PeterRS Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 11 hours ago, YoungWesternTop said: Is syphillis easily transmissible through oral thought? What if you’re the person receiving the BJ? And how likely if you wore a condom to contract it? Condoms certainly help but even kissing can be a way to transmit syphilis. The real problem is that an individual can be infected with it and not know it. The average time from infection to noticing (or not noticing) symptoms is 31 days but can range from 10 to 90 days. Unless treated, as this CDC advisory states - "Syphilis can spread during vaginal, anal, or oral sex . . . A single chancre marks the onset of the primary (first) stage of syphilis, but there may be multiple sores. The chancre is usually (but not always) firm, round, and painless. It appears at the location where syphilis enters the body. These painless chancres can occur in locations that make them difficult to notice (e.g., the vagina or anus). The chancre lasts 3 to 6 weeks and heals regardless of whether a person receives treatment. However, the infection will progress to the secondary stage if the person with syphilis does not receive treatment." Worryingly, the guidline also points out - "In the United States, MSM who are HIV-negative and diagnosed with P&S syphilis are more likely to get HIV in the future." It's quite normal now for those getting HIV tests also to be tested for syphillis - and I reckon with the current trends this is highly advisable. Treatment is usually three weekly injections into the upper thigh and is not expensive. https://www.cdc.gov/std/syphilis/stdfact-syphilis-detailed.htm#:~:text=Syphilis spreads from person-to,%2C anal%2C or oral sex.

Start taking it a week before heading to Thailand and continue till at least one week after you're back home. So at least you don't have to worry about catching the most serious of all the STDs. As for using a condom for oral, it's truly up to you to decide what's an accepted pleasure-risk ratio. Thanks, but PREP only protects against HIV right? Are there any side effects from it?

reader Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 It must be clear by now, even to you, Mavic, that there will never be an end to this yarn. You're obviously frustrated that you've been taken in by a newbie way above your pay grade. 🙂 vinapu, floridarob, Mavica and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm new here also, so I'm not sure if all the more established members are right... or if you're genuinely curious and anxious. If your curious and anxious, I'd suggest that you talk to your local sexual health providers about your concerns. They'd have a better idea about your personal medical situation, and can advise you better about risks; and hopefully be experts on it I would say that you do seem a bit too anxious about it. Condoms for oral sex is a bit over the top, IMO. I'd refuse if a guy wanted to wear one to get blown. I don't want a mouthful of latex. But I understand the risks, and make my choices appropriately.

Old daddy trolls a lot, but he’s at least been to Pattaya. Even if we respond to trolling, so what. They bring up topics to discuss. floridarob, Mavica and Londoner 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londoner Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 I go along with that. And we need younger posters, just as gay Thailand needs younger gay visitors. Look at it this way; any new poster may be trolling. Maybe. However, some may just be not well-versed in the conventions and appear naïve. So what? If there is one chance in twenty that the newbie is genuine, give the poor b***** a break and see what happens. Who gets hurt by being generous? omega, Ruthrieston, Mavica and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read what I posted and do a little research, Doxycycline (a common antibiotic) can also be used as bacterial PEP or PrEP to greatly reduce chances of getting a bacterial STD (like syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea) if you are exposed. other antibiotics you may already have will probably also have some protective affect from both STDs and travelers Diarrhea. this info is commonly available on the internet.

maump Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Just watched mainstream media (PBS newshour) 6 minutes discussion on Doxy-Pep. discussed the concern of overuse of antibiotics... including the fact that this antibiotic is old and is commonly used for acne treatment. using for STDs seems reasonable. This antibiotic is available over the counter in many countries. In the PH and thailand, every sniffle and they go to the store and get an antibiotic (if they have money). Often I was amused in Thai BL series they run and get "medicine" for every imagined illness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cousin is a doctor that specializes in drug resistant diseases. She would tell you straight up: antibiotics should not be available over the counter and any general practitioner that prescribes an antibiotic because you have the sniffles is doing more harm than good. 🤓 Mavica and floridarob 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it is as regular as every time one has sex... then that would push the risks much higher. floridarob and hojacat 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
