This may seem a bit redundant but I felt the need to reiterate the main thing said (that is use a condom)and to add some info from someone who actualy is dealing with a major STD.
As most of you already know, or I hope you do, that most STD's for those of us in the western world are suvivable, the catch is that you in some cases will be tethered to what those of us in this position lovingly call our Meds. Now this is all fine and dandy and avails most with a normal life span but for some these wonder drugs are brutal and have very unplesant side effects! Just a few are; upset stomach, diarrhea, hyper tension, Diabetes and other cool things like wasting or redistribution of body fat, depending on the med. you might get what we call a buffalo hump. Yup just what it sounds like a hump of fat at the top of your shoulders. Oh yeah and there is always neuropathy, this can be anything from tingling in your fingers and toes to excruciating debilitating pain.
Ok so some of these thing can be controled with yet more man made toxins they call Meds. but that's a catch 22 also as they don't really know the long term effects of most of these drugs.
Now at the risk of being seen as pedantic I must address one more thing.
I would like to know how many of you are awear of Hepititis type C! This to me is the really scarry one. At this point to my knowledge those who have it for the most part are not able to be treated and are liveing shortened lives. I only knew one person ( My research Nurse in the drug trial I was on) who was treatable and that with Interlukin 2! She was not looking forward to it but felt her self lucky that she was one who had a strain that could be treated even though the treatment knocks you on your butt and at that point not known to be totaly effective.
Again, all I am saying is use condums and if you have had unsafe sex in the last 25 years get tested for all STD's.
At this point I am really worried for the young ppl in the US because under the curent admistration those organizations that receives Gov. funding can only teach abstinence (Yeah right we all know that works)They are not allowed to even mention condums much less give them out free as they once did. So it's up to us even the indestructible ones like Ashley, smith, Tom and Drew, and thanks always for Timmy's vigilance to spred the word.
This is not Gods judgment of peoples sexual promiscuity it's a test of the Love brodcast system, Love yourself and all those around you.
Remember you may not like em but ya gotta Love em
Peace my friends
People will tell you where they've gone
They'll tell you where to go
But till you get there yourself you never really know
Where some have found their paradise
Other's just come to harm
