haha.. no feel la, u mean..

but can get for free at government hospital lor..

oic, so if want better one must buy at your own cost lor..

if prostatitis caused by bacteria, antibiotic might help..

Nice thread ... Will remember it .

treat syphilis with penicillin
herpes with acyclovir and paracetamol to releive the pain..

yeah, but wanna ask, some std is caused by virus, which is a very small particles. so is it not safe even with condom usage?

Not all STD looks ugly.

STD just means that it got infected thru having sex.
AIDS is a form of STD too.
A simple bacteria in your prostate that u got from having sex is an STD too..

yeah, be a virgin untill u r married..

Hi guys,

I have some information to share. It seems that all of us have this idea that if the husband is HIV positive while the wife is not infected, they cannot have baby as the baby will be HIV positive. This is not true !

They can still have babies !

"If the man has HIV then the only effective way to prevent transmission is sperm washing. This involves separating sperm cells from seminal fluid, and then testing these for HIV before artificial insemination or in vitro fertilisation. Sperm washing is a very effective way to protect both the mother and her baby, but it is only available at a few clinics and can be difficult to access, even in well resourced countries." -adverlet

Even when both of the husband and wife are HIV positive, the baby is not 100% for sure will get HIV. The baby still can be a healthy person. They need to consult furthers with their doctor.

Get tested before it is too late. Do not put the lives of your loved ones in risk. Get tested NOW !

yeah, many attempt can be done to minimize the risk. but the risk still there anyway..

actually, guys IUI is not IVF. Intra uterine fertilization is the injection of sperm into the uterus of the woman and allowing fertilization to occur naturally as when you would do it via the conventional manner. Except in this case there is no penetration by the male organ and instead a device is used to place the sperm into the uterus where it would swim to meet the egg in the fallopian tube as per what usually would happen via penetration.

IVF on the other hand is in vitro fertilization. This is where the sperm and the egg are harvested from the donors and allowed to fertilize on a petri dish before the viable embryo is implanted back in the uterus.

Essentially the difference is  the place of fertilization. And the common term test tube baby refers to IVF and not IUI.

In a father with AIDS or HIV, the sperm is washed and then placed in the female using IUI and not IVF.

And both IUI and IVF are not associated with any increased risk of down syndrome or congenital abnormalities. Essentially, there is an increased risk of miscarriage. Its the cost that is sometimes problematic, and it needs about 3 cycles for a successful pregnancy.

dude, for 1, you are right about the natural selection process, but even still, in IUI, that still does happen. Thats why its called intra uterine fertilization. Its not IVF where you select a sperm and an ovum and allow them to mix on  a petri dish. Adequate amounts of semen and sperm are injected into the uterus and it travels towards the fallopian tube to fertilize the ovum in the body of the famale. So the weak ones do die off, the ones that swim backwards or swim sideways never get there and only the fittest survive. There is no evidence that IUI increases the rate of congenital abnormalities. It is probably that women who attempt IUI may already be in advanced age and thus may already be subject to an increased risk, whatever the method used.

Second, 3 cycles for a successful pregnancy is not absolutely rubbish. This is for IVF not IUI as above, because in IUI you have no problems with regards to implanting an embryo, nature takes its course. By the way. If your read carefully, i did not ever mention placing 3 fertilized embryos into the woman at once. And you do not insert 3 sperm into one ovum. Thats just weird. NO. You allow sperm and ova to mix on plenty of petri dishes and only one sperm will fertilize one ova. Then three to four fertilized embryo's are extracted. Only one is implanted into the woman at any one time. If you implant more than one, there is a risk of multiple pregnancy, but responsible docs only implants one at any one time, the rest are frozen for future use.

The woman is primed with hormones prior to implantation and then the fertilized embryo is implanted. However, per embryo implanted, the chance that it will complete gestation and come out as a baby is only 30%. In 60% of cases it may abort. Thus mathematical sense would tell you that if you want to guarantee successful pregnancy, you would have to have 3 cycles, but like i said, some people get it right the first time. If it fails the first time, the woman would again have to undergo the same process of priming and implantation of the second embryo, again the chance is 30%. and so on. It is time consuming and may take up many months.

So you need about 3 cycles and each cycle only implants one embryo so you cant get a twin or a triplet, unless the initial embryo itself splits to form identical twins, the rate of which is similar to a natural pregnancy.

i agree!

the worst thing is that a lot of people who carry STDs don't even know it. there is no test for HPV in men so even if there test results are clean, the woman they have sex with can still get HPV from them.

I think the natural thing that you mentioned is crap. Even if it went through the natural process, it doesnt guarantee the quality of the newborn. In fact it should not be judge like that. Keep in mind that sperm is just a cell containing our genome and nothing else. I would rather call it 'lucky sperm' instead of best sperm. If there is such thing as best sperm, why would god bother to create us men to generate millions of sperm when he can make us generate one best sperm. Besides ovum doesnt choose sperm, it just allows the first sperm that enter it to fertilise it. Its just basic mix and match. First come first serve, but the first comer doesnt necessary means the BEST of them all.

Relax, relax. Don't argue. We all should proud with our sperm, right?
