Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum

I finally fessed up at the GUM clinic and told them I was a swinger and so was asked if I wanted the Hep B jab, which I did. I was just wondering if there are any after effects, as my arm is a bit achy at the mo.

Have just had a weekly jab for last two weeks and due one final one. Had no problems. I think there may always been small side effects but better to have the jab than not to.

We both had a 3 jab course over 6 months, the worst we had was a dead arm feeling for a day and a half afterwards but that was only once, the rest of the jabs just ached for 3-4 hours.

Yes, that's what I'm getting, the dead arm. Doesn't help that they took the blood for the other tests from my other arm.

We had our third jab of the series a couple of weeks ago (another six months til the next!!).

I had no adverse reactions but it knocked Fox for six, with major stomach pains.

If you look on the NHS website it says 1 in 100 may suffer headaches - and 1 in 10,000 may suffer any one of a long list of possible side effects. Including the ever so descriptive 'generally feeling unwell'!

Was told by the nurse at Chams that I could have the Hep B jab but didn't realise that it came as a course of multiple jabs.

Having a think about this, may even ask the nurse at GP surgery about it before making decision, although I know I probably should have it, even though we don't swing very often.

Hep A & B is free from your local GUM clinic & is a must if you are having sex with multiple partners, the clinic will explain anything you need to know but it is well worth getting guys.

If it's a requirement for your work then it should be provided through your employer via an occupational health service.

I did have the vaccine when I was in the forces so should have been covered but upon a check they said it wasn't enough to cover me hence having it again

I'm what they call a non responder. I work in the health setting so it's a must for me, I had my last course (that didn't respond) in September so have to wait a full year to have another increased dosage that they have suggested. Just the way each individual body works!

I've been for 3 full courses (which the last one was an accelerated one!) so it's all about waiting, and trying again!

Well done!

Hep B is a very serious disease and well worth getting vaccinated. In my country it is part of the national vaccination programme which means all newborns get it. My husband and I as well as our 3 kids are vaccinated and did not suffer any side effects.

Having bumped into you two on many occasions , I can' help but wonder whether the jab may have a psychological effect ?

On a more serious note , other than a few days of the dead arm ... no side effects here

One of the only perks of working for nhs is getting flu jabs and any others needed for free. Most people have a little pain in the injection site for a couple of days but that's it, well done for fessing up. My work colleagues still don't know that I swing.

It's a course of 3 for immunity against hepatitis B, if you have multiple partners or are a gay man or have sex with bisexual men they should offer it to you, after the course you will have a blood test to see what your titre levels are, if ok, no more needed, if low then a booster will be required. Hope this helps. x

While I'm here with my nurses head on, does everyone know about PEP? Aimed more at gay men but also available for those who think they may have been exposed to HIV.

Doesn't matter who you work for, if its required for the job and your safety then the employer should provide it. If I were you I'd be looking for reimbursement.

Essex.

HEP A, B and C are easily transferable though any bodily fluid. Kissing, coughing, sneezing and spitting etc... Unlike HIV, HEP can survive outside the human body. If a spot of blood with HIV in it lands on the floor, the HIV will die fairly quickly. HEP on the other hand could still infect a person even if it has dried and then became air bourne as dust... This was what I was told on a 1st aid at work course about 15 years ago...

I think that everyone should get it regardless of swinger or not. Hep B is on the increase massively and has no sypmtoms and is a killer eventually...

I had a first aid refresher this week and they talked about cross infection with hep B and how its passed on, it scared the shit out of me to think all our activities includes many ways hep B is transmitted, how its one of the fastest spreeding infections today and how it can be in our system months before we know.

Im now thinking we both get the jab, he said all first aiders should have the jab so ill use that to save our blushes or am i over reacting

Have known a few people get it done in different health authorities and it's been done in different ways - three jabs or two. I had mine over three jabs, two one week apart then 4 weeks til the last. After a month they test your levels to see if you've got the immunity. MMine hadn't. Grr.

If you are in the sex industry or having sex with multiple people (swinging) you can get your jabs for free, also condoms, lube, gloves, femidoms etc.

Any responsible adult meeting various partners should get tested every months at least, even if you use condoms it don't protect you against oral infections which are rare but do happen now & again.

Side effects are minimal but the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

So, in theory, if someone's sweat lands in your eye it can spread hep b.

Thats right its the easiest way to spread infections though your eyes, thats why spunk in your eyes is dangerous as not only does it sting like fuck its a direct route to your blood stream...wear glasses if doing bukkakes lol.
