Comments on: What Should I Do? More on AIDS in Japan http://www.stippy.com/japan-life/aids-in-japan-free-hiv-tests/ A fresh look at Japan, by gaijins for gaijins! Mon, 15 Mar 2010 01:35:10 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Hello http://www.stippy.com/japan-life/aids-in-japan-free-hiv-tests/comment-page-1/#comment-81947 Hello Thu, 24 Dec 2009 03:50:02 +0000 http://www.stippy.com/japan-life/aids-in-japan-free-hiv-tests/#comment-81947 Interesting article. I heard that most of the HIV/AIDs infections in japan were prodominantly from men to men. 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. Interesting article. I heard that most of the HIV/AIDs infections in japan were prodominantly from men to men.

However, I went two days ago to find an empty room. I will check up on this soon. 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.. http://www.stop-std.jp/inspection/list.htm#08 happy testing! Just a heads-up…

A small step maybe but better late than never. Shane:

I would say kids in japan have even more sex that kids in america. In the US its still considered taboo for kids to be having sex in high school, but in japan, tv shows of even middle school kids having sex is common. Even so, aids is mostly about drug addicts sharing needles, so that would explain why the aids count is still so low in japan. This goes without saying that Japan really needs to clean up their child porn label. Japan is really turning into a sex crazy country.
