garsento Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 I have just come from the Hassle Free Clinic, after a buddy let me know he had been diagnosed with LGV chlamydia. I have no symptoms, but still I have the same treatment: three weeks of pills, one week to wait, all part of a month of celibacy. How often have you guys encountered this? PrEP notwithstanding, serious STDs may easily alter my behaviour. Perhaps even a push towards monogamy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Read1 Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 I had LGV once before. Check out my earlier post on it. When I get treatment for regular clamydia, I automatically get tested for LGV too. LGV is clamydia’s wicked stepsister. Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrEP notwithstanding, serious STDs may easily alter my behaviour. Perhaps even a push towards monogamy? Took me a while to get it diagnosed and by then it had flared up and was deeply unpleasant. Early treatment is good, so you should be fine. It’s apparently usually quite rare but I’ve been told rates are spiking, especially in the U.S. (where I picked it up). Ultimately it’s up to your own risk tolerance : as barebacking becomes more popular, the risks equally increase. Depends how often you’re willing to catch something and the possibility of it being something difficult to treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garsento Posted September 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 I should note that my partner thinks he picked it up in Berlin. I have not been diagnosed and lack symptoms, so ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srider Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 The recommendation is to treat LGV contacts for LGV. Hassle Free Clinic will likely receive the test results for chlamydia and the LGV strain shortly. You can follow up with them. Call and ask to speak with the Public Health Nurse and they can advise you whether you need to finish the antibiotics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aeropic333 Posted May 2, 2020 Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 I have had it. I got it from a regular partner who picked it up I'm Scotland on a buniess trip. Its nasty, it started with diarrhoea which is bad as I have constipated guts owing to medication. Having both at the same time was bad and I ended with piles. The LGV caused me to bleed on and off and I had clear mucous coming out my backside.. It was confirmed on a regular STD testing I have every 3 months as I am on PrEP. I was told that I was the 1st person they had seen with it in 18months I that clinic. My friend also got treated. I started having sex when I was 14 and am now in my mid 50s and it is the worst STD i have ever had 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I would very much like to do without this STD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Had it twice in the past. Really not fun. Harder to get it checked here in the Uk as the lab test have to be sent far away from were I live to check that specific sti. Minimum three weeks to have it confirmed by the lab as it will be picked up by regular chlamydia check up too, but will need a longer treatment (3 weeks). Keep you out of action for a while 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 I had it once, picked up in regular screening. I had no symptoms or reactions, just had to wait ages for tests, treatment and confirmation test before I could fuck again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
