snowboard_freak 0 Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 There are a heap of "sex tourists" from every country in Thailand and especially in Bangkok. You can see anything in that city. Absolutley nuts. Link to post Share on other sites
OnTheTin 0 Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 Wild isn't it? So many people just seem to throw out their normal personality and take on a whole new persona over there. Link to post Share on other sites
barbarabara 0 Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 Japanese people should just get more use to using condoms. A very simple (not so simple?) step, but a big step. Link to post Share on other sites

rach 1 Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 One of the big problems here (well, most places) is that people just don't think they're at risk at all --- won't happen to me thinking. Link to post Share on other sites

dancing_barefoot 0 Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 I saw a documentaty on HIV in Japan over the weekend. It said that the number of people going in for testing is not many, but the % of people who are +ve out of those who do test has been increasing quite considerably. And the occurance of other STDs is quite frightening. Whether that is just sensationalism or not is another matter, but it certainly sounded pretty grim. Link to post Share on other sites
enderzero 0 Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 I find the amount of HIV education and scare tactics in the US overwhelming. I talk to people all the time that have the impression that if they sleep with someone they have something like a 20% chance of getting HIV. In fact, less than one-third of one percent of Americans have HIV/AIDS (somewhere around 900,000). To add to that if you have unprotected sex with an HIV positive person you have less than a 2% chance of contracting the disease. I am by no means justifying stupid sexual behavior or saying it is not a good idea to wear condoms. I just think the real numbers are interesting. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 At Nagano station they were handing out tissues with information about free, anonymous HIV testing at health centers, and encouraging people who think they might be infected to use it. (I bet the nurses there still ask you if you WANT THEM TO PHONE YOU WITH THE RESULTS. ) Link to post Share on other sites
oblivion 5 Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 enderzero, is it still that way? I thought the hysteria had died down now, some people saying there wasn't enough to remind people the problem hasn't gone away. Link to post Share on other sites
