[QUOTE=River]Do you know have good is a condom in preventing STD/AIDs when used properly? Almost 100% ?[/QUOTE]I am not a doctor, but, when used properly I think nearly all condoms are safe. But this is hardly a question to ask in a porn forum (unless you're ready to get a non reliable answer).
If you really want to know more about STD's or protection, there are plenty of Furums that cover that, and some have Real doctors ;)
Good luck
Sure, condoms are safe.. but how many times have you had them break, or slip off?? I've had more than 5-10 breakages over the years, and only recently while being humped by a quite dirty bar-rat, the rubber slipped off.. so it's a bit of luck as well.
Play safe, but know that nothing is 100% safe.

Drinking green tea could help in the fight against HIV, research suggests.
Scientists found a component called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) prevents HIV from binding to immune system cells by getting there first.
Once EGCG has bound to immune system cells there is no room for HIV to take hold in its usual fashion.
However, experts said the joint UK and US work, which appears in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, was at a very preliminary stage.
We suggest that it should be used in combination with conventional medicines to improve quality of life for those infected
Professor Mike Williamson
University of Sheffield
Researcher Professor Mike Williamson, of the University of Sheffield, said: "Our research shows that drinking green tea could reduce the risk of becoming infected by HIV, and could also slow down the spread of HIV.
"It is not a cure, and nor is it a safe way to avoid infection, however, we suggest that it should be used in combination with conventional medicines to improve quality of life for those infected.
"Future research is also currently under way in order to determine how much effect can be expected from different amounts of tea."
More work needed
Keith Alcorn, senior editor of the Aidsmap web service, said tests on animals would be needed before any conclusions could be safely drawn on the potential protective effect of drinking green tea.
"This study only looks at the ability of a chemical in green tea to block HIV binding to human CD4 immune cells in the test tube.
"Many substances shown to prevent HIV infection in the test tube turn out to have little or no effect in real life, so I think there's a long way to go before anyone should rely on green tea to protect against HIV infection."
Lisa Power, head of policy at the HIV charity, Terrence Higgins Trust said: "Condoms keep HIV at bay. Anything that boosts your immune system is beneficial for people with HIV, but green tea can't be a substitute for proper medication and prevention techniques."
Green tea has been linked to a positive effect on a wide range of conditions, including heart disease, cancer and Alzheimer's.

I have a safe sex related question which involves the use of Thai language:
I have a regular down at the upcountry brothel I see maybe once a week, who alas now has the clap (either gonorrhea or clamydia or both), I believe due to previous visits I made to her just after returning from Pattaya, land of clap. Now I have cured myself of those ailments, but have found that I have been reinfected by this woman on subequent visits. She is of course like most women apparently asymptomatic.
Therefore, I need to approach her with a nice new unopened box of Zithromax, and persuade her to take it, but alas she speaks not a word of English. Can someone relate in simple Thai this basic story:
"Last time I saw you I got a little drip, and went to the doctor. He gave me this (Zithromax), and when I took it I was all better. So, can you please take this {pointing to Zithromax} so we can keep seeing each other?"
I realize the best method of persuasion is a nice tip, but I want to be able to communicate to assuage any fears she may have that I'm a mad poisoner - we farangs are known for being psychos.

If you care about this girl, Opebo, just take her to a Dr. and let him explain the situation to her in Thai. If the Dr. prescribes Zithromax, you'll already have it to give to her.
Good luck,
Daddy

Thank you, Father, for your kind advice, but unfortunately in Thailand being seen about during the day with a prostitute is a faux pas, particularly for any purpose other than the obvious one.
Have to agree with Daddy's advice on this one.. unless you're an MD or GP, why even bother trying to guess what she has (since you admitted she probably has multiple infections) and then try to get her to take meds? Also the responsibility you're taking on.. You have 3 options: 1) Take her to a doctor personally, 2) Ensure she goes herself to the Dr. 3) Dump her and say bye.
I'm not a dentist, so I dont try fixing people's teeth myself..

1 g Zithromax is one of the top one or two recommended treatments, Freeman, for both clamydia and gonhorrea. There is absolutely no point going to a doctor, and since that errand is impossible anyway, I would ask that you confine yourself to the question I asked - how to communicate with her.
Please, people, your obsession with the medical profession is not helpful. True, in lands where they, through political influence, have gained a monopoly on the dispensing of simple drugs - such as Zithromax - we have no choice but to pay them their tithe. But happily such is not the case in Thailand.
So I reiterate, how may I say, roughly, in simple Thai:
"Last time I saw you I got a little drip, and went to the doctor. He gave me this {holding up nice unopened box of Zithromax}, and when I took it I was all better. So, can you please take this {pointing to Zithromax} so we can keep seeing each other?"

Opebo
I try very hard not to get wound up by your posts, but for the record you are a stupid ****. There's fuck all point explaining any aspect of science to you because you'll just come back with some stupid shite based upon anecdotes. My only worry is that other people may take what you say as being partly correct, and I address this reply mostly to them.
Look at the history of antibiotics since the late 40s, look at MRSA, do some reasearch and then be as blazee as Opebo, the man who knows everything about sexually transmitted diseases and their treatments.
[QUOTE=Opebo]1 g Zithromax is one of the top one or two recommended treatments, for both clamydia and gonhorrea. [/QUOTE]You may also have syphilis - you're increasingly displaying what may be one of the tertiary symptoms. And let's face it, you're a prime candidate.
If you have syphilis (and it's not advanced) you would need at least a 2g single dose of Zithromax, not 1g. Maybe it's time for a blood test - it's the only way to rule out syphilis (and a few other STDs) conclusively.

...because he got them all :(
Zithromax is a very powerful antibiotic and is one that is recommended and prescribed by Doctors for the clap. However, it does not come cheaply. An equally efficient alternative is NORFLOXACIN 400mg (1 tablet about 4bt), which does the job just as well, and is also prescribed by Doctors. The dose is 2 x 400mg tablets, 1 time, before food, washed down with a glass of water.
Knowing that one has the clap, and also knowing that a doctor in Thailand (especially in Pattaya or Bangkok) will likely charge a minimum of 800bt for providing 2 Norfloxacin tablets, is it not infinitely more sensible to pop down to the pharmacy and make your own purchase?
So far as wanting the local brothel **** to take tablets to cure the disease Opebo believes she has, I would not do this. It's Ok to diagnose ones own diseases, but not Ok to diagnose and treat anyone elses!
Firstly, if you put it in use a condom! There are also someting called a finger cot which is like a finger rubber if you are goin to digitize any part of their body. After messing with a BG wash your hands and what ever came in contact condom or no condom. The bloke with Gono/Pink Eye got a bad thingo. It is as bad in the eye as on the wand!
As to the gent who goes to Up county lady houses. Dude, you are just plain nuts. I would guess that alot of shite we are exposed to come from the boyfriend of the girl we are with and he got it from a 200 Baht thai hooker!
I'm careful, never put my mouth south of the boarders and always use a condom. I she wants a lgood butt fingering. Put on condom over you fingers for that one also. I've done more that 100 girls and probaly gone a well over 400 times and have nothing. Never, not even a case of crabs. Careful I am.
And, I'm not sure was up with some of this talk about cures. If I had someting I would change Doc's untill I got a nice big shot in the butt! Massive amount of drugs in the butt muscle and off I go. I've know so many guys that have gotton a dirty jump and they always get the big shot in the rear and can go back into action in 2 or 3 days. Shite, there is a MD from L. A. Who is a big time punter that carries a points and a bottle of pennicillen (sp) and has shot himself.

I'm not sure that expense is a big issue when it comes to important issues like the clap but there are cheaper brands of Azithromycin as well, e.g Binozyt. Price is very low in comparison to mongering cost.
But I can't comment on best treatments as am not a doctor.
