What you should do, for your protection, is get tested, after, and again, 6 months later.

Posts: 164Std testing
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.

Posts: 657Astroglide Alternative. . . Avoid Secondary Herpes Infections with Coconut Oil.
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.

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

Posts: 657Astroglide and KY risks.
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.

Posts: 590You 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.

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.

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 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.
