30%? u mean locally? any local statistic to support?

OIOIO · #**317** 16-11-2010, 10:41 AM

no statistic to support but it is strongly believed that it's a common STD in Singapore. As it is not life-threatening to adults...it is received with little attentions and concerns. Health care providers do not conduct Herpes Test unless you ask them to. It is only dangerous to babies..but that's another story...Most important.. always wash your hands after doing your business...

There are regional and gender variations. Here's what wiki says :

There is no reason why Singapore should have lower infection rates as the majority of foreign sex workers are from the countries mentioned.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epidemi...th_E ast_Asia

HSV-2 seroprevalence in developing Asian countries is comparable (10-30%) to that observed in North America and Northern Europe.[20] However, estimates of HSV-2 infectivity in Thailand are higher than observed in other Eastern Asian countries; total HSV-2 seroprevalence is approximately 37% in this country.[4] HSV-2 seroprevalence is low in women in the Philippines (9%), although commencing activity while young is associated with an increase risk of acquiring HSV-2 infection; woman starting sexual activity by the time they reach 17 are seven times more likely to be HSV-2 seropositive than those starting sexual activity when over 21.[23] In South Korea, incidence of HSV-2 infection in those under the age of 20 is low, only 2.7% in men and 3.0% in women.[5] Seroprevalence levels increase in older South Koreans however, such that the population over 20 that has antibodies against HSV-2 is 21.7% of men and 28% of women.[5]

these are extrapolated statistics
we can never get a clear answer unless we test everyone for HSV
but these stats are as good estimates as we can have
think about it:
you walking down Orchard Road every 3rd person you see has GH
so kinda pointless to ask about fishtank and FL

Got a pack of viagra and cialis from him too and it do work wonder

Where can buy zovirax? How much per tube???

OIOIO · #**321** 21-12-2010, 11:18 PM

you can get the small tube which is 5mg at Guardian or Watson. Just go to the pharmacy and ask for it. They can only sell you the 5mg tube. If you wanted the 10mg, you got to get a doctor's authorized letter to purchase. Not sure how much is 5mg but
for 10mg, it's around 90 Dollars.

If you pass thru Bangkok, go to Boots, its a UK chain of pharmacies like Guardian. Zovirax 7gm tube - can't remember price but cheap. Can even legally buy over the counter, Azithromycin and Valtrex. Just don't self diagnose, go for repeat meds ok. Quite sure not fakes as its from Boots. Getting repeats from doc here quite expensive and troublesome. If any bro wants L-Lysine and happens to be in Aust, go to Safeway supermarket, 100 tabs of 500mg only A$10+ per bottle.

OIOIO · #**323** 03-01-2011, 11:39 AM

I had tried L-Lysine for 3 months...and it's not working for me...not sure why but I think it's my immune system...

I'm a depressed, puzzled and regretted man.

Hi bros, finally i decided to write a reply to share my experience on GH.
It all started few years back, had a number flings and chiong FL frm sammyboy too. Life was shiok!

But my nightmare is coming. 2 yrs back my 1st blister on my foreskin "Ouch". Didn't know much tt time just ignore n thot it was heaty cuz it looks like pimples to me. For the 1st yr, it does not happen tt often untill lately its more often. I can say not really or fully recover the next new outbreak comes! finally i felt tt things aren't right.i must have some problem in me, could be HIV, AIDS,STD watever..

Went to see a clinic n got the doctor to check. suspected Syphilis. took a blood test. few days lata, the Dr called n say its negetive. PHEW~ Dr saying it might becuz my cleaniness habits got to be better. As i have a problem from young i could not retract my foreskin completely,so i couldnt have a good clean all over the back of the head.

Few months lata,outbreak came again,i ignore as i really feel so uncomfortable letting a doctor to trying to retract ur foreskin to see the uclers. eventually it heals itself after few weeks. But now, im having the outbreak again. Went to visited another clinic n suspected Herpes. (-_-") So i told e doc i had blood test b4 on Syphilis n its negative. To be safe n this have been troubling me for years! i decided to have a FULL blood test. In 5 days time i gona get an ans. HAIZ!!

Decided to have this confirm is cause im settling down with my gf. Palloting for HDB flats n wanting to start a family. Really dunoe how! as she knows i did went for the Syphilis check. She willing to go thru this w me. But deep down my heart i still felt gulity as i might pass any diease to her or our future children. So this time i didn't wanna get her worry n went to have a Full blood test again yday. I really regreted on all my doing in the past. So bros out there, putting on cap doesn't really keeps u 100% safe.

Here comes my question :

1) I was thinking should i go for a Circumcision so i could clean it properly. To reduce the risk of the next outbreak? and oso solve the problem of me unable to retract fully? Should i go for it??

2) I do have white fluid forming in between the head n the foreskin. Why is this??? as i read the previous post none of u all tok about this white fluid.

Circumcision wont help you with your herpes problem..
but you should still go for it..
esp if you have tight foreskin problem

busyworks · #**326** 24-01-2011, 08:14 PM

okay! but im just thinking of will there be a higher risk or anything to go for the operation? as i might have herpes in me?

OIOIO · #**327** 27-01-2011, 02:29 PM

if you have blisters anywhere in the groin area...that will burst and eventually become uclers which heal up in around 10 days, then you have a high chance that you might have genital herpes. Have a talk with your gf and go for a blood test. Both my wife and myself have it and it doesn't really bother us.

busyworks · #**328** 29-01-2011, 01:37 PM

thanks OIOIO,

my full blood test report is out, everything is normal..!! im so glad! but what puzzles me is den what m i having? at times these blisters n uclers do come back. wonder could it be cause i can retract fully always n due to cleaniness tt have a infection that leads to these uclers.

gona visit the doctor on monday to get the report n consult the doctor again.

OIOIO · #**329** 01-02-2011, 10:10 AM

check with the doctor whether he had included Herpes tests. Normally Herpes tests are not included unless you requested it. Hope I am wrong and you are not infected. Happy New Year to you and the rest of the bros here.

kelisa · #**330** 06-02-2011, 12:42 AM

Any bro can pm me any clinic that I can go for check up? As I notice I have red blister on my foreskin n is quite itchy, furthermore having a itchy balls for some time, even wake up in the nite to scrach some time until it bleed.
As I just have a commercial sex about a week ago, so really hope that is not GH, really worry me now
Really need help urgently, wanna do my check up on coming Monday, thanks
