[QUOTE=Opebo] I hope it is not I to whom you are referring, Rubber Nursey. [/QUOTE]By the process of elimination, dear Opebo, RN probably was referring to you.
As for your translation request, a non-troll would ask only once. After being ignored by sensible members, a non-troll would soon get the message and desist. A troll would persist by repeating the request several times.
I still think you need to get checked for syphilis. Blood test will do it nicely. Nothing to be afraid of, surely.

[/QUOTE]Piper1,
I am actually surprised that somebody replied to Opebo's request. It is so ridiculous - and dangerously ignorant.

[QUOTE=Opebo]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.[/QUOTE]
She sounds like a girl I must of had sex with while not using condoms.
Oh well, Opebo, seems that all that bare backing has finally caught up with you. Not having learned this life lesson, you now proceed to self medicate and advise others. You even offer medication to a 'friend'. She may be allergic, has unknown medical conditions etc...
I am sorry, you are a fool. Hookers are Hookers for a reason. Poor, uneducated with few choices. Many can't read and are completely ignorant towards proper use of pharmaceuticals.
Ground rule in Thailand. Don't mix and mingle with hookers unless it's for sex!

[QUOTE=Opebo]Mick Licker, the price of one box of five 250 miligram tablets of Zithromax is about 560 baht (of course one only takes four, a 1g dose. - not unlike the oft-malented missmatch between the quantity of hotdogs and buns). I rarely pay that much for sex, so Zithromax is more expensive than the act which occasions its use. But thanks so much for the tip about 'Binozyt'! How much does that run, in your experience?
Alas, in spite of many replies I still do not know how to communicate my exhortation to the lady in question.[/QUOTE]
I believe that 'Binozyt' cheaper brand equivalent was about half the price.
While I am not totally against self medication due to the doctors treating me less than adequately when I had Chlamydia, I am not totally in favour of feeding the pill to the girl.
She needs to know she probably has the clap somehow.
You are best to communicate it the message to her perhaps by getting someone to write it in Thai. If she can't read, then you could perhaps make a recording of someone speaking in Thai e.g. on MP3 player or the like, or taking her to see a doctor directly.
There is no totally easy answer I fear, but you are right to be concerned about her being cured.

It is common, due to the cost, for third world doctors to prescribe the minimum dosage and hope for the best. This leads to obscuring the symptoms and assisting the development of resistant organisms.
That simply means, because you are too foolish to wear a condom but smart enough to practice medicine without a license, that expensive antibiotic may not work in the future.
I'm sure we all appreciate your contribution

Well said, exactly what I have been saying here for ages.
Animby is mistaken. 1g is recommended by more sources than 2g, and is almost always effective. There is no reason, Animby, to expose yourself to an excess amount of an antibiotic when the adequate sufficiency will do - there are, after all, side effects.
Please, in future, Animby, strive not to engage in ad hominem attack. The choice whether or not to use a condom is a matter of personal taste and priorities, not one of 'intelligence'.

[QUOTE=Opebo]The choice whether or not to use a condom is a matter of personal taste not one of 'intelligence'. [/QUOTE]A little research will show that there's a correlation between choosing not to use condoms, and lower IQ.
There's also a correlation between choosing not to use condoms, and 'hypermasculinity' (i.e., exaggeration of stereotypical male behavior to compensate for feelings of sexual inferiority).
So that's why I always use condoms. ;)
[QUOTE=Piper1]2g is recommended for syphilis.[/quote]
It cures that too? What a wonder drug! But of course syphilis is very rare.

Interesting, Piper. Please see my latest report in 'Other Areas' for a cowardly tale which proves that I am neither very masculine, nor at all embarrassed by that fact.
[QUOTE=Opebo] But of course syphilis is very rare. [/QUOTE]You're correct if you consider 1.2% of the Thai population having syphilis to be 'rare'. But being a prime candidate, you can multiply that at least ten-fold in your case. Minimum 12% chance? Time for a blood test.

Who needs a blood test when you can self medicate?
HaHaHa (cavernous Vincent Price-like laugh)
I'm not going to get involved in a big back and forth here. You can take my word for what I say or doubt it. Don't bother me none. I am a medical doctor and I work all over the world.
The accepted dose of this medicine for NONgonoccal urethritis is one gram in a single dose. For Gonococcal urethritis (ie gonnorhea) the recommended dose is TWO grams in a single dose.
Sorry, but this med is not recommended for the treatment of syphillis without specific culture to demonstrate sensitivity.
Taking too much of an antibiotic (within dosage limits) will do no harm. Taking too little leads to hiding symptoms, incomplete cures and resistant bacteria.
Condom use? Yes, it is a matter of personal choice. But so is putting on a blindfold and trying to cross the street in Bangkok. Both are also foolish. I don't know if either activity has a direct correlation to IQ. But I suspect they do.
That's my last on this subject. I don't wish to argue.
Here a link everyone should read before falling for the stupid idea of self medication promoted here by some notorious fools who have a share in the responsibility for such an outcome.
