You can check either of these two websites for Apartments near Help.

I am not sure about Carnaval prices, however.

Thanks fellas for all the info regarding DATY and STD/HIV transmission. I'll most likely stick to my usual practice of not doing DATY for quick one-time garotas and do it for garotas that I dig enough to hang with for more than a day. For some reason, this method works for me and gives me more of a chance to check out the goods before going down. I'll be in Rio Jan 20th-29th if anyone would like to meet up for a cold Brahma.

As to the chances of HIV from oral sex and DATY...a couple of studies.

A new laboratory study of mouth tissues suggests that unprotected oral sex does have the potential to transmit HIV, although experts say it is still les risky than other transmission routes.

The results, published in the March issue of the Journal of Virology, suggest that, even without any cuts or sores in the mouth, HIV may still be able to infect oral tissue under the right circumstances.

Dr Xuan Liu, of Charles R Dres University of Medicine and Science in Los Angeles, along with colleagues at the University of California, Los Angeles, took oral tissue samples from over 50 healthy, HIV-negative patients and exposed the tissue to three different types of HIV, says Reuters Health.

They found that two of the types could infect and reproduce within cells called keratinocytes that line the surface of the mouth, and that these cells can then transfer the infection to adjacent white blood cells.

The level of infection in the mouth cells, though, was less than a quarter of that seen in white blood cells.

"HIV is able to get into (keratinocytes), but it reproduces less than it would in blood cells ... because saliva contains an HIV inhibitor," Liu said.

Keratinocytes are, under certain circumstances, able to release the virus to blood cells, which proliferate much faster than keratinocytes. Thus, the transfer of the infection from keratinocytes to white blood cells may provide a "foothold" for HIV in the body.

The researchers examined three cell receptors that HIV uses to latch onto and infect cells. They did not study CD4, a receptor found on white blood cells that is the most common target of HIV.

They found that keratinocytes have two receptors that bind to HIV. However, when the research team used inhibitors to block HIV from attaching to these receptors, they noticed that they did not completely block transmission. This suggest that the cells may have low levels of other receptors used by the virus, Liu said.

Further research is necessary to determine if the laboratory results mimic what actually happens in a living patient. It also remains to be seen how applicable the current study is to a potential treatment.

Dr. Jeffrey Laurence, senior scientific consultant for programmes at the American Foundation for AIDS Research (AmFAR) and director of AIDS Virus Research at Cornell's Weill College of Medicine, believes the findings indicate there is "no reason for altering safer sex guidelines that have been talked about for over 15 years."

"No exchange of infected bodily fluids is absolutely safe, but kissing has been shown to be of no risk, and oral sex is of much lower risk than the other traditional factors known to spread HIV."

Second report.

In June 2002, a study conducted amongst 135 HIV-negative Spanish heterosexuals, who were in a sexual relationship with a person who was HIV-positive, reported that over 19,000 instances of unprotected oral sex had not lead to any cases of HIV transmission. The study also looked at contributing factors that could effect the potential transmission of HIV through oral sex. They monitored viral load and asked questions such as whether ejaculation in the mouth occurred and how good oral health was. Amongst HIV-positive men, 34 per cent had ejaculated into the mouths of their partners. Viral load levels were available for 60 people in the study, 10 per cent of whom had levels over 10,000 copies. Nearly 16 per cent of the HIV-positive people had CD4 counts below 200. The study, conducted over a ten year period between 1990 and 2000, adds to the growing number of studies which suggest varying levels of risk of HIV transmission from oral sex when compared to anal or vaginal intercourse.

I guess tit for tat is OK. I am not one that will turn in my ticket to Rio...going on the 12th.

This is in regards to the Brazilian effort to match the US requirement to photo and print all aliens coming into the US.


Mayor Cesar Maia said the extra immigration checks would damage tourism - particularly in Rio.

He called the measures, introduced on Thursday, naive and reciprocal.

The decision by Judge Julier Sebastiao da Silva followed US plans to introduce tougher immigration checks on Brazilians entering the United States.

He made the order after a Brazilian Government office filed a complaint in a federal court over the new US immigration measures.

From 5 January, travellers from all countries which need a visa to enter the US will undergo the same checks.

This is their sovereign right to do if they want to do it

Adam Ereli
US state department spokesman
"I consider the act absolutely brutal, threatening human rights, violating human dignity, xenophobic and worthy of the worst horrors committed by the Nazis," said Mr Sebastiao da Silva in the court order.

Police in Brazil said they began checking fingerprinting and photographing US visitors from Thursday.

A federal police spokesman said Mr Sebastiao da Silva's order could be overturned by Brazil's justice system if it was thought he had acted outside of his powers.

Anti-terror measure

The US said it would watch closely the new Brazilian rules, but stressed that it was the country's right to impose such requirements.

"Our consulates general in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro are monitoring developments on this issue closely," said deputy US state department spokesman Adam Ereli.

But he added that the US had no plans to complain or even discuss the regulations with the Brazilian authorities.

"This is their sovereign right to do if they want to do it," he told reporters.

Mr Sebastiao da Silva's order was in response to Washington's new rules as part of increased anti-terrorism measures.

They aim to identify people who have violated immigration controls, have a criminal record or belong to groups that Washington has on its list of terrorist organisations.

An official from the US Department of Homeland Security said at least two of the 19 hijackers in the 11 September 2001 attacks could have been stopped if this security system had been in place.

It will not apply to citizens of 27 nations who do not require a visa to enter the US.

While in Rio in Nov, I spent a day and night with a garota from L'uomo on her day off, and also spent a day and night with a garota from Monte Carlo on her day off. They each volunteered to me that the girls in both places are checked by a doctor once a week and have their blood tested every two weeks.

Interestingly, both also stated that they did not like going to Help after they finished work at the therma because they got tired of seeing so many familar faces chasing other garotas. However, I did see a few of their co-workers at Help, usually around 2 in the morning or so.

Finally, earlier posters have complained about all the kids that harrass you when you leave Help. I spent a part of an evening watching the whole exiting Help scene. The kids would harrass guys and their garotas, but as soon as a taxi driver would tell the kids to back off, they would. I also saw the taxi drivers giving some change to the kids - I presume this was payment for their harrassment of customers (and to generate cab fares for the drivers). After about 2:30 or 3:00, the kids all seem to disappear and you leave Help with your garota and just walk back to your place - no hustling by the cabbies and no kids bothering you.

Transmission of HIV through oral sex is rare but it can happen.

http://www.thebody.com/cdc/oralsex.html


Now for men getting a BBBJTC is almost nil and the person giving is about the same as long that there are no open sores or wounds inside the oral cavity. And from what I've read if they partake in the consumption of semen the stomach acids kill on contact any virus.

I've tried to explain this to many women but they just won't buy it

Yes you can get HIV from DATY. Use protection!

[IrishLager]

Re: DATY in Brazil,

Isn't there a risk of catching HIV or something else from performing DATY on a garota? I read a report somewhere in WSG awhile ago where someone had said that saliva neutralizes HIV. I'm not sure I believe that, but I've done DATY on Brazilian garotas before and haven't had any problems. I'm going to Rio on Jan. 20th-29th and although I'm a big fan of DATY, I'm having second thoughts about doing it this time. Can anyone shed light on this subject? I know I'm gonna be tempted, so any additional knowledge would be much appreciated. Obrigado!!

What's up guys? I am new to this forum and I can really use your help with a question I have.

Question: I am heading down to Rio De Janeiro for Carnaval 2004 by myself. I would like to know if it is easy to find economical 1-bedroom studios/apartments/condos for rent near the Rio Othon Palace Hotel or club HELP? If so, are these apartments safe? I know there are people on the streets renting out apartments, but are these apartments reliable and safe?

I did some research online regarding apartments. However, all of the agencies renting out apartments are doing so at an extremely high cost, for example $100 U.S. per night! I think I can get a better deal once I land in Rio and ask around for 1-bedroom studios/apartments/condos. I am not sure though. I would appreciate any advise, help and info you can provide to me.

Thanks in advance!

Rio Bob,

I did not take the picture. This is one which she sent me. I am sure it was taking by that photographer guy who always walks around (scruffy beard, etc). Anyway, I remember one year he was walking around with his sunglass turned upside down. We all started doing that at the pria. That was in the good ole days when Jona' ran the chair "mafia".

[Teddy Booker]

I will be arriving in Rio on January 20th for about a month. Looking for a fellow monger who can educate me on the sites and pleasures of Rio.

Thanks.

This was back in early October.

I arrived at the airport and used a metered taxi this time to Copacabana. The fare was R22. When I prepayed last year, it was R49. After checking into the hotel, I bought all the neccessities like spring water and sandals from the supermarket. At about 7:00pm, Tuesday, I went to Centaurus, and there wasn't as many drop dead garotas like last year. There was probably 3 or 4 that I would rate a 9. Maybe, Tuesday, is a little slow or all the 10s are busy upstairs. I decided to go to the bar and get a beer, and started chatting up a tall brunette by the name of S******. She spoke some English because she says that she took 5 years of English, but now she's in law school. We sat down and started french kissing while my right hand was grabbing and squeezing her ass. Tuesday must be a little slow because, one by one, all these blonds started coming over and asking if I wanted a blond garota to go with the brunette. I kept saying no or "um a de meis". The brunette thought it was pretty funny whenever I said "um a de meis", but all these louras(blonds) kept walking away acting upset. Also, I noticed that all the garotas that I was with last year all remembered me, and they all kept coming over to give me a kiss. This one chick, Mo****, that I knew from last year, came over and started tongue kissing, S******, the brunette that I was with, to show me what a great time all three of us could have, but I turned her down. Then, I made the mistake of making eye contact with a garota that was sitting across the room. She was average looking compared to the other Centaurus babes. She came over and started rubbing my crotch and french kissing me and, pretty soon, we were doing a "triple kiss". This is when all three of us would tongue kiss each other at the same time. This is so much fun. When it was time to go up, I chose only the brunette. I felt bad afterwards because that other girl was working hard kissing me and trying to convince me to change my mind. When we got to the room, I asked if I could take a picture, and she was cool with it. While she was naked, she didn't want her face to be shown so she'd turn around. She was lying on the bed, and I put my dick next to her face, and she knew exactly what I wanted her to do. She gave a great BBBJ. She rode me cowgirl and then reverse cowgirl while moaning. Then, I went down on her, and she came. Afterwards, when I was on top, missionary, she said "cum for me". I was thinking that I might not be able to because I was still tired from the flight. Then, she said somehing that shocked me, "cum in my mouth. That was all the motivation that I needed, so I jacked off all over her mouth. I just love Rio. Afterwards, I went back to my hotel to make some calls to friends to let them know that I've arrived safely and to get some cash. Then, I went Luomo which was just across the street from my hotel. After changing and showered, I went to the bar and asked for a beer then this one chick kept smiling at me and ask if I remembered her. I wasn't sure, but then she told me her name was T***** which was when I remembered her even though she changed her hair color. We had a couple of beers, and she told me most of the garotas at Luomo were new and that the ones from last year made enough money and left. Also, she now had to work 4 days a week instead of 3 days because the mananger said that there wasn't enough terma garotas Luomo. She told me that her friend C****, with whom I partied with a couple of times last year, moved to Germany with her German boyfriend and only comes back for Carnivale. I could've sworn she told me last year that she had an American bf. T***** spoke some English and told a couple of Black Americans who were with Black Brazilian girls that "she your sister". The American guys simply nodded. When they started playing some hip-hop music is when she got on the dance floor, and, pretty soon, she dragged me onto the dance floor. These Brazilian gals definately can shake that azz. I was doing dances from the early 90s and even 80s, but the ladies thought they were all new dances from America. Afterwards, I did a one hour programa with her. She let me take a picture of her and even topless. She gave me a BBBJ which was strange because last year, she was one of those terma garotas who refuse to blow me without a condom. Since I got off at Centaurus, I wasn't sure if I would be able to get it up, but the thought of blowing me bare back when she refused to do it last time, turned me on. I couldn't get off, but I got her off twice(once orally). A thought cross my mind to grab the camera when she was about to have an orgasm, but I doubt if she would've let me.

It's only my first day in Brazil, and I've had so much fun.

Cover that bottom, Brazilian judge orders

Pedestrians walk past the controversial advertisement for this month's Brazilian Playboy magazine in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on Tuesday

December 19, 2000
Web posted at: 9:28 PM EST (0228 GMT)

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (Reuters) -- A Brazilian judge said on Tuesday he had ordered the naked bottom of this month's Brazil Playboy cover girl on billboard ads in Rio de Janeiro be covered up to protect children from obscenity.

Judge Siro Darlan ordered that official black-and-white notices be plastered over the backside of Carla Perez, a well-known television presenter and dancer.
