That has got to be the best post of the year. Yes we all have STD's but they are socially transmitted.

I always was under the impression it was sexually transmitted diseases Always use protection is the only way
It isn’t worth risking acquiring any unpleasantness in the nether regions

Always handy to have some doxycillin and Acyclovir handy if you are prepared to risk it
trust me im a doctor

or if you get something a bit more exotic a bottle of lucazade , aids recovery

I know you're a young man Charlie, but I bet you know that STD is something you heard of and are aware of.
Why ask if you know?
You also know that you need rubber to prevent this.
I don't want HIV. That is what everybody should think before any action.
How can you see that the lady in front of you are infected by any of the most current std? Or not!!
They are all infected until you know for sure that they're not.

Thanks for the replies, I'm not a stranger to sex so I know to use protection and that any STD's can still be obtained. I guess my question is more directed towards AIDS. I've read numerous things about Asia and the AIDS rate they have there. I'm just curious to know if there is an unusually high rate in HH, for AIDS or any other diseases.Thnx

What is UNUSUAL HIGH RATE?
What is NORMAL RATE?
To be honest I think you should ask Mr Thoksin about this.
How can we possible know this?
Reading and compile statistics is not what I want to do.
Expect the worst.
Make your precaution!!!

Dr Dave That was a JOKE or was it too sutle
its my dry northern sence of humour!

Ok here we Go Thailand is the 49th highest ranking country for Aids / Hiv this includes men women and children out of a 168 countries on the globe
Thailand
HIV/AIDS - adult prevalence rate
(%) 1.50 Per head of pop which is HIGH no doubting it is HIGH
these figures only document treated patients, so the count on the stats may well be considerably higher.
Thailand
HIV/AIDS - people living with HIV/AIDS
570,000 est 2003,
again these figures are only treated patients and are 3 years out of date Aquiring up to date info on certain subjects is quite dificult here
in the rankings Thailand comes in at number 17 for Hiv and Aids which is HIGH
Thailand
HIV/AIDS - deaths 58,000 est, 2003
ranking 13th very high per head of pop , globaly which is only treated and recorded deaths of patients
risk of other desieses degree of risk: high
food or waterborne diseases: bacterial diarrhea and hepatitis A
vectorborne diseases: dengue fever, malaria, Japanese encephalitis, and plague are high risks in some locations
animal contact disease: rabies
water contact disease: leptospirosis and NSU"s (none specific urinary)or STD

I do hope this does answer your question Charlie and enlighten a few others
but in no way let it dampen your spirit a suggestion would bring protection from home as you can be sure of the quality of the product the same can not be garanteed from manufacturers here
dont let the drink and emotion take over from common sence

Dr. Dave. You have to open your clinic again.
Charlie's question was:
"is there an unusually high rate in HH, for AIDS or any other diseases".

It's hard to find specific and detailed information of the locally health situation in Thailand.

Dr Toxin however should know the score, but he will never answer in public.
Can you ask him Dr. Dave?

Post by lfc3acmilan3 »

ive just got back from HH and so far so good, but then i did use protection. i think because the bar girls are so fastidious with protection and cleanliness that stds are probably not as big a thing as they are over here in england. also compare your average HH girl to a back street amuser in bangkok, with the tattoos, gouges in her arms and drugged up look in her eyes and you get a rough idea. as a rule of thumb though, never go with a bar girl with tattoos. before you get down to it, ask if you can do it without protection, if she says yes, dont even do it WITH a condom. ask the girl how long she has been in business, the less the better. before you go to thailand, blag your doctor into giving you heavy duty antibiotics, and take them after your last assignation, so that any std is blitzed. try not to worry about hiv, weve got our own theory about it in liverpool (its an absolute load of bollocks) but there must be something in it. i dont think it is as rife amongst non iv drug takers, because it is actually quite hard to pass on otherwise. government stats are misleading, and governments are always saying the things that give you pleasure give you pain! also, as bill hicks once said," all governments are lying c**k- suckers". in conclusion, if you use protection, avoid the rough looking bar girls, there is more chance of winning the lottery than catching something life threatening!

oh, i almost forgot. i was talking to a HH bar girl(freelance) from by the fishing pier, and she was telling me that there was HIV in HH, but amongst the lady boys. she said she wasnt sure about herself, as she was clear after she had her baby, but since she had been with farangs since without using anything. i think she was more than likely ok, but i didnt take the risk myself. like i said before, there must be something in it, but why has it only got letters after all these years, and not a latin name?

Well, to suggest that any sexual encounter can contribute to "horrible diseases" if the offending person has tattoos and where they're from, is erroneous.
It's all around, everywhere.
However, your comments are noted and good advice for all and sundry.
Please moderate your language etc, because your views are welcome.

Dave's and the earlier post by SHADOW more or less agree with the figures I have seen published in by WHO and other organisations that monitor these things.

As for Thailand being 49th in the world out of 168 countries for HIV sounds a fair estimate to me. The problem sith statistices is that the methods of obtaining them and the samples used (no pun intended) vary and will be of no value to you as a visitor of Thailand who frequents bars that supply take aways.

In Thailand, as in all countries of the world the average is increased dramaitically when the sample is from the SWT (Sex Workers Trade). It is also true that in the world of Lady Boys, Male Homosexuality and Intervenous drug users that the average is increased even further.

Other factors that must have an effect on percentages is that of promiscuroty. Thailand is very much most western countries in that respect although I suspect the use of condoms is lower here.

As for other STDs, there are many. All of them as far as I know are treatable if addressed swiftly. Some can remain dormant and I believe in some cases people can be infected ther whole lives without symptons and any awareness that they carry the disease. The more serious ones can kill if untreated although I believe there would be indicative symptoms beforehand.

As for HH being any more or less risk than anywhere else, it is almost impossible to say.

The main differences here for a single man on holiday when staying with a girl for a night that no matter where you met her she is almost certainly going to be in some way involved in the trade.

Another thing to note is that for a man to catch HIV from a lady under normal circumstances is extremely difficult, in fact HIV is quite a difficult virus to pass from person to person tom person as it can not survive outside of a living organism like Hepatitus so needs to be passed from body fluid directly into the recipients blood stream. In Hetrosexual activities between two otherwise healthy people that should not happen

This is not true of other so called STDs (some of which are not STDs at all). But as none of these is a killer as such and can be cured then they are really of little danger to yourself. They should of course be treated immediately they are discovered and other people should not be exposed to them by you.

The most serious effect I have seen caused by minor STDS is the effect it can have on peoples lives and families when they return home and pass something nasty on to their wives and girlfriends.

So if in doubt save money and do it yourself. If you live here and can not go without then find a long term stable relationship.

On here awhile back I posted a story about a Thai family I know, where exactly the above has happened to them but with HIV. The Father went playing and infected his wife before she got pregnant. The Mother has now passed, the Father still looks healthy, and their 6 year old daughter shows no signs yet and doesn't even know what it's all about. Sad story to be sure.

As a side note for what it's worth, I've read several times over the past few months that decade long analysis has shown that un-circumsized men have a 9 times greater chance of contracting HIV then men who are. Pete
