(...)someone had mentioned to me that there are western guys in jail here for infecting girls with std's, though he is known for talking shit and peddling fear, still I put 2+2 together and got 16.

You shouldn't give too much credit to what expats tell you in bars, a beer in the hand, while you didn't ask anything. Bars are full of people who approach you, saying "I've done Vietnam" and who imagine themselves living in a dangerous country, full of spies, bad cops, corrupted communist stufs, diseases, drug dealers, wild animals, robbers, ladyboys, etc... Usually they don't know much about life in their own country and pretend to teach you about a country they have just been for a few months, chating only with english speaker barflies.

Wherever it is, one should not have sex without condom before both partners got a blood&urine test. Basic sense of responsibility.

Good luck with your treatment.

It only affects women, and same goes for chlamydia.

Where did you learn that HPV and chlamydia only affect women?

Chlamydia only presents symptoms in women, and while it can lead to infertility, it doesn't affect men.

Wrong. There is a very small percentage of men who may have chlamydia without showing symptoms. In most men, the symptoms will be very similar to those of gonorrhea - a burning sensation with milky discharge at all times. Symptoms usually appear after about 2 weeks after exposure and infection. Antibiotics such as azithromycin can be used for cure.

HPV hardly affects men at all.

Wrong again. HPV causes genital warts. Men can get the warts all over their private parts, and they look like small skin tags. Some are so small they are barely visible. But a qualified doctor can see them. There is no medicine which cures HPV, but the warts can be removed (usually burned off) and there will be no recurrence if all are found and removed.

This information is readily available on reputable websites, which may be found using our friend, Google. Please don't post irresponsible information on this forum.

I'm planning on having whichever pretty lady tested for everything. Blood and Urine. Whatever the cost. Not gonna do anything with her til at least the test comes back all negative. Only issue will be her having to stay with me 24/7 an not let her out of my sight so I know she hasn't shlumped some other dude in the mean time. Thinkin maybe safer to just go out of the big cities an into the country. Find a decent village or two. I wonder how many ladies I will have to go through before I find one that is STD free??

Stay classy, Expat.com...

This blog needs a sarcasm font.

If his reply was sarcasm then it was a little too good since a nice chunk of expats are that way here.

Actually Colin,
they are coloured latex mobile phone covers to protect from the rain.
At least that's what I heard was their only use in HCM.

Be safe people,use protection and cover up your phones when it rains.
