i was told by an HIV+ acquaintance in canada that he wouldn't be able to enter the US if US customs/immigration were aware of his status.

this was in 1994, i wonder if it was ever true, or if it's been changed.

Practice safe sex.

If you don't want to use a condom I would recommend you ask yourself this quesion...

Is this sexual encounter worth my or my partner's life?

Anyhow...
Be careful out there. It's a jungle.

Are HIV tests in Korea even accurate? There was a post about a foreigner who got tested positive in Korea, was deported, went back to the U.K and found out he was negative! Confused

I called the international clinic in Itaewon and asked the doctor how the test was conducted (in the States it's two procedures: first they do an ELISA test and if it's positive then they must do a second test, Western Ink Blot, to confirm the positive results. The doctor said no. Wonder how they do it?...doesn't sound really accurate. I wonder how many false positives or false negatives there are doing? Given the nature of terrible Korean healthcare and doctors who really don't know anything...I wouldn't trust getting accurate test result in Korea.

After over 10 years of mongering around every poontown within 5000km (once you reach that wonderful magic point where you think you're hitting or have hit the 1000 mark, the worrying sets in a bit Confused

), had a test done anonymously through:

http://www.kuisc.org/Main/About_KUISC.php

(yay, I "passed"...time to reset the odometer and confirm the flight to the Flipperpines Laughing

).

They are located across from Gate 3 of the Yongsan base in the bldg that houses the Fine Bank. The test is conducted 5 minutes away at Yongsan District Office, so it's legit and assumably professional.

I was asked to give a first name (doesn't have to be real) just so they can label the blood sample vial with it and a control number.

The whole thing takes less than 20 minutes and you are driven there by the KUISC staffer who needs to be with you the whole time.

Oh, did I mention that it's entirely free? Laughing

I am very surprised this isn't a Real Reality thread...

Screen your sex partners guys. It ain't that hard. Confused

Is it that hard NOT to *beep* a girl you've met just 3 hours ago?

I know many guys who are now taking their perspective girlfriends to get tested WITH THEM, so they know the results from the horses mouth (the doc). With 1 out of 3 sexually active people in the UK having genital herpes, and 1 out of 6 have chlamydia, you'd sure as hell better start screening your partners.

The message seemed to be being put out to people outside a local department store at the weekend.

As well as teenage boys, young girls and even some women who I imagined must surely be married with kids received tuition and practice putting on a condom.

I have been living here in korea for about 2 years. I used to live near San francisco and was quite active in a G/L/Bi/Trans Center there and had a lot of exposure to those who are HIV/AIDS. I do visit some of the gay venues here in Korea, some in Iteawon, Dandmemoon, and a few others.

Having been to a few of the gay suanas and sleeping rooms here in Seoul. I can tell you that a majority of Koreans, westerners, middle easterns, south east asians do not and will refuse to use a condom for both parties. The Gi's that visit those places do use them for their safety. I have seen Koreans, East Indian/Pakastani, Russian and some westerns come up to people who are sleeping and forceable sex with those who are not aware. They don't care if they have HIV, or some other STD. They have no respect out of anyone.

There are a lot of gays in this country, and if there is a continued system of denial on the part of the Korean goverment, families, social org. religious org. schools, and etc. Korea will not grow up and be able to deal with this issue in an effective way.

as for maneatinghorse wanting proof....just go to Bangkok or the PI's and you will see loads of ajosshis....and then ask the girls afterwards if they used the rubber duckies....9 out of 10 will tell you that the K's demanded bareback s*x...

I've seen thousands in the past 3 years in the hotspots and I started asking the girls....it scares me and it scares them!!

these dumbasses have no idea they are playing with fire...sad thing is they are giving it to their wives (who are screwing foreigners) and to their mistresses who are screwing everyone else....

it is definately a powderkeg
