that rarely cause trouble when left untreated.

Alcohol doesn't cause HepC but weakens your immune system that make a easy way for the virus. You may have contracted it from contaminated blood in a hospistal, Did you recently recieve blood? Now you have chronic hepC, but before having chronic hepc, you had acute hepc, most healthy people clear the virus when it's acute without treatment.

Avoid alcohol and follow your doctor, take the treatment.

You will still have antibodies to HepC in your body even after treatment.

It's good to know you saved your eye. Did you also test for Lyme Disease? I had uveitis in my two eyes caused by late stage Lyme disease 12 years ago. I also got penicillin. The only good thing the doctor did to me.

Yes, they tested for Tick Disease (Lyme).

[BrazilRio]

Never taken any illegal drug in my life. I might have 2-3 drinks per month. Nope never used Truvada or whatever a popper is. Never been in the gym a day in my life so nope never used Steroids. Always used condom for intercourse but went bareback for BJ. All I can tell you is I had a bunch of symptoms that I dismissed and was tested for many things. MS, Stroke, Tick Disease, Bartonella, Lupus and the only thing I came back positive on was Syphilis. You are entitled to your opinion and maybe you are living with MS with no issues. But I went almost completely blind in one eye and the only test that came back positive was Syphilis. I have given my history on here a few times already as rebuttal that you could not catch Syphilis from Oral Sex when I did.

Have you ever taken any medication before having syphilis? Did you already take antibiotics in the past? When I say steroid, I mean corticosteroids.

[Roaming Rob 1]

Did you use illicit drug? Are you heavy drinker? Neurosyphilis also happens in straight people using illicit drug, truvada and poppers. Did you use steroid in the past? Drug and alcohol fuck up immune system. I fucked many girls without condom and never got tested for STDs. I like getting sucked without condom. Check out your history. We are always exposed to bacterial. I have MS but I don't want to follow stupid doctors. I have been living with MS for over 10 years without medication, I feel healthy. Doctors are the biggest idiots that don't know what they are talking about.

From the test results that I could access online this is what it said:

T pallidum Ab Ser Ql IF. Reactive (Initial Results).

VDRL CSF Ql. Reactive 1:2 (Initial Results).

Reagin Ab NON-REACTIVE (After treatment).

I am not sure what is considered a Treponemal test. I provided you everything that I could access online from Dr visits. Some test done at Hospital are not posted for me to be able to see.

I might monger from time to time. But I have to admit it is not something high on my list to do after this past experience.

Could someone please advise of reliable BKK clinics for getting a full test, their turnaround time, and approx cost?

Thanks in advance.

(Have searched with terms and threw up other details.).

I am dermatovenereologist in Brazil. I also studied infectology. Having a second opinion is a good idea. Get tested again for confirmation. If the second doctor has the same opinion, take the treatment, hepatitis is curable. Unfortunately, you were unlucky if you contracted hepatitis in a hospital because blood is screened in the hospitals but sometimes people get infected but it's very rare. Most countries outside Africa, they screen blood many times before giving to a patient, they change needles all the time. If you are not vaccinated, get vaccinated for HepA and HepB. Ask your doctor if it's a good idea to get vaccinated for HepA and HepB.

I got screened for hepatitis C again for confirmation, it came back negative. I visited another doctor. I was already vaccinated for hepatitis be, he vaccinated me for hepatitis a.

Thank you Mongerforsex and XXL.

I tested 7 years ago, I was negative. I think I got it in the hospital. Are you doctor? I will start the treatment but I will see another doctor first.

I'm not. But she was not comfortable with self-injection so the doctor showed us how it was done. The main thing is to go ahead with the treatment long enough for the virus to vanish for good. The treatment had astonishingly few side-effects. This was 15 years ago. The treatment must have improved since then.

[MongerForSex]

I received blood 6 years ago. I will start the treatment. Are you doctor?

Brazilian friend of mine found herself with Hep C. She probably got it from a blood transfusion decades earlier. I injected her with interferon under the skin twice a week for 8 months. She also took Ribavirin. She was totally cured. It took a lot of effort and not giving up.

I am 55 and got screened for all STDs and everything came negative except for Hepatitis see. I tested positive for hepatitis see, how is it possible? I never barebacked girls (vagina or anus). I only practiced unprotected oral sex. Drinking too much alcohol causes hepatitis? Is it curable? When I google, it says that shit causes liver disease or cancer.
