disease transmission, coinfections and sexual habits

[fishdoc]

Just a quick ponder... I just got back from the Dr., with the 3rd UTI in 6 weeks.......I have never had this before.  He questioned me about sexual positions, frequency, and hygiene... of course I said DOC, look at me, sex is not an option...

but it did get me thinking... I know in HIV, women are more susceptible to disease transmission because the virus is "deposited" with bodily fluids, and contact is longer...

Is there a higher rate of HCV transmission to women than to men?

Does douching help?  Positions?  I know we are looking at a 2-3% transmission rate, but thats 2 or 3 people out of every hundred...

Inquiring minds want to know...

Maybe can do can do it fish, But medical or not im not going through no car wash. Why should only one benefit? 'GEEZ'

They found the stones when I have the
'liver scan?
not the liver biopsy,
but first it was like this.
no symptoms of hep c
no symptons of kidney stones

1. donated blood
2. found hep c
3. liver scan?
4. liver scan shows kidney stones
5. reviewed history of uti--I got many--but did all the things I was suppose to do to NOT get uit
6. it was determined that the stones were assisting in uit due to some process of urine not 'all' coming out..
went through lots of hurt pain with that stuff.
7. stones don't hurt didn't know there were there, till found
8. but when found so big...did a lyprocospocsy...no idea how to say or spell, but its not like a lazer tx its like they zap them with sound waves, your kidney gets bruised , no big deal but it was to me..
9. then pee thru a strainer & save...
10 then back to exray...whoops...still there...
11. Zap again...pee through strainer
12. now follow up with a full two day collection of stinky stuff..
oh yes, let me tell you, I'm having some fun this year!!

Geez, a carwash??!! All this talk is REALLY making my libido go down. LOL

Well I wouldn't be thinking about the car wash that's for sure!

I would be thinking about the pressure points to prolong it first!
