[QUOTE=Jimbo785;2341594]I tested 7 years ago, I was negative. I think I got it in the hospital. Are you doctor? I will start the treatment but I will see another doctor first.[/QUOTE]I'm not. But she was not comfortable with self-injection so the doctor showed us how it was done. The main thing is to go ahead with the treatment long enough for the virus to vanish for good. The treatment had astonishingly few side-effects. This was 15 years ago. The treatment must have improved since then.
[QUOTE=MongerForSex;2341781]I am dermatovenereologist in Brazil. I also studied infectology. Having a second opinion is a good idea. Get tested again for confirmation. If the second doctor has the same opinion, take the treatment, hepatitis is curable. Unfortunately, you were unlucky if you contracted hepatitis in a hospital because blood is screened in the hospitals but sometimes people get infected but it's very rare. Most countries outside Africa, they screen blood many times before giving to a patient, they change needles all the time. If you are not vaccinated, get vaccinated for HepA and HepB. Ask your doctor if it's a good idea to get vaccinated for HepA and HepB.[/QUOTE]I got screened for hepatitis C again for confirmation, it came back negative. I visited another doctor. I was already vaccinated for hepatitis be, he vaccinated me for hepatitis a.
Thank you Mongerforsex and XXL.
Could someone please advise of reliable BKK clinics for getting a full test, their turnaround time, and approx cost?
Thanks in advance.
(Have searched with terms and threw up other details.).
[QUOTE=RoamingRob1;2339785]From the test results that I could access online this is what it said:
T pallidum Ab Ser Ql IF. Reactive (Initial Results).
VDRL CSF Ql. Reactive 1:2 (Initial Results).
Reagin Ab NON-REACTIVE (After treatment).
I am not sure what is considered a Treponemal test. I provided you everything that I could access online from Dr visits. Some test done at Hospital are not posted for me to be able to see.
I might monger from time to time. But I have to admit it is not something high on my list to do after this past experience.[/QUOTE]Did you use illicit drug? Are you heavy drinker? Neurosyphilis also happens in straight people using illicit drug, truvada and poppers. Did you use steroid in the past? Drug and alcohol fuck up immune system. I fucked many girls without condom and never got tested for STDs. I like getting sucked without condom. Check out your history. We are always exposed to bacterial. I have MS but I don't want to follow stupid doctors. I have been living with MS for over 10 years without medication, I feel healthy. Doctors are the biggest idiots that don't know what they are talking about.

Nope never used Truvada or whatever a popper is. Never been in the gym a day in my life so nope never used Steroids. Always used condom for intercourse but went bareback for BJ. All I can tell you is I had a bunch of symptoms that I dismissed and was tested for many things. MS, Stroke, Tick Disease, Bartonella, Lupus and the only thing I came back positive on was Syphilis. You are entitled to your opinion and maybe you are living with MS with no issues. But I went almost completely blind in one eye and the only test that came back positive was Syphilis. I have given my history on here a few times already as rebuttal that you could not catch Syphilis from Oral Sex when I did.

Did you also test for Lyme Disease? I had uveitis in my two eyes caused by late stage Lyme disease 12 years ago. I also got penicillin. The only good thing the doctor did to me.

[QUOTE=MongerForSex;2341568]You should get treated for HepC, untreated Hepatitis is more dangerous and serious than other STDs (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis and trichomoniasis). HIV and hepatitis are the stds that kill the most people every year unlike other bacterial and viral stds that rarely cause trouble when left untreated.
Alcohol doesn't cause HepC but weakens your immune system that make a easy way for the virus. You may have contracted it from contaminated blood in a hospistal, Did you recently recieve blood? Now you have chronic hepC, but before having chronic hepc, you had acute hepc, most healthy people clear the virus when it's acute without treatment.
Avoid alcohol and follow your doctor, take the treatment.
You will still have antibodies to HepC in your body even after treatment.[/QUOTE]Bro,
Do these STDs you mentioned and other types does they have any symptoms, how much time it takes to show the symptoms in the body once infected?. Or it will stay hidden inside the body, and getting transmitted to others with whom we have unprotected sex.

Chlamydia (2 - 14 days) no symptom, no need to get tested.
Trichomoniasis (not a big concern for men).
Syphilis (2 - 7 days it will start with a single painless papule that will become a painless ulcer at the second or third week after exposure. The ulcer is present at the 21st day after exposure maximum. No more than 21 days after exposure ). It's spread mainly in MSM and straight people using illicit drug. Mainly unprotected vaginal and anal sex . Most people with untreated syphilis won't have tertiary syphilis. Many people become negative in RPR VDRL and EIA igm even without treatment. FTA.ABS may become negative several years later. TPHA stays positive for several years. Syphilis is only transmitted when sores are present.
HIV: not a big concern for you. There are no std testing recommendations for straight men in CDC websites. In any std website, you only see gay flags.
Hepatitis is mainly spread from contaminated blood (shared needle and blood transfusion). It may also be spread from anal sex. But more common in gay sex. You start having symptoms like fever, loss of appetite, diarrhea, jaundice of the skin and dark urines (one -3 months after exposure) . Most people will clear acute hepatitis without medication before it becomes chronic.
HSV-2 (2 - 4 days after exposure) . Symptoms: Itching and tingling on your genitals, small blisters that break and cause painful ulcers. Most people don't have symptoms, outbreak often happens in people that have a problem with their immune system. Reccurrent outbreaks are less severe. When sores are present , It's easily transmitted but may also be transmitted without symptoms. The second most common STD
HPV is often asymptomatic, warts happen when you have a problem with your immune system, not all hpv virus cause warts. Warts usually happen 1 - 3 months after exposure. Your body will be able to clear the virus. Within 2 years maximum. Even without symptoms, hpv is easily transmitted. It's the most common std.

As a straight man having sex, you are still at risk of contracting common STDs (HSV, HPV, chlamydia and gonorrhea. You are less likely to catch syphilis than men who have sex with other men. I have never seen straight men contracting hiv from women. I live in Brazil and HIV is very prevalent in men who have sex with men.

I can't get a test that gives a sure answer if I ever had it, nor if I ever had HSV1.
HPV of some type was had by 75% of people.
However despite how common these are (partly due to being untreatable) it is another thing altogether, about how easy it is to catch it.
If these diseases were extremely easy to catch, then we would all have them. I think it is person dependent.
I have had a foot papilloma and a wart on leg or arm, although not for over 20 years, but not sure if those HPV strains are relevant to STDs or not.
I think Chlamydia and Gonorrhea are vastly more easy to catch, like you fuck some girl bareback with that and you will get it for sure (almost), and probably Trichomoniasis, although I don't know much about that one.
For some reason the different diseases have different sigma levels. Even if HPV is the most common, there is little stigma to it, where herpes is "such a big deal". Given Chlamydia and Gonorrhea are curable easily, should not be much stigma, other than you obviously fucked a girl BB.
One of my regular girls has decided to stop giving me BBFS after a friend of hers caught some STD. Not sure why that is relevant. We don't know what her friend has been up to. Maybe I won't give this girl any priority in the future, since the sex will be declining in enjoyment.
I can't really do a good marathon sex with a condom any more. My dick has declined in sensitivity. Ha ha.
It will probably make me find other slightly less careful girls who will still give me a BBFS, and a nice long fuck.
I know a young girl (early 20's) supposed to have cervical cancer now, but no clue if was related to HPV or other STDs. Quite possible. She hasn't got the money for an operation (yet), but will have to do a lot of fucking to be able to afford the operation.

Many women get vaccinated for HPV but still get cervical cancer. STDs are too overestimated. HSV is a joke. You may have HSV without knowing you have it. You don't need to get tested for it if you have no symptom. I don't really trust HSV and syphilis test, they are not accurate. That's why they are often overlooked when diagnosing a pathology.
Keep enjoying and fuck as you like, you will die one day, no time to be scared about STDs. Influenza, spahylococcus, pneumococcal and Tuberculosis are among the biggest infectious killers. People are not scared of STDs but they are scared of stigma.
If people want to get tested for STD, they should also get tested for other worse diseases. Why get tested if there is no symptom. It's just a waste of time and money.
Penile cancer is said it's caused by HPV but bad hygiene is the main reason, especially uncircumcised men that can't keep their genitals clean. I have never seen circumcised men with penile cancer (squamous cell carcinoma). The only penile cancer I saw in circumcised men was melanoma in situ on the shaft and stage 3 melanoma on the glans on his shaft. Brazil is one of the countries with the most cases of penile cancer. Most of them are caused by bad hygiene. People living in poor rural areas are the most affected. That's why it's important to keep our genital clean.
Some stupid studies say, washing your genitals increase the risk of bacterial STD, but to me it's bullshit. But hsv and hpv, washing or not, you can get them, you just have to trust your immune system for those two viral diseases. HPV and HSV are not reportable STDs.
Maybe it was not a std. Non-stds HPV causing warts are common in children but may also happen in adults. HPV is not treatable but your body can clear it. You can live with HSV all your life without having symptoms.
Conclusion: We will all die someday but we don't know how.

[/QUOTE]Absolutely right there. I do not worry if I should ever catch another STD or not. Only that I would like to know about it in time to not pass it on, due to the stigma.
One girl stopped giving me BBFS years ago because I got some dick discharge, and I stupidly told her, in case she had transmitted it to me and maybe she caught it from her official BF. Yet she was the only girl I was fucking at the time (not in Thailand), and turned out she was negative (according to her).
Doctor said my dick thing was not an STD, I wouldn't know and cured quickly enough. No idea what it was now. So was a big mistake to say anything to her at all. Full disclosure is not the best policy. Better I got fully assessed and results first. Then I could decide to say nothing, was better.
She told me she had a herpes lesion not exactly on her pussy but close to it on occasions. I had no clue if was really herpes HSV2 or not. Did not look very serious. I thought maybe not and did not give a shit really. Did not scare me in the slightest for having sex.
So yeh, STDs no big deal really unless you happen to give it to your wife. Then there is psychological damage.
