Re: All you need to know about Genital Herpes
 

just want to let u guy be aware that HIV is very much alive, a close friend of mine just got it. :(

Re: All you need to know about Genital Herpes
 

not say cannot, but there are always potential new STD more deadly than HIV appearing in the future. why not protect yourself, while u can.

Re: All you need to know about Genital Herpes
 

u can still have raw sex and normal babies. Just make sure u dont do it when you have an attack.

Re: All you need to know about Genital Herpes
 

I wonder... since HSV II and HPV are skin contact diseases, and according to the statistics every 1 out of 6 person in this world have it, how come the Geylang GRO's are so lucky? In turns, how come the brothers here all so lucky? If we go by the way it works, 1 out of 6 brothers will get HPV or HSV II, or both. (Choi Choi Choi, Pui Pui Pui... touch wood)

HPV is not easy to diagnose without symptoms, what if the DSC cannot confirm the HPV presents during the GRO's regular checks?

The commercial sex are still ok, at least they check. Imagine those one night stand couples at entertainment outlets. 17% possibilities tio, tio TOTO also not so high chance. Scary, ninabeh...

:eek:

Re: All you need to know about Genital Herpes
 

Brudders,

IMHO, there is a way to cut down on the risk of Herpes.

I got this tip from a doctor friend who cheongs too.... wipe your cock and balls with Betadine before the deed. This is because its a broad spectrum anti-viral / bacterial agent and is widely used in surgical theaters to prevent infection. A condom as all brudders know, only protects the area it actually covers. Your balls and surround areas are still potential trasmission sites.
In one study, people who painted their herpes sores with Betadine had less of the virus.

Betadine is used to treat people who already have it. Sores are wiped down with Betadine to dry them out. Logically, if you don't have it, a layer of the stuff (long lasting) should give u some protection.

While you are unlikely to get a WL to paint their CBs with the stuff, you can paint yourself with it. Small plastic bottles of the stuff is available from Guardian pharmacies.

In fact, there appears to be evidence that Betadine is effective in reducing HIV.

See

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/q...&dopt=Abstract

Whenever I get the chance, I put a drop of the liquid at the tip of my cock in addition to putting on a condom for greater protection.

Play safe brudders

Re: All you need to know about Genital Herpes
 

So you mean we apply the Betadine and then put on the condom? Will there be any adverse reaction or caused the condom to rupture? or skin irritation to us and the woman's vagina?
