    I would not recommend every guy over the qge of 40 to get T treatments. I'm sorry that's just idiotic.
    If you have low T, I would recommend aromatase blockers to most people. Arimidex for instance. If that does not help, then you can try T treatment.

    If and only if you have low T levels.
    T therapy has side effects.

    That being said, it's a free world and I'm very liberal. Feel free to reject my advice :-D

    not peer reviewed, very prelimerary.

    several weak points. This is not a causality but a correlative study. Too little subjects, all from two cities in China.

    The sample sizes is my biggest issue, for good data on blood groups you need 50000-100000 data points due to overrepresentation of some blood groups within participants.

    Summary: It’s not fake news but only slightly indicative at best. No reason to assume A+ is more at risk at this point.

    A+ here too.
    Trump is spreading half fake news here.
    Yes Azithromycin + chloroquine have been effective on small scales with very ill people. Effects have been moderate at best.
    Much better medication will be found in the next few months.

    Would you want to take meds that could potentially make you sicker (both meds have side effects) when tested only on small samples?
    Think of how ill you would need to be for that to sound like a good option.

    Some extra info that I found out yesterday, J&J has a HIV vaccine in fase 3 of testing, primary results are looking good. (sorry if this is general knowledge, I didn't know)

    Yes. I have stated that there too. Pulse is on the front lines, so they have the stats....perhaps somewhat bias sample bc it catches those savvy enough to get tested thru them.

     

    It's like Russian Roulette w 2 in the chamber. 33% chance.

     

    The testing bias will be strong with this one. I would bet money the actual stats are waaaaaaay less.

    AUH is quite good. It's like every other major good airport. I had a really good sandwich there that I can remember. People treated me kindly, had short layovers.
    The flights itself were average in economy, as good but not better than KLM, Lufthansa, Austrian or emirates. Food in flight was average and movies slightly above, I remember they had a lot of them. I fly etihad if it's cheap the day I want to fly, I will fly any other major airline mentioned above if they are cheapest that day.

    How is less than 2,5% a gigantic number?

    If you multiply that with the chance of someone having G, you number will be really low.

    and I get my numbers from scientific articles on PubMed, sciencedirect etc. 

    Knowing someone with G is anekdotical evidence btw.

    I will repeat it one more time though. Being afraid of getting superG while punting is equally irrational as being afraid to die in a planencrash. There have been more plane related deaths in 2018 than newly diagnosed superG infections in 2016. (No data for 2017 or 2018)

    Even without mouthwash it’s not easy to get.

    Some perspective:

    Spending an hour relatively close to someone with the flu has a transmission chance of about 60%.

    Sucking cock of a G positive person had a transmission chance of less than 2,5%. Slightly increased by swallowing cum.

     

    The flu is way more deadly than G and if you do not die, the flu is way less pleasant to have.

    Yet none of us worry too much about getting the flu.

    research, pubmed, sciencedirect.
    G is relatively common, but keep in mind people have a lot of sex. Getting G isn't nearly as hard as getting HIV but if it was easy to get, the whole world would be infected.
    Super G, not normal G is superrare. It is rising, absolutely, but there have not been thousands of cases worldwide.

     

    I'm not saying dont be careful, just have some perspective on it.

    I always tell my patients to ask yourself how risky is driving or crossing the road?

    Make the same calculation that people make about diseases.

     

    Realise more mongers died in bangkok from a car accident than mongers who got Hiv from blowing someone.

    Risk of injury during a ski trip is higher than catching either Hiv, G or Syfillis from oral sex.

     

    And never ever forget one ski trip with a msm encounter could leave you paralysed with hiv for the rest of your life. You can win the negative lottery, but should you adapt your lifestyle?

    First of all super resistant G is not common at all, it is just rising.
    Second, getting G through oral sex is not easy. It's not your billion in one shot like HIV(through oral) but oral infection rates are low(below 2.5% if your insertive partner has G)
    So your chance of resistant G is miniscule small x 0.025 = extremely low.

    Enjoy your mongering, just dont do bareback anal.
