Being on a swinging site and being a total little slut obviously sexual health is a concern. However there are loads of ways to reduce your risk.
You can have vaccination against Hepatitis B and HPV (the virus that causes genital warts and cancer of the neck of womb, penis and anus).
When it comes to HIV for years now people could get "Post Exposure Prophylaxis" which is a set of pills they could take up to 72 hours after sex and continue taking for a month to prevent them catching HIV. Essentially this is like the morning after pill to prevent pregnancy except instead of pregnancy it prevents HIV and you have to take it every day for a month for it to be effective and it is most effective within five hours after sex. Available from most sexual health clinics as a walk in or A+E if out of hours.
However, now you can also take a medication called Truvada BEFORE sex to prevent you catching HIV. This is known as "Pre Exposure Prophylaxis" or "PREP" for short.
You can take PREP in one of two ways:
1. Take a pill every day. Thus can reduce your risk of catching HIV up to 99% which is equivalent to a condom.
2. Take it on an "event basis" before a bareback sex session. This means you take two pills 2-12 hours BEFORE sex and then follow up with a single pill the following day and day after that. So that's four pills in total over 3 days. This reduces risk by about 86%.
You can currently buy PREP online from a website set up by UK sexual health clinics as the treatment is not currently free on the NHS. If you Google "I want prep now" the top link is the website.
There are further ways to reduce your risk of HIV. One is avoiding high risk groups.
The highest risk groups in the UK are: men who have sex with men (gay and bisexual men are by far the highest risk groups with more than one in ten having hiv in cities like London and Brighton), both men and women of African and Caribbean origin (but African much higher risk with again more than 1 in 10) and those who enjoy sex with them, trans girls and the men who have sex with them. There is also a higher proportion of eastern Europeans however the risk is lower compared to other at risk groups.
Of course no vaccinations or pills will protect you from herpes, chlamydia, gonorrhoea or syphilis and recently antibiotic resistant strains of these germs have evolved.
Don't forget the BEST way to prevent catching any disease is using a condom, but the above options are available for those who choose not to wear them.
Hopefully this was a useful overview! |

As informative as the above information is ..... who in their right mind is having unprotected sex when meeting from this site ? I wouldn't meet someone who suggested otherwise  |

"But what about all the people you might infect - how does this help!"
You can't infect anyone if you don't have it yourself.
The reason I'm giving this information is actually mainly because most men who message me want bareback but have no idea of the risks, or even when they are told they still don't care and want bareback anyway. Fab is full of barebackers including those into group sex. Loads of accounts on here of women who let multiple men cum inside them in a night and men willing to stick their raw cock into a hole full of the sperm of several total strangers and pump using that cum as lube. That actually turns a lot of people on but is incredibly risky. This is a way to reduce that risk. |
