Avatar m tn You don't use statistics to assess your risk, you test to know your status. Use condoms correctly and consistently and you can avoid HIV and most STDs.
Avatar n tn I am looking for information and transmission facts and statistics relating to partners who both have HSV-1 orally and one has HSV-2 genitally. Although I know that the chances of spreading HSV-1 to eithers genitals is extremely low, is there any numbers out there on this? Also on the transmission of HSV-2 to the mouth of someone who already has HSV-1? Thanks in advance.
Avatar m tn Maybe you were trying to be diplomatic or play it safe but the facts suggest that your statement was flat out wrong. Alcohol has NEVER been shown to play ANY role in HCV reactivation.
649848 tn?1534633700 Facts and statistics are often cherry-picked to present a “narrative” that all white people are racist and all blacks are victimized by whites. These statistics suggest this is a biased view that serves only to exacerbate racial tensions. Human beings should be presumed innocent until proven guilty and should not be lumped into categories that make them appear guilty of committing some crime that in many cases they had nothing to do with.

1621722 tn?1333050499 You are an alcohol addict. Does that make you feel more at ease than being called an alcoholic? It shouldn't because you use this drug because you don't like the way you feel or act without it. Begin the process of seeking treatment.
Avatar n tn I'm a heterosexual male who has recently had some bicurious inclinations. While I was in another city, I got extremely intoxicated at friends' party and only have vague recollections of the night. I remember going to some guy I met's place, having anal intercourse at least at first with a condom but hard to know for sure if it remained on, and then oral sex without a condom.
Avatar m tn I have been on several websites in reference to my concern, and the statistics are killing me. "Low risk" is not low enough. I engaged in receptive oral sex a few times, for about a minute or two each time, and I'm unsure as to whether or not pre-cum was present during any of the times.
Avatar m tn An HIV test will not detect the presence of the HIV virus immediately after exposure. Statistics show that 96% (perhaps higher) of all infected individuals will test positive within 2 to 12 weeks. In some cases, this may take up to six months." http://www.aids.org/info/testing.
Tbd By the way, the only reason I mentioned this at all is that "fun with statistics" is so prevalent in today's society. Important to remember that statistics don't represent facts, they are one argument for a position. They are very difficult to get right, and impossible for others to know if the study was done correctly or for a purpose and therefore skewed. You can use statistics to prove almost anything if you want to.
Avatar m tn Could someone please spell out what the statistics say about how much I have increased my risk of skin cancer including melanoma as well as explain to me the likelihood of noticeable long term skin damage such as liver spots, moles etc. If skin damage will occur, when will it become evident and what warning signs should I look for?
Avatar m tn I definitely agree I wasn't asking to justify not using condoms I was just trying to understand for myself when sometimes condoms break the doctors still say little to no risk in some of the answers. I grew up terrified that I'm going to get infected and I'm trying to shake the phobia through facts.
466909 tn?1207568232 It's nobody's fault but mine that I'm an addict. If I didn't take Oxycontin, I would have found my addiction in the bottom of a bottle of alcohol or another substance. The fact is that Oxycontin, when used correctly and responsibly, helps millions of people with chronic pain live normal lives. It's selfish addictive thinking that makes my addiction more important than their quality of life.

Avatar m tn Hi there, I recently went to Phuket in Thailand, got really drunk, and made a very bad move and had unprotected oral and vaginal sex with a hooker there. It was a one off, and we didnt even have sex for very long. Really stupid move by me and im really regretting it. I've been freaking out about HIV since i've read online that its quite prevalent in the sex industry in Thailand, but i've read all sorts of different stats and facts about it and I am confused and worried.
Avatar f tn I am not too familiar with blood alcohol, but I would think that maybe you could have been dehydrated and that could have caused the reading. Try drinking more water next time.
