How often do you get an STD?

[Guest BBSeroMan]

Gonno. nearly every other month. Dicks always dripping here.

Well, I've recently had syphilis, and this of course, probably from the London area. I won't spread it intentionally, so during the penicillin cure, I abstain from sex. It's been nothing for about two years, and suddenly I got a hard case or resistant gonorrhea and now then syphilis. Not to mentin the HIV, of course. All probably depending on my decision to stop topping and start bottoming in stead.

If you don't mind my asking, what was required to cure the gonorrhea? That's what scares me the most right now.

i used to get gonno regularly when i had a live-in BF, but only once since i got rid of him

[DragonSmoke]

Amazingly I have only caught one STD. Of course I did it right and got HIV.

I am completely paranoid about this, especially with reporting laws. how do you guys cope with that? do you ever worry that you'll get arrested for not disclosing status?

[bbjoca]

I don't mind your asking at all. What was required was a particularily harsh medicine, taken as an injection intramuscular. To be frank, I got the shot in my gluteus maximus. The drug was hard to administer for the nurse, who had to use an IV-needle to get it into me, since normal needles were too narrow to allow the "fluid" to be pressed in. I don't remember the name of the drug, unfortunately, but it was a rare type of penicillin they almost never use...

So far in the UK it's only case law, using the 1881(?) Offences against the person act. It's only been used in cases of non-disclosure so it seems that it's still legal to poz someone as long as he consents - but as we all know people sometimes change their mind after the event. For me, I either have HIV+ on my online profiles or at least a biohazard symbol and tend to make mention of HIV in the chatting up process: Him - "how you doing" Me "Great: just heard my CD4 went up again" I've got diabetes so I'm more than usually prone to thrush which is transmissable by simple touch. When I've got an outbreak I make friends with my right hand and a porn movie.

Never had one. Out almost 60 people That I've been with. Most of it was oral sex and all were random hookups.

You must be talking about the drug for Syphillis...My right ass~check remained very sore for almost 2 weeks after the injection.

I have been barebacking for over two years now; I have caught Gono and Chlamydia, I I guess that means I average one a year.

[BB4fking]

After several STIs about 20 years ago my (gay) doctor recommended I get test at the hospital STI clinic 3 times a year which I did for a number of years but dropped it back to twice a year when I was hardly ever getting infected. Although I was having casual sex I guess the condom use helped to avoid at least some. However once I started barebacking occasionally about 5 years ago , and more particularly in the last 4 years when I’ve been on PrEP when I’ve been barebacking full time, I’ve been getting slightly more infections but catching them quite quickly because of the mandatory STI tests every 3 months to maintain the free PrEP prescription. Actually I get tested slightly more frequently as I also get tested immediately on return from a sustained sex holiday and I’ve had one of those in Berlin and another in Bangkok in the last 3 months. Currently I’d reckon an STI twice a year. I won’t list what I’ve had over the years but it has been most of them (but not hepatitis or HIV). In my view these infections are a fact of life and to be expected and should not be a cause for embarrassment (or any perverse pleasure) but it is important for all sexually active people to get tested regularly at a frequency calibrated to their risk. Frequent testing by all means more fucking for all and less downtime with illness and sex-free recovery periods.

A timely post.  Just back from the clinic having been treated for what seems to be my annual infection- always happens in August for some reason.  Gonorrhoea this time.  No big deal- tested, diagnosed and treated all in the same day, just a single shot of antibiotics in the arse.

Seems a worthwhile price to pay for all the raw cock and loads I’ve taken since my last infection this time last year.  I must have had literally hundreds of men inside me since then, and in some very sleazy situations.  I get tested every 3 to 4 months and am always amazed when the results come back clear.  It makes me think that either STI’s are much less widespread than the anti-sex propagandists would like us to believe, or else I have just been very lucky.  Thoughts, anyone?

Yes, but it’s your decision to abstain or not. I was told to abstain for at least 3 months and didn’t last that long. Went back to fucking one month into treatment. Of course, you can past it on to any bottom or top.
