Sexually Transmitted Disease (std) Talk

Your best bet is to find a doctor who has specifically marketed themselves to the ex-pat community. They're more Western in their approach to medicine.

It's far away from Tokyo but I suggest Bluff Clinic in Motomachi, Yokohama. Doctor is fluent in English and doesn't half-ass anti-biotics. He comes across as very cold though, but he's just quiet. You can even place an appointment by online form.
 
I can understand the frustration with healthcare here though generally Japan is quite solidish

I don't want to get my partner sick so I am constantly getting testing. It does seem like Japan lacks the most up to date pcr testing for trich and blood tests can't distinguish between the two different type of herpes.

Has anyone had issues with trich? It seems like a lot of the symptoms that people describe can be possibly due to trich.

Has anyone had a case where trich was super dormant for more than 6 months before symptoms?

Do mongers usually undergo prophylactic testing after receiving a BBBJ in Japan, even where there are no symptoms? (my guess- definitely no)

Also if one is tested positive for an STD, obviously it's common courtesy to contact all sexual partners (including SWs) that may have been exposed (that's what I'd do anyway)... But would SWs that test positive (or their agency) normally contact all the clients they potentially exposed?
(My guess- depends on the girl. I know a shop probably won't advertise a girl had an STD)

Are my guesses correct?

Apologies in advance if these have been answered elsewhere and/or are silly questions.

I'd say, test every 3 months if you do unprotected oral (semi) regulary. If its a one time thing test afterwards for the piece of mind. If its only a vacation thing, test after the vacation.
Diseases dont always show symtoms and walking around with a disease for a long time is damaging.

It would be a good idea to discretely contact the girl or agency, definitely.

In case of girls and agencies, there is prejudice sadly and even if a girl gets cured, some guys may not see her again if they knew she had a disease before. So yeah, i think they just pull their girls from the roster temporarily and dont say why. And they usually dont try to personally contact former clients because many guys would be upset by getting contacted by an agency for whatever reason.

Its all about taboo, sadly.
 
Hey, guys, I decided to reappear after a long time underground. I wasn't real active on here anyway, so I'm sure I wasn't missed.

You can probably guess that the reason why is not a happy one. Plus, given where I'm posting, you can probably also guess it's a bit of a scary one, too. The plus side of it is that I didn't find out I'm HIV positive or anything like that. I probably would have never showed up again if that happened.

The negative, on the other hand, is that I got a nasty surprise in late May. After getting home from my protracted vacation-slash-horror-film-experience, I discovered that I had an infestation of pubic lice, and a full-on one at that. The whole time I was trapped in Tokyo, I'd been suffering from an itch, and I'd noticed suspicious patches (I figured out later that I'd also been pulling off nits, but I didn't know what they were at the time). I just didn't put two and two together until after I got home and had a big freak-out. See, I live with my parents, and (out of courtesy for their safety) I had to come clean to my mum about it, which was mortifying. I rushed out and treated myself with an off-the-shelf treatment, of course. For nearly a month and a half, I thought it had worked, but it turned out that I was mistaken!

Right now, it's been three months from the last time I treated (when I couldn't find anything despite combing front-to-back, back-to-front, and every which way and in every crevice). I haven't seen anything, but I'll admit that I get twitchy at every single little itch I have now. I've been compulsively checking my pubes to make sure I don't spot another one of the bastards for a while. Frankly, I'm still scared shitless that I may look down one day and the bastards will be right back. It's probably psychosomatic at this point, but I feel like you can't be too careful.

Anyway, the point is that I felt really ashamed and scared, so I vanished from here. So why did I come back? Because a guilty conscience spurred me into coming back to warn you guys. Somehow I doubt that any of you have been with the same girls that I was in that time, but you'd probably know now if you had. I don't know if I passed any bugs around, and I sincerely hope that I didn't because that would make me a terrible person. It's been too long for me to have decent recall of all that happened, so I won't be making any trip reports; please check my intro thread for a general list of who I saw if you have any doubts. (Actually, I'll come clean and say that I left a single disastrous visit to a Korean MP (top floor of that building near the station) in Okachimachi off out of embarrassment. Some part of me wonders if that isn't where I picked them up.)

I'm really sorry I didn't come back and say something, but I was and still am scared.

I'm sorry for you. Its really not a dangerous disease but the parents thing must have been horrifying, and those bastards can be hard to get rid off, appearantly.

I'm aware that its not a sufficient solution to treat them, but if you have already used the shampoo and stuff and you're just paranoid they'll come back, why not keep yourself cleanly shaved for a while? I heard that in some countries, pubic lice are nearly extinct because so many people shave. They should follow through in Japan.

Yeah, I've meant to get shaved again for that very reason. A good enough reason to get started with the upkeep again.

Very helpful thank you! Although I reckon most guys wouldn't do this, it seems very sensible, even if only for the peace-of-mind.

(I also heard of an escort giving discounts to guys who have evidence of recent clean test results)

The taboo thing is just sad. Not wanting to see a girl after she's cured is like not wanting to kiss a girl just because she had tonsillitis as a child! Like she's broken goods or something.

I think most guys though would really appreciate being contacted about potential exposure to disease! It's not like an unsolicited ad or anything. As you said, walking around with a disease is damaging and infected guys might return to the same shop or spread it elsewhere...

Maybe Off-topic... But Maybe this should even be law - similar to how food manufacturers have to give public notices to customers when some batches may have been contaminated with disease. Not wanting to contact guys (if contact details are known) because of potential financial impact is very selfish IMO. :(

In addition to the shampoo, you also have to wash all bedding, towels, and underwear in HOT water, all it takes is one of them to survive on a bedsheet or towel - and they can survive a cold wash cycle.

Wouldnt be surprised, i went there once and it was a bit grim. Very humid inside with all the bath/shower stuff amd nothing ever really gets dry, and its quite dark so im not sure how clean the place was. Sorry to hear about your experience.

I noticed that Biaxin (generic name Clarithromycin) is used often for various infections in Japan, including chamydia.

Almost no research has been done on it for chamydia in the US and you can't find much information about it treating chamydia online.

I don't have an infection, but just wanted to share this on here.
 
Hi guys. Reading the forums, it’s clear that At least for standard protocol, it CFS in Japan. But for Bj, a lot seem to offer BBBJ. Granted the ladies are tested, but isn’t that test valid only until the next guy she goes with? I mean between the time she gets tested and meeting you, it’s possible that she got infected, right?

I admit that when there are now already 24 pages in this thread it might be a bit much to get through, but if you read it all you will find also your question is already discussed there.

Yes of course she can get infected by the next guy. Testing is not preventing, it just gives you better chances she doesn't have anything to spread to you. Even if she gets infected most STDs cannot be spread immediately forward but need a incubation period.

The only real answer to you is to refrain from activities and risks you don't feel safe and get tested regularly yourself.

This was brought to my attention by a customer yesterday. Interesting article if you feel like having a read. Apparently syphilis is on the rise in various parts of Japan. So have fun, "and let`s be careful out there".

Maybe it was mentioned in this thread before but here we go:

Another infection/disease that can be transmitted but technically isn't an STD you should be aware of is Heliobacter Pylori.

It can be transmitted by fecal-oral contact (for all you ass lovers out there have fun) but it is also assumed that oral-oral is a source.
There is also a study that 70% of men over 40 in Japan are infected. Combine that with the ass licking love many providers have here with the demography of the customers (many providers have customers over 40).
So we have to assume that many if not most providers are infected with it and thus can pass it on to you.

If you have H.Pylori you have a high risk (=almost certainly) of getting gastritis. If the infection isn't treated there is a risk for cancer and ulcers too...

I recently was infected by it but of course I can't be sure if it was from a girl or maybe because I drank some tap water once (which can also be a source but usually only in unsanitary areas). I'm telling you it's not fun. My gastritis lasted for 3 weeks and curing the Pylori infection will need a week of anti-biotics. NHI only pays for it if you do a gastroscopy before that and you have to wait 4 weeks for an appointment.

I'm done with them bitches in Japan... maybe.
 
Not sure where this belongs but i'm kind of freaking out about potentially having something so here I go...

I'm living way the hell up in Aomori and called for a girl from a deriheru for the 2nd time. I'll skip (most of) the messy details, but at one point my condom slipped off inside her. I noticed after like 10 seconds maybe. This kind of freaked me out but as soon as I pulled out, I noticed the condom had streaks of blood on it (!)

Furthermore her reaction was just "welp, make sure you don't finish inside me!" and she grabbed my uncovered dick and started trying to put it back inside(!!). I stopped her before it went back in but like...what the fuck? I tried asking her if she'd been tested recently but she wouldn't really answer. She just asked if I accidentally came inside (which I didn't) and if I had any stds (which I don't) then said "then, it's no problem. I'm clean"

I'm admittedly pretty inexperienced but...should I be freaking out about this as much as I am?
Also if anyone has any tips on std testing I'm all ears. Again, I'm pretty inexperienced, but most of the advice seems to be aimed at the Tokyo, which I am unfortunately nowhere near. I'm on NHI if it matters.

Also....that nice little syphilis map a few posts ago isn't really helping...

Thats probably just period blood and you have been in for 10 seconds.
I wouldn't worry too much about having an STD but the best thing you can do is testing testing testing!

I'm with Alice on this...no point worrying about something that's already happened. Everything will probably turn out ok.
Just wondering what type of condom you used? Was it too small (didn't roll all the way down)?... or too large?

That's good to hear. Thank you. I guess I'll shoot to get tested in a month then again in 3 months. The wait's going to be a pain, but oh well. I guess that kind of comes with the territory for this hobby.

Thanks, I certainly hope so. I was using a Skyn Large, didn't roll all the way down. Probably the only time in my life I wished my penis was smaller.

:eek: Do we have a new TAG champion here?!

with some smaller size condoms, i've also noticed having to stop and roll them back down, especially during doggie. shows the importance of getting the size right!

Not even close, even Durex Comfort is longer. :p:cool:
Yeah, I'm a good bit above average but not massive or anything. :p

I definitely know what you mean though. It doesn't help that most "larger" condoms really just mean "large around the head and still average size around the base" which...is not usually how it works. It's like they're basically designed to roll up on you.

Morning, fellow TAG(s),

At the beginning of this month, I went to Dolce and had a great section there. I performed safe sex (well, covered penetration but BBBJ and DATY). Problem: After 2 weeks, some red marks appeared around the corona of glans penis without any itchy or pain, then they (almost) disappeared. This morning, there was some discharge from my penis (like a running nose). I'm confused and will go for checking ASAP after work.

Question: Did I really catch sth, and what should it be?

Thanks in advance

That's a UTI of some sort. If it's milky, most likely gonorrhoea, if it's relatively clear, most likely chlamydia. Make sure to let the shop know, and which girl you were with.
