for example if you sleep with a girl more than once the chance increases, if you have prolonged sex the chance rises, if you partake in high risk sex such as anal the chance increases dramatically. this is why prostitutes have a grater chance of contracting an STI because they have sex more often and with more people. therefore if you sleep with one they are more likely to have an STI and you game of Russian roulette has just had another bullet added in.

other infections are spread much easier than others chlamydia has a 40% chance. gonorrhea has a 20-90% chance( a paper has just been released and featured in the new scientist about an incurable form of gonorrhea now in circulation in Kyoto) also many STIs can be spread orally.

now i would say you have been lucky not to have contracted anything. your chose in girls has nothing to do with it (disease does not care about class or social disposition.) also in Sub-Saharan Africa which as the highest rate of HIV in the world, injection drug use is low. and the biggest cause of its spread is unprotected heterosexual sex.

that attitude you have taken toward sex is disgusting, because you are not just putting your self at risk but also the women you are sleeping with. and could have given and STI to a number of women. Unless of course, you went and had a full STI examination after sleeping with each girl and waited for the results before sleeping with the next. and also had a HIV test every 3 months (because that is how long after catching HIV it takes for you to test positive) if you did do that, then i apologize because you are only putting yourself at risk and that is your right. but also remember if you have something it is a lot easier for a girl to contact an STI from a man because of the vaginal environment. and not to mention the chance of getting a girl pregnant.

i also enjoy sex more with out a condom. but i will only forgo the protection after i have been in a monogamous relationship with a girl for a number of months, am happy with her, and after we have both been tested for peace of mind. and if we break up i get checked again before having another sexual partner.

the japanese i know and have met are unbelievably ignorant about STIs (including a number of girlfriends i have had.) and it depresses me to see Gaiji go to japan and forget all they have been taught because it feels better to have sex without a condom.

@Kashi one of the main reasons why the amount of pregnant women being diagnosed with HIV has increased is because not many people get regular checks. her and/or her husband may have had it for years form a former partner and not known about it before the mandatory testing.

also the social acceptance of prostitution in japan has an impact. many married men will sleep with prostitutes and then go home to their wife and sleep with her. she will not get tested voluntarily because there is no reason to if she thinks she is in a monogamous relationship.

men and women (Japanese and non-Japanese) with a bad and ignorant attitude to sexual health and safety in japan will mean that the rates of HIV and other STIs will just keep on rising, sadly much like the rest of the world.

I have heard that it’s very unlikely to get aids off a girl, who has aids if you are a guy (From a medical professional- almost one chance in a hundred)

I’ve lived in Japan for close to five years…I guess I only had protected sex, when the girl asked to. which, was about 20-30 percent of the time . I had sex with a lot of girls, not counting, but I’d say well over a hundred, but I’ve never had any sexual disease whatsoever when I have been tested. I’m not sure if thats luck, but that’s my story, maybe it’s my choice of girls.

I think it’s better if people are using protection. But it kind of makes me think, (shoot me down if you like) a lot of HIV/AIDS problems, come from male to male sex, bi-men with aids, who have sex with woman and people sharing syringes, with drug use. I also think possibly Japanese men (especially very shy types) (as well as foreigners) who go to certian parts of asia for paid sex, or also men who pay for sex in japan (Soap Lands-places where japanese men can go for paid sex-where woman can have sex with many men in one day, which can be unprotected!) also pose the majority of risk.

I went to the Amemura location but only found a goth-loli clothing store on the 4th floor.

I went to both the Osaka and Kobe testing centres, only to find empty rooms and no needles.
I was there at exactly the right times, dates and lcoations, but both seem to have moved, or just closed down due to of lack of interest. Who knows.

Even though I’m very much in the mood to give up, I’m going to try on of the places on a list I found here..
