Sexually Transmitted Disease (std) Talk

[Acid Burn]

I know people will tell me to get tested (at this point, I don't have a choice) but fear and anxiety broke me for the past months and just wanted to share this and get this out of my chest.

You have the solution to your fear and anxiety but aren’t willing to do it. Get tested already.

 

[Durg50]

Waw…

Is it me or this thread is full of non sense and useless scaremongering talks mostly from noobs or obviously misinformed people?
If you guys are freaking out for the so few things you did…
It’s maybe time to stop P4P and start another activity.

There is / was some good info about where to get tested and other useful resources. Its not all inexperienced people freaking out.
a few years back i nama’d a lady in a pretty sketchy place, i was freaking out and it wasnt really something i could talk about with my friends, family or coworkers. The community here was actually pretty cool about it, shared their own anecdotes, gave advice etc.

I would need to take up a STD test because I incidentally happened to engaged raw vaginal sex recently (early in this December), of course, I did clean myself with safety maneuvers. But I do not know where to start taking the test as a beginner. Hopefully, this may be a pinned thread or a highlight for those who are just newcomers like me to any country around the world.

So I write this question format in this thread as a guy.

For those who are new and just getting started to have a 1st STD test, and/or engaging in a very safe sex equipped with condom, which test should take? Should I or someone take HIV test for checking STD? Or which STD test/s do you recommend to take?

If a man like me had sex a woman through penetrating her vagina in raw, which test/s should men take?

If the man had sex the person (either female or transsexual) through penetrating her anus in raw, which test/s should men take?

If the man had received oral sex from the woman, and/or had did a cunnilingus action/licking on her pussy, should we take the STD test? And if yes, which test/s should men take?

Guide me if I'm expecting something wrong: If I engage raw sex, and then take maybe 1 or 2 tests, how much should I expect to pay? Wouldn't be that much as 45,000 yen + or higher if the doctor may say I have a symptom/s, isn't it?
What if the doctor may say I don't have symptoms even I say my penis hole is painful, would this cost the 100% of these testing as much as 100,000 yen + or higher, isn't it?

I will wait to hear the clear answers. So thank you for helping in advance.

I'm not suggesting that going raw is a good idea--it most definitely is NOT--but I wouldn't suggest you work yourself into a frenzy just yet while you wait for your results. I have friends who regularly visit the P.I. and one of them never, and I mean NEVER, uses a condom with the bar girls. He's probably batting upwards of three digits as far as girls bought and hasn't picked up anything yet. Another friend, however, goes on that same trip, buys twice the number of girls and always uses a condom--however, he loves his BBBJs and has caught the clap at least twice.

As it was always explained to me as a young man, it is quite difficult for a male to contract HIV through unprotected vaginal sex, even moreso if he's circumcised (that goes for any STD). Penetrative, unprotected anal sex is far riskier, and even then it's the recipient of cock in that situation that bears the brunt of the risk. So unless you've been taking it up the ass raw, there's little reason to panic right now.

As an example of this, and I don't know what the situation is in Japan as I never got tested while living there, most free community clinics stateside will not test you for HIV unless you confirm that you engage in anal sex. I know because years ago I had a condom break with this awful Chinese woman and naturally my paranoia got the better of me. The nurse at the clinic explained that since it was standard vaginal sex, broken condom notwithstanding, I was at such low risk of contracting HIV that they wouldn't conduct the HIV test (because it's expensive). I would have to spring for a private clinic if that's what I wanted. I the end, when I came back negative for everything, I just shrugged it off and got on with life. I suggest you try to do the same for the time being.

Yes, i have noted your information.
I guess I choose for suitable test/s for vaginal raw sex other than HIV test.

My 1st impression on HIV for STD testing is that this is tested for people from 13 year old boy to 65 year old elder, isn't it?
Though, you mentioned it's bit expensive, then i should look for test/s that could favor for money value.

As for this information that reflects to me, i say having a raw sex is pleasurable, but it's a double-edge sword in risking health such as painful urination after sex; I should never do it again, and stick to safe sex.

This is exactly why I shared my story.
I know there is a low chance I contracted HIV and the only thing I can do is to get tested. But yes, I'm freaking out and this is why I shared this story.
I will get tested. But I don't get why people being as*h*les about sharing these.

 

[MikeH]

The prudent thing is of course to get tested. The reason why you didn't get the replies you wanted might be that your story sounded pretty weird or you left something out.

I know a huge number of medical professionals from nurses to doctors to scientists and I have never heard any of them proposing someone who shows up with just a fever that it might be HIV.

Reading my story again, it sounds weird for sure.
I had some worries for the past few days and I just wanted to get it out of my chest and hear any other potential anecdotes here.
You're totally right though, I'll get tested for sure.

Hi TAG people,

More than 2 years ago, I had a serious fever (almost popping 40°) after a trip in the Philippines. Almost 40° fever, so I was down for at least 3 days. I went to the hospital and they didn't find an explanation to the fever. Malaria and other turned out to be negative. I was with my then girlfiend (now wife) and they asked to talk with me privately.

They told me about HIV and I became livid just by this word. Then they calmed me down and told me if I did recent tests as it could be a possibility HIV could be causing this. I was absolutely terrified and for a reason I cannot fathom I refused the test. (absolutely stupid for sure)

I remember that I had an emotional shock at work and the fever kicked in the very same day. Which was cured with antibiotics in 2 days. I'm not even sure my trip to the Philippines is the cause, but I do remember being eaten by moskitoes. (didn't have any P4P there whatsoever)
Or maybe was I the first COVID case?

It's been more than 2 years and I'm still thinking, sometimes worried to death about it. Still avoiding sex with my wife out of fear.
I know the test is the only way out to find out.

As for my sexual past, I did have unprotected sex with past girlfriends but mostly covered. As for P4P, I always used condoms. (even with blowjobs)

Thinking back, I don't think I took huge risks but still, one unprotected intercouse could be enough to contract it.

I know people will tell me to get tested (at this point, I don't have a choice) but fear and anxiety broke me for the past months and just wanted to share this and get this out of my chest.

You should get a test done.
This place offer a free test every day.

As a side note, I used to get tested twice a year, just for my peace of mind, at a different location in Shinjuku. Did they moved to this new location recently?

Funny thing is this place is right opposite a love hotel that I usually go to for MMF/MMFF in Shinjuku, and I have never noticed it.

The Shukan Gendai published two articles this week.

Apparently, at least three (3) Japanese women working at a JK-themed delivery health in Ikebukuro were found to have tested positive for HIV.
However, according to the Shukan Gendai, there are both more infected persons and they may have been purposely infected by 2 or more HIV+ Chinese graduate students in Japan who felt it would be their way of "getting even". According to the article(s), the Chinese men purposely selected women whom they felt would be popular with customers (so that they'd infect more customers ) and made a point of requesting their services several times.

Sure - even Japanese on bulletin boards are saying " it's a tabloid...how can you believe them?" but in Japan, "tabloids aren't like tabloids back home - and their sources and quality of information - esp on politics - is pretty solid. However, if you think it's a nothing burger, you're absolutely welcome to it. No intention of Chicken Littling it...

This links to two articles. The first is archived machine-translated links and the second is a cut and paste of machine-translated text. They are two different articles. There's a justpasteit link on the attached PDF (was unsure if such URLs were allowed or not, so I left it out --- if the admin likes, you can post it at the end of this post).

One of the most fucked up, selfish things I read all week. Spreading disease on purpose is also a crime so I hope their punishment will be severe whether it's in China or Japan. Not just any disease but incurable disease.
Poor girls are already worried if they ever might find anyone who's willing to marry someone who's HIV-infected. Even if they take medication that can suppress the disease, it's a dealbreaker for many people. Shit makes my blood boil.

 

[Cinnabums]

All over Twitter it is and further hate against Chinese. Its a fucking sick story but one can't help wondering if it's true, hope not!

 

[newbie]

I don't know much about the Shukan Gendai, but this just sounds like bullshit to me. Hopefully it is.

 

[Sudsy]

I don't know much about the Shukan Gendai,

The fact that they're running a speculative piece like this should tell you everything you need to know.

There's no proof that the women exist, there's no proof that the accused HIV positive people exist, and there's no proof they were Chinese.

Article is basically a double-smear propaganda piece aimed at adult entertainment (don't go to fuzoku, it's dangerous!) and at China (look what those nasty sankokujin did!).

I think the "Chinese man pays 50,000 yen for [raw] FS" is the real bs meter detection here.

「見た目はおとなしいのにベッドでは乱暴で、手荒な感じでした。しばらくすると、彼が『挿れたい』と言うので、店に内緒にして、ゴム(コンドーム)付きなら3万円、生だったら5万円と言いました」

　少々、釣り上げすぎたかな、と考えていると、彼は裸のまま、ソファに置いてあったカバンから5万円を取り出し、彼女に手渡した。

In addition, could be be a psyop to dominate the everyday J lady. It deters them from entertaining the idea of dating/marrying foreigners out of health concerns, and what others in society will say about them. Just in time for the increase in travels to 50k a day.

 

[Tabanico]

Presumably if it is true, if it is a normal shop they will have some sort of contact info for the customers to report them to the police...

 

[Durg50]

Its not true. None of it is true. Its made up. But some people will believe it because they want to hate chinese people, or men, or women, or whatever, and this rag knows that so it publishes the story. This is why western society is regressing to nationalism and far right political parties are gaining traction all over the world.

Or perhaps im just jealous that some random tourists got NFS with some hot JK chicks for 50k.

 

[CharlieSimms]

None of us here will ever be able to determine whether the referenced story actually happened or not. We can debate and overlay our personal biases and political views over the supposed intents of the news service and/or the deemed perpetrators depending where our biases happen to lean. Doesn’t mean anything. Geesh, has TAG really regressed to the level of the Japan Today comments section?

It's a long shot, but does anyone have any idea what this could be?

I've had mild to moderate UTI symptoms for two months. They've gotten better at times but I don't think they've ever gone away. I've seen several urologists in Japan and my home country. Everyone checks my urine, says I'm clean then either tells me I'm healthy or gives me some random antibiotic that doesn't work.

My symptoms are:
Weird/mild pain in my lower abdomen
Joint/muscle aches
Kidney pain (not often nor severe)
Anxiety, cognitive issues, feeling "out of it"
Fatigue
Testicle/genital pain
Severe ED, even Viagra doesn't do anything, which has never happened before. My penis feels shriveled up and tender, as if I've been masturbating non-stop for days
Mild fever

I've never had any discharge, I may have experienced pain while urinating, but it could have just been in my head. I also have a reddish/purplish spot/area that appeared when all of this started, but its hard to see. It only hurts when I masturbate and hasn't changed since it appeared. I've been told its nothing.

I've been tested for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia multiple times, and I've taken 5 different antibiotics. I asked my current urologist about ureaplasma and mycoplasma, he didn't know what they were and wouldn't test me for them. I'm trying to find a new doctor but everyone is booked months out, so I'm posting here. I definitely miss Japan where I didn't even have to make an appointment!

Have you done any cancer screenings before? Even if you’re young, it would be beneficial to check your prostate via a PSA test.

I would also go for a digital rectal exam to have that prostate physically checked too.
