Still looking for a pharmacy that sells PrEP in Pattaya without a prescription. Hell, I'll even buy in Bangkok at this point.

I be landing in BKK in 6 days, so I only have this from online research. I think Pulse Clinic in Pattaya will provide PrEP. Pulse Clinic https://www.pulse-clinic.com/prep-in-pattaya.

Notes on the webpage say if you do not have a prescription, you can get tests there and get a supply.

Re, the first part. That's not really true. You could get herpes from your first ever blowjob, or chlamydia or anything else really.

Exactly right. Lots of people don't get this. Especially working girl mongers and gamblers. They either don't believe or don't want to believe.

A 1 in 10,000 chance of winning doesn't mean you'll win if you play the game 10,000 times. You could play 50,000 times and never win. Or you could win on the first play.

Getting heads on a coin flip has 1 in 2 odds, but you can flip a coin 10 times in a row and get tails every time.

statistically, to get an std, you'd have to had banged hundreds of babes.

.. and that would mean I finally made it back to Thailand, and at this moment in time, I'd give anything to go back to Thailand.

My luck held out for a long time because I was banging really sketchy, dirty street girls for years.

But then I started racking up the stds.

Most of them can be fixed with a few pills but catching herpes really messed me up.

I've had it for ten years now and I'm living in Bangkok but I'm not banging beautiful girls every day.

Because most of the time I don't feel like it. Herpes affected me in lots of ways.

Re, the second part, I hear that. It sucks to be somewhere when you know you'd be so much happier somewhere else.

Diet is a big one. Food sign arginine can triggering outbreak in foods high in lysine can help prevent them. Nuts are very high in arginine it should be avoided especially for a few years after one's initial outbreak when the body is still trying to learn how to control the virus. Sunburn is another trigger as is any type of abrasion or skin irritation near the inoculation point. So when you are engaged in action it is preferable to use a lot of lubricant, and if one uses a condom be sure to lube one's unit before putting on the condom. Stress and exhaustion can also be triggers so when on a trip minimizing alcohol use in getting enough sleep is essential. Most of the people I know who have had HSV for years had very few outbreaks as they have learned what their triggers are and also tend to recognize prodrome symptoms such as an ache in the garage, a bit of sensitivity, etc. And yes some people I know are taking acyc regularly and the good news is there are generics available in Thailand they're quite inexpensive. However if one pays attention to triggers and perhaps a supplements daily with lysine, I'm not sure constant medication is needed.

Yeah I know all that stuff. I was using Lysine for a while. It didn't seem to make any difference. And I adjusted my diet too. And I quit drinking 6 years ago. But I was still getting bad outbreaks. So I just settled in to a few years of taking acyclivor. But I've just learned about ginger being effective against the herp so I'm going to boost my use of that and try and cut the pills down a bit.

Yeah I agree with the first part, even though it's somewhat morally wrong. I described my herpes earlier. It's rough. Wouldn't wish it on anyone.

The only way I can live with it is to take aciclovir twice a day. In Thailand that gets (relatively) expensive.

Not to all your big rollers obviously but a few dollars a week adds up over the year.

It's weird, I find myself not too concerned about std's anymore because of my old age, but also because I can't seem to be able to get myself back Thailand to even partake in any risky behavior. Life is fucked up man. Either I got all the time in the world, but no cash. And when I have a little spare cash, I ain't got the time to fly. FML. I know it sucks for you guys out there that have the herps, but at least you got it from a worthwhile activity. It's like that quote from the movie 'Auto Focus' : "A day without sex is a day wasted".

If you're going to get the herps, at least get it from a ho. Imagine if you got it from your wife or girlfriend, because she cheated on you. That would be so much worse. And statistically, to get an std, you'd have to had banged hundreds of babes. Hundreds. Love is a battlefield, and sex is kinda too. Soldiers occasionally get shot. If we want to be the sexual heroes to other would be hobbyists, some of us have to take the hits man. I don't have the herps yet, but if I did get it, it would mean that I got it in Bangkok, and that would mean I finally made it back to Thailand, and at this moment in time, I'd give anything to go back to Thailand. I'd sell my soul if there were any takers.

Keeping HSV at bay it's different for every person. There are certain triggers that one should pay attention to. Diet is a big one. Food sign arginine can triggering outbreak in foods high in lysine can help prevent them. Nuts are very high in arginine it should be avoided especially for a few years after one's initial outbreak when the body is still trying to learn how to control the virus.

Say it ain't so, cause it's the only recourse I have for boner pills when I'm there. I can't imagine they'd change the rules so drastically in just 2 years. This is South East Asia we're talking about. There's just certain things that are done in certain ways and it never changes. Without boner pills, and now my shitty job being even shittier, I really should just kill myself. Just wish I had the guts.

Boner pills are easy to buy at pharmacies in Pattaya. I just bought a box of 50 Kamagra for 1000 baht at a pharmacy.

Thanks for the reply. I guess it will be a good idea for me to add tablets against hsv-2 to my mongering diet too then, even though it only reduces the risk by half or a bit more, like for the most other stds. Except for hiv, which fortunately now has prophylaxis that's close to 100% effective.

Its almost upsetting that HIV is even still a concern with things like PReP. Its effectiveness is in the same ballpark as condoms and nearest I can tell side effects are so rare and mild I've seen more warnings on asprin. If we got this stuff used by most people AIDs would be wiped out in a few decades.

Boner pills are easy to find in Thailand.

[Newton York]

I went to so many small pharmacies recently looking for various drugs, including valium.

It's not like the old days when you could just walk in with a shopping list.

They must have tightened up the rules because the pharmacists were all very strict.

The doctor who told me I had herpes said it had grown a lot stronger in Angeles because of all the fucking.

Makes sense really. It's hot and sweaty, everyone's dirty and banging everyone else 24/7.

Including men from every nation and all the local gangsters and pimps.

Same kind of scene in Pattaya. I picked up a weird disease these last year and the doctors don't even know what it is yet.

Going to get it checked out in England in a few weeks.

Apparently shaving your pubes increases your chance of contracting an STD by up to 75%. That's because shaving causes lots of tiny cuts that infections can get into. Of course, not shaving increases your chance of getting crabs, but that's a minor inconvenience and easily cured. So guys, if you want to lessen your chances of taking home an unwanted souvenir, keep that 70's Bush!

I take it there are some less common strains that are a bigger problem then.

if it's a small mom and pop pharmacy by the side of the road, not like the brand name ones in malls, you should be able to get whatever you want without any prescription at all.
