mga dok ciprobay XR ba pwede? 500mg once a day for seven days tama ba yun???

 

Ciprobay is just an antibiotic designed to k*ll bacteria. But there are a lot of other STDs caused by other organisms which is not bacteria, ergo which cannont be treated by Cirporbay:

 

HIV/ AIDS is caused by a virus, walang gamot that cures it. All drugs are experimental and nothing has shown to completely eradicate the HIV virus.

 

Genital Warts or kulugo is caused by Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). There is a new vaccine for this one peroeffective lang up to early twenty years old. This is associated with multiple sexual partners. Treatment is done by surgeons/ Gynecologists and dermatologists, using electrocautery. Recurrence is possible.

 

Herpes is a virus, there is a drug for it. Acyclovir. It helps get the lesions out soon.

 

The above STDs cannot be cured by Ciprobay or any other antibiotic. It is also advised that when you get an STD, say Gonnorrhea or Syphyllis or Chlamydia, antibiotics is not enough. You should be advised to be screened for HIV and the others because the risk of acquiring another form of STD is high if you already have one.

Kaya mas mabuting magpa-consulta sa Doktor. Hindi naman gamot ang binabayaran mo pag nag-konsulta ka ng Doktor, it is the peace of mind that you are on the safe side.

how bout urinary tract infection? is it considered as a std? is it possible to get such from a girl's dirty mouth; after a oral sex with girl's with tooth decay?

 

I'm not a full-pledged doctor because I worked for a pharmaceutical company straightly after medical school days. However, during my stint at medical school I religiously studied pathology and medicine especially on STDs (because I was sexually active at that time and I find it very interesting). Until I noticed all of my friends are consulting me about STDs. Anyway, so much for an intro.

 

UTI is not an STD per se. From the term itself, SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED disease, you can only transmit or acquire it by sexual intercourse. Anal, vagina, mouth or any other part of the body that has a moist area or fluids can transmit or acquire STD. If you are blown by a lady who did some oral to a guy with an STD, (Herpes, Gonno, SY) chances are, you will acquire the microrganism. If the girl you had contact with has mild UTI, you may or may not get it. It depends on the severity of the UTI and the level of your immunity.

 

Hope this helps.

Mga Docs, I saw at makati med sa blood bank nila, that donors are screened first for hepa/hiv and other diseases. Is this test usual? are this reliable? do you agad ba if ur infected or not?

 

 

this is an SOP in bloodbanks b'coz they want to make sure that the blood that they are going to transfuse to their patients are safe. reliability...yes they are. they screen you of the usual blood born dse like hep. B, malaria, and other infections. you'll know if your infected...not really. as you said, they are screening procedures. they detect antibodies/antigens specific for an infection, however, having the antibody or antigen DOES NOT imply infection itself. if you ant to make sure, have the specific confirmatory test done.

how common is genital hpv infection? totoo ba na lahat ng babae sa massage parlors ay meron nito?

 

now that's stereotyping :thumbsdownsmiley:

 

of course not! its like saying all birds can fly! admittedly, sex workers has a higher risk in acquiring genital warts (the disease you get for getting the virus), all of us are at risk. besides, high class massage parlors guarantee the safety of costumers by following a standard safe sex protocol and have their ladies checked-up every once in a while.

impossible naman ma check ang hpv sa guys, do you mean all massage parlors provide pap smear to all their sex workers?

 

 

yeah seriously, i have no confidence in these so-called "regular checkups". what do they actually get tested for pag nag pacheckup? i would think that they would get tests for a few diseases, but i strongly doubt that they get tested for ALL stds.
