I am hoping to get full testing when I visit Tijuana. I periodically do anonymous testing in us. This time, I will be there for 5 days in Tijuana.

Any suggestions on clinics, time it takes to get the results, prices etc.

Amazon sells the individual packets of Astroglide.

The lube in a condom size package for $1 from the front desk is my favorite. I just cannot find them in any store to buy in bulk.

Dr. Miguel Gonzalez, ". . . Conventional management includes antiviral medication such as acyclovir or famcyclovir, however, these drugs are not eradicating the virus, but rather improving the symptoms. On the other hand, natural supplements such as coconut oil have been shown to have the ability to actually destroy the herpes virus, and also prevent secondary bacterial or fungal herpes infections.

Monocaprin, one of the monoglycerides of capric acid and lauric acid, were found to be the most active of all the lipids tested, causing a greater than 100,000 fold reduction in the virus (HSV type 1) titer in 1 minute at a concentration of 20 mM, is the result of a study featured in October 1999 in "Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences", and conducted by a team of researchers from the University of Iceland, Reykjavik. Based on this study, the authors suggested a topical gel be developed having capric acid and lauric acid as active ingredients to be used for preventing sexually transmitted diseases such as herpes virus, HIV, gonorrhea and Chlamydia. . .

If you do not want to wait 10 years for a topical gel to be developed, suggest you avoid Astroglide and purchase liquid coconut oil to use as your lube at Walmart. Unless you prefer to run the risk of herpes, HIV and other STDs. If you use coconut oil, avoid latex condoms and purchase non-latex, such as SKYN brand. Previous postings on this topic on this site.

I bring Astroglide, which is carried in both Target and Walmart. In those stores it costs around $5 for the small 2.5 oz bottle or around $8 for the big bottle (twice as large). It is water-based, so it cleans up easy. I bring extra bottles to Tijuana because a few of my regulars ask to keep the bottles.

Walmart sells a generic version for less, but it is not as good.

The desk clerk upstairs in Hotel Coahuila (above Adelitas) is the only place in LZ I know of that sells Astroglide, but he charges $10 for the small bottle.

I agree that Astroglide is great stuff, but I've had problems with the bottles leaking while I carry them in my picked. This has happened with more than 1 bottle.

To me, KY Liquid is almost identical and I've never had a bottle leak in my pocket.

Per a previous discussion on the forum, a scientific review of commercial sex lubes and coconut oil was done. Due to the chemicals used in commercial sex lubes, the infection rate of STDs was much higher since commercial lubes increased the skin porosity. Coconut oil, on the hand, reduced STD infection rates by a factor of approximately 10 times since it destroys the outer layer of germs and viruses. The downside of coconut oil is that you cannot use latex condoms but must buy non-latex, such as SKYN brand. Liquid coconut oil is available in Walmart in a large bottle for around $6.

You can also try Maxifort. Start with 50 MG. Sometimes they'll give you a better deal on the 100 MG though. I just cut them in half.

I never need sidenafil, but I like taking it when I'm walking through HK and the girls I sit a buy drinks for, will grab my rock hard jimmy and rub and tug for a bit.

I usually stop at Piri Pharmacy and get a 5 pack of Figral for $3.25. This is for 100 MG, but I usually take half of a pill and that works all night. The pharmacy is right across the wax museum. Ask for Julian, he runs s the place.

At age 61 Figral helps a lot. At Piri, in January, I think I paid 112 pesos for 10 of the 100 MG pills.

To BoogieDabs: The three major erectile dysfunction drugs are Viagra, Cialis & Levitra. Figral is generic Viagra, & also called Sildenafil, which is the active ingredient.

You can confirm this by looking at their boxes or websites, but I think Viagra lasts up to six hours, while Cialis & Levitra (in 20 MG top doses) last close to a day.

For me, Viagra worked the best and Cialis the worst, but it's different for different people. I agree with the suggestion that you might start with a dose of Viagra / Figral that is much smaller than its 100 MG top dose.

2. What kind of lube do you guy's use? The one from the front counter or a bottle from a corner store?

Looks like I have my first trip to Tijuana planned, I'm super excited. End of July, staying 3 nights at Cascadas. Mon, Tues, Weds.

Big thanks to all of you who post reviews and your experience, I feel I have learned a lot reading the past reports and I can't wait to use some of the advice I've read here. I'll definitely be grabbing a VIP pass, check out the girls at CC, Adelitas, Chavelas, Tropical and try for $60 there, $80 or below in HK. Grab some corner tacos, get a few SG during the day, really just have a fun time. My Spanish is not that great, but I feel that knowing some is better than nothing so we'll see what happens. I do have a couple questions that I haven't come across in the threads though.

1. What's it like taking sidenafil / Cialis / fisal (I've never needed to take them but if they're cheap and if I can't get little' Jimmy up I'm not against trying them.

2. What kind of lube do you guy's use? The one from the front counter or a bottle from a corner store?

3. Do they ID people in bars?

It's not an exact science and your experience may vary. I'd recommend starting with a smaller dose and seeing what it's like. The biggest problem is a possible difficulty in cumming. You may be rock hard but can't get off -- nice if you are with a girlfriend and want to rock her world, but you don't want to be pounding away when time runs out and still no pop. On the other hand, if you are a bit quick on the draw, they can help you delay cumming. If you've never needed them and don't have any problems, you may want to hold off. Towards the end of your stay after fucking 3+ times per day for a few days you may need the help.

2. What kind of lube do you guy's use? The one from the front counter or a bottle from a corner store?

I bring my own lube from home. Just ordinary water-based lube from CVS. Silicone-based lube is slipperier and doesn't dry out, but it is harder to clean up and I'm not running marathon fucking sessions so the water-based lube is fine.

3. Do they ID people in bars?

I've never been IDed but I'm 50 so it's not an issue for me. I can't imagine them being very strict, as the drinking age is 18. Unless you look really young I don't think it would be an issue.

1. Wouldn't know, never tried.

2. Front desk.

3. No, but my buddy got ID'ed once cause he looks pretty young.
