[QUOTE=Billpsu]Will be going to A/C in a few weeks. Does anyone have the name/location of a good doctor/clinic shuold I come down with any STD.
Always good to have that info ahead of time.
Thanks.[/QUOTE]
There are some advertised on the web. Google knows.
Failing that just ask at a reputable hotel.
Failing that you could ask the girl who gave it to you...
Where are all the AC ex-pats with their sage advice?

I heard Palawan and around the swamps but not AC. Does one buy the medicine there and take it every day? No doubt, the HMOs and company disablilty claims back home would probably have fine print disqualifying people that pick up a tropical disease while on vacation. I havent heard of cases of it other than the wwii miseries from our poor souls in the Jap camps. What's the scoop.
Dengue is getting to be prevalent in some areas, especially in Cebu. Malaria can also be a problem in some areas. I strongly recommend that you sleep in an aircon hotel that is (mostly) airtight so you can avoid mosquitoes. That should be enough. I have been in the Phils for two years and I have not heard of a foreigner getting malaria or getting dengue, but it does happen.
If you do sleep somewhere that is ‘open air’ you are taking real chances and you really should definitely sleep under a mosquito net. IMHO, if you need a mosquito net, then you should not be there in the first place.
Also, two more things to consider about preventative malarial drugs;
1) My understanding is that most of the anti-malarial drugs are only maybe 50% effective at best, and,
2) Some people have very bad reactions to anti-malarial drugs. My ex-fiance’ and I took anti-malarial drugs before a trip to Africa and the anti malarial drugs made her quite sick.
Another good choice for STD treatment is P.I.H., also known as Good Shepherd Hospital, a 70p trike ride from fields. Go to the emergency room entrance. They are discreet, quick, and effective. My last dose cost me 1600p including the antibiotics.
[QUOTE=Suckcess]Punters;
Here are some pics of AC’s best short time girl, Joanne, but she goes by “Jo Jo.”
Jo Jo used to work as a dancer at Champagne and she still gets her hygiene card through Champagne. Jo Jo’s friends at Champagne nicknamed her ‘Superstar’ because she would do 3-5 short times every day.
These days Jo Jo works as a freelancer. She can be found hanging out at Kokomo’s most afternoons. Most evenings she has a long time barfine with an English guy named James. You are likely to see them at Doll House, Atlantis, Blue Nile, or Pasha. Jo Jo still does lots of short times and she is excellent service, but she is prone to drama. Still, one of the very best performers in the Phils ![/QUOTE]I ran into jojo over christmas vacation. I had barfined her a few years ago. She was complaining that her stalker ex boyfriend by the name of kevin was following her and her current boyfriend around. He was giving out CDs with her pictures on it and crap like that.
She hasnt been working, freelancer or otherwise, for quite some time. She just finished school and is currently doing her OJT.
Sounds like you should change your name to obsessed instead of suckcess. She broke up with you dude. Get over it. Move on. Lots of other girls here.

[QUOTE=GoodEnough]First, there's no drug that 100% effective against malaria.[/QUOTE]

Some people claim chlorine dioxide is effective against malaria
Even in Palawan or the bundok. Please post links to articles about malaria in PI to back up this claim (of which I am very suspect). I certainly would not give it any thought at all for visitors to Manila and Angeles only.
Indonesia is a whole different story but I have never taken malarial prophylaxis for anywhere in the PI. The prophy has serious side effects and is not 100% effective as GE notes. GE we are glad you survived your two bouts which I trust was not the falciparum (AKA Cerebral) strain.
Dengue is much more common and is mainly found in urban areas, but the consequences are much less severe. PI visitors should worry more about traffic accidents and secondhand smoke exposure than malaria.

Slim[/QUOTE]
Yes slim it is used for sinusitis, acne rosacea and many other infections.
Antibitotic prescribing is complex & potentially dangerous.
Please guys, get medical advice.
Dont play around with antibiotics like candy.

Oh man, if this is true then I truly feel pity for this dude. In this country there is an endless supply of sweet young women who will be delighted to rock your world. As foreigners we are in pussy paradise. No matter how great a girl is there are dozens nay hundreds more lining up to take her place.
For god's sakes suckcess, wake up man!

[QUOTE=Bubbagoes100]Well yes, AC is a shithole, but the Philipinas are generally more sensual, and more fun than the Thai girls. I have lived in Thailand for about 4 years, and make frequent trips to the Philippines.
In fact I'm planning on one soon, but what ever happened to the barfine situation in AC?
The last that I read the bars were asking the customer to buy the same amount in Lady drinks, is that still in effect? or did they return to the standard barfine after replacing the police chief?[/QUOTE]I agree with you 100% Bubba. IMHO! I have been to the Philippines 3 times in the last three years. The last time I lived there for 6 months and I have been to Thailand twice in the same frame. I just returned from 25 days in LOS. The Philippines, without a doubt, is the best place to go to have a great time and to enjoy true GFE.
First, the Philippines is cheaper to live and party. Even with the Peso dropping, it is stronger then the Baht.
Second, while I was in Thailand, I never had to dodge more lady boys in my life. Every girl I was with, I had to ensure that she was born a lady. Of the ladies I met, 1 in 3 was lady boys. I always say that I only want to meet lady boys and then the truth comes out.
Lastly, I had some great sex in Thailand, but the ability to communicate with the girls seemed to me to be more of a burden. In the Philippines, they speak enough English for me to be able to enjoy my time with them.
As I stated in the beginning, this is IMHO. Both places have a lot to offer, but if I am going to spend my money on a good time, I will always choose the Philippines over Thailand.

You will have no problem in AC. Some bars have the ladies' drinks scheme where you buy9/10 ladies' drinks and other bars you pay the mamasan p1, 350. You go there and suss out what is going on, test the waters and see how the land lies. If you read all the negative comments by some board members then you would stay at home and chase those fat white whales/small white jumbos.
Some board members have their own agendas and will say AC has no redeeming features and AC is a shit hole. I respect their right to express their opinions as this is an open board but you don't have to agree/believe them. If you can let me know where you go with a pretty 20 year old girl, spend the night with her and be treated as a boy friend for less than $50 and in many cases have a reasonable conversation well I'm all ears. Try doing that in your own country and you are in for a rude awakening, it will cost you at least $500.
The concept of the AC Board is the mutual exchange of information where members can benefit from each other's experience and have an enjoyable time in AC. To those AC knockers. Well for every one of you there would be several hundred who like and enjoy what AC has to offer. LIVE AND LET LIVE.

Like I said, in the urbanised areas no need, but out in the province whole different ball game.

Thank you for the pricise STD info. Hope I don't need it.
Lastly, about a day after my last trip I came home (USA) and a day later came down with a raging headache, very high fever, chills. After tests, the doctor said he knew for sure it was not malaria. My guess was dengue fever. Believe me you would not want a dose, it was unlike anything I ever had. For someone who hates doctors, I actually begged mine to see me asap.

Hi all,
i was reading the last weeks in this forum and signed in now to say hello. Want to thank you for all the informations. In two weeks i will start my cherry trip to AC. I will stay in Pacific Breeze. If someone of you guys is in AC, too, we could have a drink together. Hope i can share some pics later.
Regards,
Sammson
Billpsu, this is the AC thread. Are you telling us you acquired Dengue Fever on Fields ave???? I know there's a lot of sucking going on in that area, but it usually wasn't mosquitos.
Please provide other details, so that we can make informed decisions.
Thanks,
