Question How do you guys keep sti/std under check?

[xtc27]

"The odds of them having an asymptomatic sti multiplies drastically with every bbfs encounter they have"

This.

and,
"

How nice would it be if clients and sex workers always rinsed their mouth with mouthwash for 60 seconds before every session begin. Im sure a lot of infections from the mouth of either the client or sex worker would be killed from the use of the mouthwash as well as freshen breath

Would it be offensive or rude to ask an escort or MPA if she rinsed with mouthwash or better yet can she do it with me or infront of me so I know her mouth should be sterile and free of disease.

Visiting a $500 hr escort? NP.

A $60-80 Asian or Latina incall? They gonna laff.

… a nice Asian spa, b frank w mamasan about yer phobia & she may accommodate or suggest a girl 2 try. Many gals already do this on their own, but some don’t.

Commonly Prescribed Antibiotic May Have Other Uses: CDC

"Health care providers should consider prescribing the antibiotic doxycycline as a way to prevent some sexually transmitted infections (STIs), according to a draft recommendation that was posted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) last week."

“The purpose of the proposed guidelines is to provide updated clinical guidance for healthcare providers to inform the use of doxycycline PEP for preventing bacterial STI infections,” the health agency's document reads, referring primarily to bacterial infections such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis.

"Doxy-PEP is the first major new prevention intervention we have for STIs in decades," Dr. Mermin told CBS News last week"

Hmm... ok. But if we prescribe it too much we're going to get resistant strains.

50 ng level of Vitamin D proven to fight many diseases

"Many peer-reviewed research articles conclusively demonstrate that a low level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in the bloodstream significantly increases the risk of severe disease. Many types of immune cells rely on a suitably high level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in the bloodstream. In 2008, 48 leading vitamin D researchers called for the standard of vitamin D repletion to be 40 to 60 ng/mL of circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D."

"These researchers’ ~50 ng/mL target has been vindicated by a large body of research, one strong example being the 2014 research of doctors in a Boston hospital on the risk of both hospital-acquired and surgical site infections, as a function of pre-operative 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels. What they found was striking. Their graphs (below combined into one) are easily understood."

To achieve this blood level requires supplementation of about 5,000 iu per day, year round.
