New girl I don't offer BBFS.

So I was nervous when some other mongers said they tested positive for chlamydia. The common thread was One provider we all saw but, I got tested and it came back negative. This is after a 4 week wait period and blood with urine sample.

You're much more likely to contract herpes, gonorrhea, or chlamydia from these women. Fortunately, two of those can be cured by a single pill. Unfortunately, there is no vaccine for herpes yet.

There are unproven approaches to preventing and treating herpes. Since herpes is transmitted by skin to skin contact, skin barrier creams like Gloves in a Bottle might help. Washing immediately afterward might help, especially if using an antimicrobial soap like Defense Soap. There are a few anti-viral chemicals on the over-the-counter market for oral consumption. Monolaurin and BHT supposedly remove the outer coating of lipid coated viruses like herpes, exposing them to the body's immune system.

A study by Dr. Billigmann in 1995 concluded that protease enzymes showed identical efficacy with the drug acyclovir in treating Herpes zoster. Clinical trials of AHCC showed a 60% success rate in treating Human Papilloma Virus in women. A Japanese study found that vitamin D was more effective than a vaccine in preventing flu virus. Another study showed that "selenium inhibits the ability of all "herpes-family" viruses to reproduce". According to Dr. Weil, "Laboratory studies show that olive leaf extract has been reported to increase natural killer cell function against viruses like HIV, hepatitis B and C, and herpes".

Yes, I texted with Cas a while ago when I was bored and asked if she would do BB with me. She replied "no" and told me it's because she has herpes. I'm glad she was honest with me through texts, but once she told me that there was no way I was going to see her. A guy who used to post on this board a lot posted pics of doing her bareback a couple of years ago.

According to any health agency about 1/2 of all adults have Herpes.

Which pretty much means %100 of providers have it. If the gal says she's having an outbreak, then stay away. Otherwise it's a given that all providers and mongers have it. ESPECIALLY the BBFS mongers.

The only danger really is the significant other dropping an anvil on your head when you fail to explain how she got HSP from you AFTER you were married.

Truvada is a brand-name prescription medication that's used for treating HIV infection. It's also used for preventing HIV infection in people who have a high risk of getting HIV. This use, in which the treatment is given before the person may be exposed to HIV, is called pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP).

Caveat: If you are very paranoid about catching HIV, then get on PrEP.

But for straight, non-intravenous drug using males, the risk of contracting HIV is very low. The risk of getting HIV from barebacking an HIV positive woman through PIV (penis in vagina) sex is 1 in 10,000 according to the CDC. Meaning that if you go bare with a woman who is confirmed to have HIV, you still only have a 1/10,000 chance of contracting it from her. Despite all the ads for Truvada trying to get people to take it (funded by the drug companies to make a profit), it's still very much a disease that almost exclusively affects gay men and needle users. And even with gay sex, it's much more likely for the receptive partner to contract it.

Even though having sex with prostitutes puts us in the "high risk category" according to doctors, I personally wouldn't get on PrEP. It's not worth the cost or side effects to me. But then again, I never go bare with any of these girls.

Super good advice. Basically in plain English the drug. If you have HIV can prevent it's spread. If you DO NOT have HIV it will block you from getting it! The patent for the drug is expiring a year early and in Sept 2020 1 company will sell generic version of it in the US. Then later more companies will follow.

It is my opinion that when the drug becomes super cheap ala a few dollars daily that this could wipe off HIV if we can get everyone on board then no one could transmit it or receive it!

I'm not currently taking it when the generic is available I'm looking into it!

Kudos for bringing this up super good shit!

Well, the effectiveness to prevent HIV infection for men is around 90%. A study for women showed a much less success rate. I also read one medical study that found if you acquired HIV while using Truvada, a different cocktails of meds would treat more effectively, something about viral tolerance.

Get ready for crickets.

I've been on Truvada since for ever and I've advised mongers to get on it and I've never had a response.

I have a question, how do guys know the girls / guys (at GB's) are clean when you're with someone BBBJ / BBFS? I know you can get tested but most of the stuff has an incubation period and you can't guarantee they haven't been with anyone between the test and being with you? Is it a straight gamble or is there another way I'm not familiar with?

100% straight gamble. As a multi-year lurker and one party attendee, I personally think you guys are crazy going BB while in the next breath complaining about pros and drug addicts. Esp going home to a wife. My party was covered and I still rushed to my OBGYN for a full panel. This is why uncovered with me will always be a no no. Good luck gentlemen!

The girls first off are tested frequently, most of the group is the same way at least the regular ones. Not a perfect system but we haven't had a group incident or you would have heard about it. Not everyone including the girls do bfs at these either. To each their own as about a quarter of the guys do not do bfs at these and some of the girls do not do bfs. Everyone has their line in the sand and we all respect that. There has been accusations about girls before and they got tested with twenty four hours, none has come back where we had to set them out. Its taken very seriously being it can be the kiss of death to these types of events. Hope that answered your question.

I'm still waiting on my results (chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis minus HSV test). HIV was negative but last girl I saw was 2 days before so I'll get it done again in a couple of weeks. I'll get full blood work done after the holidays. For incubation window purposes. If you want to know who I saw, PM me.

My results finally came in and it's negative. My signs and symptoms disappeared; barely lasting a week.A bit of relief but again, I'll get tested again after the holidays to make sure.

Newsflash: fucking a prostitute bare, regardless of her ethnic or social background, includes a certain amount of health risk. If you're on this forum, there's a good chance you partake in this risky endeavor, or are contemplating it (if not, why are you here? Specifically, having unprotected sex with women from Korea (or Asia). These aren't skanky street walkers possibly shooting up or servicing men sans prophylactic who do, so I'd reckon the risk those here take is even lower to become infected with the HIV virus. If you don't want to take that risk: DON'T, and go discuss why or the statistics about it etc somewhere else. For those who do: let's get back to the sharing of intel about hot Asian women. Enough of all this shit guys. Hopefully, if you're partaking in BBFS with providers, you've done your own research on possible preventive measures to take or other pertinent things of that nature and aren't using this forum as your source for AIDS info. Thank you.
