and what a relieve, I am negative for either.  But I have to admit, the last 24 hours was the longest I have to ever wait..I was so nervous when I was listening to the results over the phone.

Actually, I am less worried about HIV then Hep B since the latter is 100 more times contagious and way more common in HK.  Never really gave this disease a thought before but did you know 10% of people have it in HK and the reason why there are so better liver cancer incidences in HK is because 1 out of 4 of these carriers will eventually become chronic Hep B carriers and their chances of getter liver cancer is 100 time more!  The more I read on this, the more serious I realize this disease is and the more worried I was.

All this time I thought I have Hep B but afraid to get tested...( I got a tat from a shady place in HK while ago)  You wont believe how good I feel now.

If you are tested negative, theres a vaccine you can get which I got immediately.  But it needs to be administered 3 times inorder for you to be protected.

good for you Bro. I hadn't heard about the Hep B situation in HK before? Other bros aware of this?

EB virus can cause nasopharyngeal cancer. HPV can cause penile cancer also. Did you check them too?

It is quite common in HK. It is transmittable by sex. Even Andy Lau has it....

yeh but...


1 in every 10 people?

good to hear you're not down with anything !   now time to go out ther and start shagging again !!!

and of course ... report back !  

Hep B is more common among asians. The good thing is there's a vaccine. Go get one bros!!!

You're right Hep B is more common with asians but lots of people live it without any problems. There is a slight increase of cancers and liver disease with it though. Vaccination is a good idea especially for WGS or people who punt a lot. There are medication to suppress viral replication but only used in specific circumstances

good to hear everything is fine. i also had myself testes after a condom broke on my last trip tp HK. also for me both results were just fine but it was the worst few weeks waiting for the testresults. i had my hep a and b shots renewed after this event

really hep c is a problem in HK? I never knew about this... learn something new everyday. I guess hep c could be a problem anywhere in the world but i did not know it was as serious as you guys mention it. guess i have to be extra careful in the future

go get you vaccine, everyone should go get it.  Even if you have it, get a booster every ten yrs or so!

in the US the vaccine is given when your young.  i think it is a standard.  it is not the same in HK im assuming?

I thought everyone in the US has the Hep shots, it's three shots total, I forget how it works but I think it's like 1 shot, then a few weeks another shot and then another shot a week later.  I think you are supposed to get a booster every 10 years, I know my kids get them, but my wife takes them so I really have no idea but I heard my wife saying something about a few new things added to kid's shots, not just the regular mumps measles and rubella shots anymore.

you should go for your TwinRx shot to get both Hep A & B covered!

Im gonna get my HEP A and B shots soon...

scary shit...

GBU.. this site still needs you alot...

and do not forget you need another shot every 10 years.

To clarify, my doc at Neo Health said really 10% of the population here in HK are carriers of Hep B, this doesnt nessarily mean they are sick..but apparently statistics shows that within this 10%, 1/4 of them will have liver cancer.  This is some scary sh*t..

As to vaccine, HPV vaccine should be more useful for us punters because in addition to sexual intercourse, HPV is transmittable through skin contact.

You're right! Especially the younger guys who plan to get married some day, you don't want to pass HPV to your future wife, that shit is scientifically proven that it "MAY" lead to cervical cancer in some women.
