Depends on what you caught.. and symptoms don't always show up.. which is why it's best to get tested at least a month post exposure then again after the window period.

But assuming it's gono, for men it's usually after 2 days to 2 weeks that symptoms will show.(women will often go without symptoms)

Get screened, if you can do the test with the thera, even better.(so you can have a good baseline)

correct. In fact, regular testing is a social and moral responsibility.

Share ko lang para sa mga clueless.

HIV is not that easy to get if you use condoms. Mas common yan sa mga gays and bi-sexual males.

Proper condom use will likely reduce chances by 98% (kahit 80% lang nakadeclare sa wikipedia). Just make sure you use a trusted brand like durex or okamoto. Wag gumamit ng hindi kilalang brand.

Also, use lubricant every time you do it. Put it on both the inside and the outside of the condom.

You can get HPV and Herpes even with a condom but it prevents the virus from being contracted in the penis area. Hanggang pubic area ka lang pwede mainfect.

HPV has a vaccine called Gardasil-9. It's about 10k per shot, and you need a total of 3 shots every 3 month in between. It prevents majority of HPV infections. Wag na magtipid, kunin nyo na. It lessens the chances of penis, throat, and anal cancer. For girls, reduces the chances of cervical cancer too.

Herpes naman may 2 types:

HSV 1 - 90% of americans have this. You get it from kissing, sharing utensils. Especially common in kissing babies. This is normally found outside the mouth. You don't have to worry too much about this, the outbreaks happen rarely after the first year.

HSV 2 - very common sa genital area and you can contract it via skin to skin contact. No cure or vaccine for this pero may dindevelop na sa USA using mRNA technology kaya baka abutin pa ng 5-10 years. You normally get it for 2 weeks, and then it gets healed after 1 month. Every year the hsv2 weakens in your body as you your immune system gets used to it.

All other STDs are curable with meds but if late nyo nadiscover, it can cause liver damage or even death.

I suggest the following:

- Never do live. Avoid theras who do live.

- Don't go to shady MPs or Spas who don't priority safety and hygiene. Especially the low-priced ones.

- Avoid theras who do rimming

- Avoid DATY

- Try not to go to Spas or MPs na sobrang dilim because they can't see the guests, they don't know if may STD once they do the ES.

- As for theras - avoid performing high mileage ES for bi-sexual men

- Take a shower before and after you do it because that kills germs and may prevent infections

- Avoid sex if you have any cuts (sugat) near your genital area.

- Get a STI checkup every 6 months to detect and cure STDs habang hindi pa kumakalat. Theras should have this at least 1x a month.

- Nuru massages and slides are very prone to HPV and Herpes (HSV2) with or without penetration. These massages are very high risk. Please be careful.

- Wag basta basta kumuha ng walker. A lot of them have no idea about STDs. They might be high risk.

All good advice except the part where you said to put lubricant inside the condom. Don't do this. The condom is supposed to grip your penis and stay on during penetrative sex. Make sure to use the correct lubricant as well since there are lubricants that degrade the latex material and may cause tears. 

The thing to worry about is not so much that you will contract HIV especially if you're smart enough to use condoms.

What you need to worry about is all the other STDs (esp those that are transmitted via skin-to-skin contact) that you can get EVEN WITH a condom.

e.g. HPV, herpes.

sorry to bother, am new here
know a guy who very lightly stuck the tip in
if anybody knows, how often do theras get tested for hiv and stds and the like?
i'd like to think it's often enough not to worry, but ang sobrang praning ng kaibigan ko
any info at all on this would be great gms ty

Most likely unaware. HIV medication is offered 100% free by Philippine government.

 

It's either hindi sya aware or isinecret. Anyway thanks for the info.

But 'probable' means hindi sure right? Kasi I heard no actual tests were done for that particular illness.

No. Normal CBC does not test for HIV infection. You will need to specifically undergo HIV screening. HIV/AIDS is generally only transmitted via blood / semen contact.

You cannot catch HIV through saliva.

You will need to inform those who have had sexual contact with your relative to get themselves tested. It appears your relative is not aware of his/her HIV status.

So hindi sya nadedetect thru normal cbc? Kasi all of a sudden bigla na lang sya nanghina and bumagsak immune system. Prone ba to infection yung mga nagbantay sa hospital?

it means the patient has HIV and has contracted hiv-related illnesses as opposed to Z21 (asymptomatic)

A family member just died. Any professional here who knows what 'probable B20' means?

Symptoms of syphilis usually evident throughout the body; not just genitals.

Even with a condom, you can however contract herpes / hpv as these are transmitted via skin-to-skin contact.

Condoms only cover the shaft of the penis.

Herpes is not always visually detectable.

Hope that helps

Pwede ba magka hiv kht gumamit ka ng condom?

if used correctly, no.
