STDs - September 2006

In Africa where I am now people who get HIV get it becausae they are promiscuous. If they are treated, they live longer and are still promiscuous, thus kill a few more other people before they die. If untreated, their bodies get weak and the die sooner thus sparing others of HIV infection. What is the most moral thing to do/ Treat or not treat?

As a sex worker who knows people's attitudes, I would not treat, if the ideas was to reduce infection. In South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Swaziland , etc, the majority of adults are positive and the few that are still negative are on their way to infection. Its a matter of time. Zimbabwe says no new infection, but that is just because the nation of those that are promiscuous is now saturated.

I am interested in this man and a good friend let me know that he is HIV positive, the odd thing is it hasn't changed how I feel about him. It's really strange actually, I would just like to learn more about it.

I got a high fever and chills suddenly, and felt really drowsy and lacked energy. Soon after, I got a headache and mildly nauseous (without any throwing up) and had mild diarrhea, a sore throat and severe cramps in my stomach, and in a few days developed a blotchy non-raised, painless rash on my chest and stomach. I had no appetite for 3 days, and suddenly my appetite came back, in high-gear. The symptoms lasted about 5 days. I did a search and HIV acute infection repeatedly showed up, but I am not sexually active. What might it be? Since I'm not sexually active and the symptoms have stopped, should I still go to a doctor?

Whose job is it to protect the interest of the children? We have three people, the husband, the wife and the sex worker. I have been heavily criticised for saying it is the job of the parents to ensure that the children grow up without being made HIV orphans. If a man who says he is married, refuses to wear a condom, I do not really care as long as he pays. Its up to him to worry about his children.

As a sex worker since 1998, the bulk of my clients are married men between the ages of 35 to 65. Just for myself, I need to know why a man leaves a ready for action wife in his house and goes to a sex worker who may be diseased. I also want to know whose responsibility it is to wear a condom. I am not working now since November 2005, but when I was I kept loads of condoms in my studio. There were a lot of men, mostly black men who refused to wear condoms and offered me more money to do without. I let them, and so did a lot of my colleagues. This was in the UK. I have also worked in RSA, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Zambia, and Kenya as well as the USA. I hardly ever had any condom problems with any other race than blacks. Why is this? If there are any blacks here, please enlighten me.

In UK where I was having up to 40 clients per week with maybe up to 10 blacks, the majority of refusals were black, hardly any white ever.

They told me they were testing for anaemia etc... but I feel I should have an STD test at some point. However, like many people Im scared to do so. If I knew the normal FBC test probably ruled out the chance of HIV it would give me more confidence. Any help what-so-ever would be appreciated.

I'm doing a research paper for school and I need to know what kills less teenagers in the United States than AIDS. I'm looking for things that you might think would actually kill more, but don't. Thank you for you help, in advance.

I don't get tested for STD's at my family clinic because I don't want my parents to be involved. I do get checked at Planned Parent Hood and I know that I am clean. I was wondering when you go to get your HPV shot (I would get from family doctor) do they test you there for HPV before giving you the shot? What if you say you haven't had sex yet? What was your experience like getting the HPV shot? Thanks

Why are they cruel enough to go around, infecting other people? That's evil! I don't see how people can hit the STD jackpot & give their 8 or 9 STD's to another partner & still not learn their lesson about being promiscuous.

Why are all of the people in those Herpes medication commercials good looking and happy? I am disease free and yet I am miserable. The commercials basically allude to the fact that people with herpes get to go rock climbing, rafting, hiking and date good looking people.
