Over time I've seen a lot of information and misinformation posted on what you can get how.

For example in another thread I read that we should be worried about syphillis and hepatitis when dining at the Y.

According to the San Francisco City Clinic dining at the Y is a very low risk activity. (Herpes is the only risk and that's rate)whereas BBBJ risks a variety of relatively serious STDs for both men and women.

Here's the link to their site (its been posted before more than once). Does anyone have any comments on its accuracy?

After much consideration regarding the accuracy of the link, I've come to the conclusion that a US based site on Sexual Safety is NOT going to release information any different than with the rest of the world. Sex, regardless of orientation, is practiced the same everywhere since the dawn of time. Sex Health Care Professionals around the world all receive the same training (the majority do) and have the same access to the information, it just happened to be that this particular site has the best method of showing the risks involved in some sex activities without having asked a whole bunch of questions. Sex Health care Pros are the same around the world one place does not receive the inside scoop over another.

Thank you so much for the link.

I can understand what you mean. The link certainly suggests that there is very little risk to performing oral sex on a woman and that there is only a risk if you are performing oral sex on a man. I have to say that we strongly disagree with this statement especially regarding syphilis.

It is not that the San Francisco City Clinic is wrong it is just that they probably see a different clientele who are becoming infected with syphilis.

We see quite a different picture in BC because we have found syphilis transmission through oral sex. We have had two separate syphilis outbreaks, with one in the sex worker community (and their clients), and one in men who have sex with men.

I would certainly be concerned about syphilis and possibly Hepatitis B.

What this means is that if you were performing oral sex on a woman make sure that when you get a blood test they check for syphilis. It would also be important to have your vaccination shots for Hepatitis B, which is 3 shots over 6 months. You can get testing and Hepatitis B vaccination free at anyone of our clinics.

Even though HIV is also seen as a small risk when performing oral sex I would still recommend a regular HIV test as vaginal secretions contain HIV virus.

Hep B vaccination

The current recommendation is to have a series of 3 shots over 6 months. If you have had the 3 shots there is no need for a booster shot. Currently we believe that you only need to be vaccinated once in your lifetime. If someone is immunocompromised (e.g. HIV or other immune problem) they may need a booster and should be monitored by their Dr.

More queries re: San Fran site

I think many would be interested on any information about STDs associated with kissing SPs who provide BBBJ. If such SPs risk STDs from BBBJ what do those kissing them risK?

The San Fran site seems to indicate that there is little risk of STDs with kissing....

There is certainly a great deal of interest in regard to the risk of oral sex. What I will do is post a new thread that will just discuss oral sex; I should have it posted in a few days.

Good posting!

I notice a little rash on my hand about 6mm i diameter. It's not itchy or painful. There's nothing around my genital area and I don't have any flu-like symptom.

Never have unprotected,... except receiving a few bbbj. I know I'm not high risk, but this rash is getting on my nerve.

Do you think it's a symptom of anything? Any imput appreciated.

Curious about what qualification do you have to make that conclusion and what was the guideline used to determine the accuracy of the site?

It just happened to be that this particular site has the best method of showing the risks involved in some sex activities without having asked a whole bunch of questions.
Based on what evidence do you have in favor of this site as the best method of showing the risks involved in some sex activities without having asked a whole bunch of questions? Why is it better than the advise given by the local health professional? Is there any lead researcher currently working for the site and did he/she publish in any of the academic journals that I can have access in the public library?

Hm...the health nurse pointed out again and again that there are certain risk involved in DATY which is listed as very low risk on the SF site. Its not that SF is wrong but thats the trend they are seeing in BC. O-well, I guess everyone can read health nurse's post above.

Hi all

Missing asked the following question;

“I notice a little rash on my hand about 6mm i diameter. It's not itchy or painful. There's nothing around my genital area and I don't have any flu-like symptom.

It is really difficult to do a diagnosis over the internet. From our experience there are many different things that can cause different types of rashes on the body.

This is a very common concern that we get from people that visit our clinics. I find that most people I see are concerned that it could be sexually transmitted and feel uncomfortable about seeing their doctor about it. What I usually recommend is;

1. Visit one of our clinics or your family doctor (if you feel comfortable) and get a full STD/HIV check up.
2. If all the tests come back negative we would suggest you visit your family doctor to have the rash examined.
3. If the doctor is unsure of what is causing the rash they can refer you to a dermatologist (A doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of skin problems). If you are a resident of BC and have a care card (MSP) there is no additional cost to seeing the dermatologist.

The most common STD that can show up as rashes are:

Syphilis:
http://www.stdresource.com/disease/index.php?page=edit&id=4&action=viewfull

Scabies:
http://www.stdresource.com/disease/index.php?page=edit&id=26&action=viewfull

Scabies is passed by skin to skin contact and syphilis can be passed by oral sex. Also keep in mind there are many different conditions that can cause rashes that are not sexually transmitted.

Let me know if you want me to expand on any topic or clarify.

Comments are welcome.
