"Are you saying you have all of the above, and want advice on treatment ?" I've had the above and believe it or not, i'm a figure of good heath... Recovered well! I just get annoyed when people say it's Russian roulette but it's not as life threatening as they think... We are not in Africa or Thailand... | |||

"Many years ago I was given an infection by my then wife. I had no idea she had been doing anything. Never had anything from swinging over the 30 years since." I knew a woman whose husband had an entire second family that she knew nothing about. He travelled a lot for work so she didn't put two and two together. She found out when she got herpes from him. Tore their marriage apart... 2 children... interesting what you can find out from an STI. | |||

"chose your partner's better and go give blood they test you for everything free three times a year with out stigma and you do a good thing all ways, if you got anything you get treatment they will give you details to be treated if you clear you give blood and save lives, simple respect others" Jesus titty Christ! Just go to the GUM clinic and stop putting people's lives at risk! | |||

"It's an important topic, and one that should be discussed openly. Thousands of people die from 'flu. No-one died from herpes last year and yet it carries a stigma." A stigma? Is that what gives it that funny taste? | |||

"I was wondering, there might be a place here for a weekly sexual health Q&A by sexual health workers. Maybe ?" Damn good idea, the level of ignorance displayed on this site at times is astonishing and rather scary. I've never had anything either and want to keep it that way. | |||

"As most people on here are scared of catching one, I'm trying to find some sort of statistics on the amount of people who have had one and whether it was easy to correct with medication... So, I'm holding my hands up to having chlamydia, warts and herpes.... And still living... Hopefully others will come forward and not get judged!!" This means you still have herpes as it doesn't go away .... | |||

"chose your partner's better and go give blood they test you for everything free three times a year with out stigma and you do a good thing all ways, if you got anything you get treatment they will give you details to be treated if you clear you give blood and save lives, simple respect others" That's about as logical as saying "go bareback a stranger and if they don't get sick after then you haven't got anything" | |||

YOU ARE PUTTING LIVRS AT RISK !! | |||

Yes to a weekly sexual health information thread. Do not follow this advice above! Go to the GUM clinic. | |||

You have had all of the above infections or you still have all of the above infections ? And your asking whether or not there easy to correct with medications ! The mind boggles. | |||

Just go to the GUM clinic and stop putting people's lives at risk!" Agreed my ex of ten years put me at risk when he knew someone he was barebacking was at risk of chlamydia which I hate him with a passion for - even more for the fact he didn't tell me he was even fucking others! You never truly know anything so play safe or get tested - or better still do both! | |||

So looks like I'm correct, swingers tend to make out the chances of catching an STI are higher than they actually are!! Again i'll reiterate, even if you was to get a dose, they are easily treated..." Then why are you asking in the original post whether or not these infections are easily treated . And if you have all three of the said mentioned infections why havnt you had them treated, and should you be looking to meet anyone before getting yourself cleared up . | |||

"I thought herpes never truly went away ?" It doesn't - and statistically 70 of all sexually active adults have it whether it's inactive or active - or whether they're 'shredders' (the many people who pass it on without showing symptoms themselves!) or not! So pointless getting snobby about std's - most of us have one right now! Also - many std's - if picked up in time - are far less dangerous than common diseases like flu - they just carry a much greater stigma! | |||

"Cards on the table, the worst thing I ever had 'down there' was crabs 35 years ago!! Little fuckers, had to completely shave!! " That's what's so good about the trend for very well trimmed or hairless bits! If some get their way (Howard - I'm pointing at you! ) and most of us grow our public hairs back - then there'll be an upsurge in crabs! Simple! X | |||

" I tested positive for the HPV virus & from what I was told it isn't necessarily an STI, Once a woman is sexually active, this also can become active if a carrier. They are now vaccinating young girls of an age where they, (in therory), are not sexually active. My eldest had hers about a year ago. | |||

"My ex was fucking anything and everything behind my back when I had cancer he caught something. Never did find out what it was and I was tested for everything and given a broad range anti biotic to be on the safe side. However my tests came back clear. One of the many reasons he's an ex." I wonder if he came here and admitted he was attached but said "my wife doesn't want sex anymore but I still love her. Don't judge me" | |||

They could just test my blood for everything and I wouldn't need the swabs? | |||

" How many people as teenagers had coldsores on their mouths, I know I had a bout of them for about 18 months as a teen and none since! Yet I still see people my age now with coldsores on their mouths! I never look at them and think they must be dirty or not careful with themselves. The very fact if you had coldsores at some point on your mouth means you have the herpes virus in your system. Mine clearly has been dormant ever since others are not so lucky. In my head there is no difference, herpes on the mouth or down below, it's just a coldsore and can be treated . Same with warts, I see people with warts on their hands, I don't look and think Eugh!! Of course no one wants to get infections, and we are all as careful as we can be, I guess my point is, it's not the end of the world if you do, just get yourself checked regularly | |||

You're not factoring in how many of the above are actually being honest (not that I'm outright calling everyone a liar but you get my point) Worst I've had is thrush (which though can be transferred sexually it isn't an STI) I only ever had it in my pregnancies the hormonal imbalance threw off my yeast levels and it would constantly flare up every few weeks | |||
