STDs [formerly known as VD] are equal opportunity diseases.
1. HIV can remain latent [non-detectable] for decades. If you even think there was an exposure,
get tested every 6 months for 5 years. Most HIV infections will "show-up" within this timeframe.
2. As Bob Davies mentioned, Micoplasma & Ureaplasma are rarely tested and routinely generate
seemingly neverending symptoms non-responsive to most western standard issue medical treatments.
3. Chlamydia is typically how your wife/partner catches a wandering male partner. The male is
typically without symptoms whilst most females develop "issues" within 72 hours, frequently
within 12 hours. Oops 
4. During the American War era in VietNam, that gonorrhea strain was termed "VietNam Rose"
in addition to being >95% resistent to treatment. Suicides were frequent as "pissing razor blades"
gets old after 72 hours. As I have mentioned in earlier postings, VietNam Rose has grandchildren
who are very much alive and active in Asia and elsewhere.
5. The beauty of "Miss Syphillis" is that she will "go away" without treatment. Later, a purplish large
swollen groin lymph node [inguinal buboe] appears, a truly spectacular sight to behold. This too
will "go away" without treatment. Years later, however, Miss Syph returns [tertiary syphillus] with
untreatable neurological issues. At this point, you are royally screwed without a HE or BBBJ. 
6. Wholeheartedly agree with hotjac that the OP should name the STD. Otherwise, how in the bloody
hell are we to know what is lurking in the local waters??
7. The HK Public STD Clinics are NOT very good at diagnosing the issues. Several years ago, when
I had "an issue", I went there. Multiple visits [>10] later, they were adament I had no infection
despite the original symptoms being unresolved. Flew to Edinburgh where a geriatric GP in NHS
quickly made the correct diagnosis & gave the correct treatment. YMMV
Happy Punting, laddies!  | |
