Burned in TJ- STDs are Real

[Aland]

Lots of good info here (although sounds like it cost Kitty Freak some horror in missery) - be kewl and Karma will take care of you. And if not, a male clinic will!

 

[Jr. is angry]

Why do you say that? I caught something once, went to the doctor and got a shot.

As you can see, it is possible the chica has chlamydia without knowing it. Also that NGU was caused by oral, vaginal, or anal sex with an infected partner.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

An estimated 2.8 million Americans are infected with chlamydia each year. Latex male condoms, when used consistently and correctly, can reduce the risk of transmission of chlamydia.

Chlamydia can be transmitted during vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Chlamydia is known as a "silent" disease because about three quarters of infected women and about half of infected men have no symptoms. If symptoms do occur, they usually appear within 1 to 3 weeks after exposure.

Women who have symptoms might have an abnormal vaginal discharge or a burning sensation when urinating. Some women still have no signs or symptoms; others have lower abdominal pain, low back pain, nausea, fever, pain during intercourse, or bleeding between menstrual periods. Chlamydial infection of the cervix can spread to the rectum.

Men with signs or symptoms might have a discharge from their penis or a burning sensation when urinating. Men might also have burning and itching around the opening of the penis.

In women, untreated infection can spread into the uterus or fallopian tubes and cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). This happens in up to 40 percent of women with untreated chlamydia. PID can cause permanent damage to the fallopian tubes, uterus, and surrounding tissues. Complications among men are rare.

Chlamydia can be easily treated and cured with antibiotics. A single dose of azithromycin or a week of doxycycline (twice daily) are the most commonly used treatments.

>>>>> They got an immediate positive on the test and the doctor identified it as a NGU (don't ask me what that is). I was given a 2g dose of zithromax and a shot of something else Cemflix something. The symptoms have gradually gone away over a few days.

I actually plan to return to TJ soon to inform the SG that she is infected and to at least give her medicine from a TJ drug store. She shouldn't be out there infected and, I fear, spreading this around to even more people.

--------------------------

NGU = nongonococcal urethritis.

NGU can be caused by numerous germs, the most common being chlamydia. I'm not an expert, but I do know that millions of young Americans test positive for chlamydia each year. I'm willing to bet that a HUGE number of TJ sex workers have chlamydia but don't even know it because chlamydia doesn't always show symptoms. But it can make you sterile if left untreated. You definately should let the lady know you are being treated for it. Here is a link with specifics...

Good to hear from some logical people- Burt2020 and Fireballs. To give details about the experience-

I went to the clinic the day after developing symptoms (itchiness, burning urination). The service at the Free Clinic was slow and no frills, but I respect that they provide this service to the public, so I can't complain. I was told to piss in the cup and they didn't need to swab me because apparently I was dripping like a leaky faucet. They got an immediate positive on the test and the doctor identified it as a NGU (don't ask me what that is). I was given a 2g dose of zithromax and a shot of something else Cemflix something. The symptoms have gradually gone away over a few days.

I actually plan to return to TJ soon to inform the SG that she is infected and to at least give her medicine from a TJ drug store. She shouldn't be out there infected and, I fear, spreading this around to even more people.

I have had a few, and I mean 2-3 WG in TJ reject my Trojans. But, I carry a sealed box of 3 and use that with a first time date. I also carry my own high quality lube. When I am a regular, girls know me for my attention to safe sex so it is never a concern.

I just cannot understand what kind of person is out there looking for the troubles I've just had- you would have to be completely insane. Wear a good quality condom. If you have been exposed by a broken condom or if you have had unprotected sex of any kind - go get tested even if you aren't showing symptoms. You could be spreading disease all over the place. There is risk in all things. But, there is also a difference between a calculated risk, like putting money in the stock market, and complete stupidity, like betting your life savings on a game of roulette!

kittyfreak...sorry you having troubles. Hope all turns out well.

I neve had a problem with a Mexican condom, except when the puta puts them on me the wrong way, they sometimes fall off, or if I was too drunk and I didn't put them on right. I'm not concerned about the quality of the condom, but I'm sure many of the readers are, but keep in mind like Sampson said before, many of these 'providers' in Tijuana will refuse your American Trojans, because they have heard of 'ASSHOLES' putting pinholes in the condoms, or like you who don't trust Mexican condoms, they don't TRUST American condoms! [ but I think only a few will refuse to use your Trojans]

I don't like to give medical advice so I won't give out details what I would do if a condom broke on me with a puta who does other guys BBFS, but I have been tested before because of itching and tenderness on the tip of my dick from a Street whore back in the US a few years ago, and maybe one other time. Both times they had me PISS in the cup and it showed nothing/ negative, then they do that swab down the urethra, yes lots of FUN, but I usually had to wait a few days for them to tell me the tests came out negative, but each time they gave me a dose of doxycycline even when they didn't have the complete test results in. Then they tell me to get a HIV test in 6th months, because now would be a waste of time, as it takes at least 6 months for something to show up, maybe the tests are better now?

Yes it's a little embarrassing to go to your family doctor. I went to a free clinic before, and hated the wait and bad service. One thing others might want to do is get tested in Tijuana, as many doctors do speak english and the visits are quick. I would even consider using a place like VivaMex to get tested for STDs and HIV, because they have a doctor that speaks English, and since mongers go there for massage, I bet the Doctor would not bat an eye over you seeing a Mexican puta, like a US doctor would. [ I told a doctor once and he FREAKED out, saying what are you CRAZY!]It's not an endorsement of VivaMex, as I'm still against businesses expanding too much in other areas, but I don't have a current doctor in TJ, although I used them before with good results, and Vivamex says they have a doctor that speaks English, and getting tested is not something big like surgery - I just don't see the harm, and I'm sure those tests are at least as good as those free clinics I hate in the STATES.

Jimmy Norton?

 

[NellyE]

With all due respect (which is none) you are crazy and stupid.

 

[This is NOT a Brothel]

Big deal. We get laid and sometimes we catch something. Would it be better for you to be sexless?

 

[jd59]

I hope your good luck continues. I never had this problem either. But, it does happen-especially if you are foolish enough to use some off-brand Mexican condom. It would be easy, but incredibly stupid, to blame the victim. But, as any soldier can attest to, you always think it is the other guy who is going to get wasted on the battlefield. Of course you are invincible...right? Well, think twice. I've been at this hobby for 17 years and this is a first for me. I actually have written against unsafe practices on this forum several times- I generally been careful. Who would expect me to be the one to get burned?!?

I must admit, I have been unsafe in the past on numerous occasions- usually with Korean girls at AMPs. They used to be somewhat more laid back about condom usage at AMPs 10-15 years ago if you were a regular and the girl liked you. I didn't request BB, the girl would just not use it and I'd go along with it. Ironically, the times I have been unsafe (many years ago when I was young and foolish) I got so freaked out by the possibility of something like this that I reaffirmed my dedication to safe practices. But, STDs are out there. Yes, it is a risk, but it is an avoidable one- so use your brain.

If you think it could never happen to you then you are a fool.

 

[kaynoxdemon]

That sucks, but that the risk we mongers take. I never had a problem with rubbers breaking.

 

[dew1glass]

Heads up, fellas (no pun intended). I was in TJ last Sunday night and contracted the clap. I was practicing safer sex but made the mistake of using a cheap ass Mexican rubber supplied by the SG. It broke during sex. I don't know the SG's name- she is on Main Street about halfway up the hill on the same side as the Police Station. On Wednesday I noticed burning during urination- time to get checked out. Yep, the clap. I have one more day of antibiotics and no longer feel the burn. But, this has been an embarrassing and painful ordeal- you try having a female doctor at the Free Clinic examine your dick and poke a swab down the urethra (yes, into the dick). I said I had sex with a strange girl I met at a club- so technically this is not a big lie. Still it was completely humiliating. I couldn't stand the thought of facing my own doctor or a hospital ER with an STD.

The worse part is I still could come up positive for HIV ( I took the first test today- the next is in 30 days) or herpes (there is no reliable test but symptoms can take up to 60 days to develop) - so the next 2 months will be sheer hell while I wait to find out. This is an all-time low- after so many years of safe fun.

The worst part is that I do not do bareback sex, this is because of a failed cheap-ass mexican condom. I have gone BBFS with 2 pros in my whole life, both over 5 years ago and never in TJ. I have not done BB in my personal life for over 3 years. I am still kicking myself for only bringing one Trojan with me and not stopping at the pharmacy to buy more before the encounter- talk about bad luck.

Lessons learned:
1) If you are going bareback in TJ, then you have an excellent chance of getting an STD. You are also helping to spread STDs to innocent victims like me. Stop it! This was my first broken condom there and my first case of STDs in this lifetime. I partially blame the barebackers out there for this- you disgusting disease spreading sons of bitches!

2) Always make sure to bring a good supply of American-made Trojans (or similar quality) condoms. Never use a condom from a WG if it isn't a Trojan. Those Mexican condoms are pieces of shit.

3) Always ask a girl for a bareback date- damn near insist on it. If she is willing to do it even for extra money, turn and walk-away. I have always made this a practice in the past. Lately I got lazy and stopped asking. You should ask. If she will do BB, then she is a filthy diseased bitch just waiting to burn you, or worse.

Now excuse me while I go pray and then get shitfaced to numb the sheer horror of this experience.
