[QUOTE=VickyCooper;2839632]So I recently underwent an endoscopy after months of constant burping & indigestion, burning in the upper abdomen. Turns out I am infected with H. Pylori and have been prescribed a proton pump inhibitor (Pantoprazol 40 MG twice a day) and antibiotics (Amoxcillan 1000 MG twice a day + Clarithromycin 500 MG twice a day) for 2 weeks. Two days into the course of medications & already feeling better.

Just wanted to know if DATY and kissing can cause H. Pylori infection. Never had stomach problems prior to my mongering days.[/QUOTE]I don't know if DATY and kising can cause H. Pylori infection. When I got it I was not doing either of those things. I cured it myself. I purchased some food grade Diatomaceous Earth and took a spoon full in a glass of water at least once per day for 6 weeks. I travel a lot and was afraid TSA would stop me for the white powder but I labeled it and never had an issue.

I hope the antibiotics work well for you.

[QUOTE=GenevaGuy;2839749]No it cannot. Pussy doesn't have H pylorii nor does the mouth.[/QUOTE]Don't know about pussy, but H pylori can be passed on through direct contact with saliva. For example:

Causes: H. Pylori infection occurs when H. Pylori bacteria infect your stomach. H. pylori bacteria are usually passed from person to person through direct contact with saliva, vomit or stool. H. pylori may also be spread through contaminated food or water. The exact way H. Pylori bacteria causes gastritis or a peptic ulcer in some people is still unknown.

[QUOTE=MySecretLife;2310817]Please correct me if I'm wrong, HSV PCR test is more definitive and conclusive test than IgG & IgM methods, Isn't it?

Why don't you just keep it for yourself and bang some chicks that tested positive for HIV or Gonnorhea but just aren't ill from it yet.

That's why the vast majority of people who died of Covid had a positive Covid test before they died.

I made the classic mistake the other day, a lady banged me twice with a condom. The third time, she got lazy and didn't use a condom. By then, my dick was numb, and I didn't realize until after I shot inside her.

I wonder that, as I am not a BBCIP guy, I always use protection, but I know a lot of guys don't, so I'm curious if they just assume the sex working ladies use birth control.

As far as STIs, you're gambling I guess.

I had a vasectomy years ago, so I never worry about knocking up the woman I'm with. Getting an STD by going bb is a different story. I wonder what percent of girls want a condom for pregnancy protection, STD protection, or both? I admit to going bbfscip a few times with girls that seemed healthy, and then wondering if I'd made a big mistake afterwards. I've drawn blanks in the Russian Roulette gun so far!

What the ladies generally say about birth control is: If they have a live in boyfriend, they take the pill because he won't use a condom.

If I went in for testing tomorrow and was tested for HIV, SARS-CoV-2, Hep b, etc. , they would all be negative. You cannot find almost anything in anybody.

If your blood is positive for HIV, believe me, you have HIV! Sometimes, the test is equivocal (rather than binary), but its positive predictive value is VERY high. There are excellent antibody tests as well, but these require that you have had the virus for a longer period of time, generally 2 weeks and rarely a few months.

Mullis, by the way, was a little bit nuts. He believed in UFOs and alien abductions. And, he famously said that HIV did not cause AIDS, despite abundant data, including PCR data. That all AIDS patients (100%)have evidence of the HIV genome in their blood, as detected by PCR, is unequivocally true. The use of PCR to detect AIDS can sometimes give complicated results, but there is zero doubt that when done and interpreted by experienced individuals, the data is very reliable.

Param: if you really believe in what you said, I think that if you ever get AIDS, you should not take anti-retrovirals, as these drugs are all designed to inhibit viral replication and doctors use PCR to monitor treatment efficacy. I guess you would call that type of medical care a waste of your time.

There are PCR tests for HIV, and different PCR tests for COVID, and different PCR tests for herpes viruses, etc. Each pathogen requires unique "primers", which are synthetic starter DNA molecules that are used for DNA amplification.

As for your second statement: The COVID PCR test is positive for about the first 14 days of infection, although rare (really rare) individuals have been positive for months (especially immunocompromised patients who lack an immune system). Many, many people who die of COVID are PCR (and rapid antigen test) negative before they die. Modern medical techniques can keep them alive for months, long after the virus has stopped replicating.

[/QUOTE]Bizarrely enough they don't seem to, in my limited experience. Sheer stupidity IMO, so best to keep a few packets of the morning-after pill in the house and the girl can swallow it before leaving.

I'm guessing most of those guys simply don't care. Here this week, gone next week, not their problem.
