STD Screening

Recommended Posts

if i may add to this important thread >>> for people who have a lot of time (1 week or more depending on what they do or do not find and any further testing they will recommend.) i suggest that you also try this place:

 

Bang Rak Hospital

STI Clinic

 

189 Sathon Tai

Yannawa, Sathon, Bangkok 10500, Thailand

 

02-2860431

 

this is a govt hospital that is a major part of all the international STD programs for Thailand, especially HIV/Aides. they were one of the first in Asia to sign on to the International effort to figure all this out and that is all they do there. i have been several times for my periodic check-ups. very friendly, very matter of fact, and no bs or attitude was ever expressed to me on either visit.

 

they will check everything.

 

NOTE: the posters on the walls of this place may have you grabbing your junk and running for the hills. very graphic depictions of what STDs can do when they ravage your body. these STD posters make the pictures on the cigarette packs look appealing. but at least you will know what you are up against the next time you get naked and start thinking about stabbing the black peanut BB.

 

these people conduct the most thorough tests known to the medical profession anywhere. they have always been in the forefront of the cause to reduce STDs.

 

they are also very inexpensive as it is mainly a place for Thais.

 

take the BTS to Chong Nonsi Station on the Silom line. as shown in the map below. if you call them simply ask for an English speaker if one does not answer the phone.

Sorry if this is the wrong thread, but hey, whisky's talking now.

 

Just went to a clinic in my home town of Bristol last week for a general screening, my first in 2 years. It was damned awkward explaining to the very attractive asian lady doctor about the number of sexual partners I had in Thailand, their sex, and the circumstances. It felt so bad when you say "yeah I had paid sex with x GGs and x males" (for some reason, I didn't expand to her about them being LBs). When in LOS, it just doesn't feel bad/seedy like when you say it to an attractive lady.

Was referred to a counsellor while waiting for blood tests, and maybe the fact that he was gay (I think) and not a stunning lady, I felt quite happy discussing the LBs, condom choice for anal, blowjobs etc. Stupid and double standards on my part I know.

 

I have in the past been willing to take a chance with the occasional GG when I haven't got on with the condom (I have no issue without it for some reason), and although the last 2 were not classic 'sex workers' - one was from a bar off Sukkhumvit but not working there, the other a massage girl - it's still one hell of a lottery to be playing. From now on, I'll be sure to have a Cialis/Kamagra backup to hand, rather than take the risk.

 

Occasionally the urge to bareback with a LB has been sorely tempting, but I've managed to abstain so far. I guess after years of marriage it may feel more natural not to use condom, but just like giving up smoking, it's changing the mindset for the benefit of one's health.

I recommend BNH Hospital near Silom: http://www.bnhhospital.com

 

Less expensive that Bumrungraad, and it won't be a problem if one doesn't speak Thai.

 

 

I have been at BNH several times:

Hearing test

Lab work for blood clotting serum

2x year PSA test (for last six years, following radical prostatectomy(in USA) 5 years ago.

ER room visit for chronic diarreah

 

All times were done to above-Western standards and, from USA perspective, cheap.

 

BTS to Silom, walk down Convent Road.

Interesting find, bkkladyboy!

 

How’s their English at the hospital? Is the STI Clinic a sub-section of the hospital? If so, where’s it located?

 

About three weeks ago, went to BNH complaining of Urethritis and wanting an HSV test. The urologist just refused the HSV test request saying that HSV testing in Thailand was unreliable. I wasn’t completely surprised because I’d heard the same thing at Rangsit General Hospital and Thammasat University. When I pressed him on it, he said, “In Thailand it’s complicated.” I paid 1,100 THB for that meeting (700 for the doctor, 200 for the nurse, and 200 for lab work).

 

Leaving BNH, I thought to give Bumrungraad a shot. The urologist there also refused saying HSV testing in Thailand was unreliable. Although I had heard that before, I figured if anyone did the testing in LOS, it would be BNH or Bumrungraad. Anyway, paid 1,750 THB for the visit, but don’t have the breakdown.

 

Gotta go back to BNH to get the lab work results on Monday. Depending on the outcome, may give Bang Rak a visit sooner rather than later. Either way, Bang Rak Hospital, STI Clinic does indeed sound like a good place to go.

 

+1 for that!

the English is not perfect but its enough to do what you need to and doctors are more proficient than admin.

 

i believe all they do there is STD research.

 

just follow the google link. i believe they have parking too, not a lot, but i saw some.

I went to BNH Hospital at Silom for STD testing this morning, the doctor (a really nice old fellow) examined me and suggested that I should take a good flush of Antibiotics instead and gave me a bottle of Azithromycin based antibiotics to kill possible gonorrhea and chlamydia infections. (He said exactly what you guys are saying here, oral is relatively safe.)

BNH service was way above excellent, they were fast, really polite with an OK level of english. All together I paid 1825 baht for the examination, nurse and medication and it took about a bit more than an hour.

 

I would honestly recommend their service, it was very efficient, clean and professional!
