Today is a good day

[Rance]

For the past few days my passport has been off in some drawer somewhere, waiting for approval. Didn't know whether there'd be an issue with approving my visa. I have some strange job history, and maybe I made an error on the form...

For the past few days I've been waiting for STD test results. Full urine/blood panel. I've had sex with about 35-40 women, with virtually no condom use, and never had a blood test. I was sure something would come up positive on the test.

Well, now it's today

I got two notifications: my passport is arriving for signature, and my STD test results have arrived.

Rip open the FedEx box. Shiny new China visa. Beautiful.

Open STD test results email... long pdf... results all negative. Even HSV1/HSV2. That's right, not only do I not have syphilis, I don't even have herpes. Honestly dumbfounded how that's even possible, since I know people who had sex with like 3 women and have herpes.

Rance has been blessed by the gods of sex! The runway's clear and the marshallers are signaling! China awaits!

How long did everything take after you sent all the docs to your school?
Also are you fucked if you did have herpes?

Better stop living that lifestyle before you wind up with aids. It's like playing Russian roulette. Don't fuck without a condom when you're not in a relationship with the girl. You don't want to be spending the rest of your life visiting clinics.

Don't fuck a man in the ass without a condom when you're not in a relationship with the man

Obviously
That one dude you were thinking of when you wrote that who you knew 20 years ago left out some crucial details about his trip to SEA

Herpes is not transmissible if you don't have an active outbreak. And many people don't ever get outbreaks. Honestly, I am shocked that I have neither genital herpes nor oral herpes (cold sores). With the number of people I've kissed it's statistically impossible. My immune system must be incompatible with herpes for some reason.

No, of course China does not test for herpes. They test for HIV and syphilis, and maybe hepatitis (A?) but I've heard conflicting reports on that.

HIV is stupidly difficult to contract. It's less like Russian roulette and more like playing "let's get struck by lighting" by sitting on your front porch. If you fuck girls in the ass without a condom, it becomes more like "let's get struck by lighting" while holding an umbrella over your head, but still, rare.

Refer to the below table. Note that these rates are assuming you're having sex with an HIV-positive person. Multiply the probabilities by the probability that your partner has HIV, and they are astoundingly low.

A friend of mine's relative caught HIV about 8 months back. Young Chinese kid from around Shanghai. He joined just joined the navy and his friends took him to a brothel where he raw dogged a hooker. It was his first time ever having sex and he got HIV. So his life is pretty much over.

He's Chinese, living in China, and like 20 years old. His navy career is over and the only woman he'll ever be able to marry now would be a deaf one eyed ex prostitute that he found at her job sweeping the street.

He could go abroad maybe. But still who wants to be visiting clinics like that for the rest of their lives? Who wants to walk around knowing everyday that if one day the apocalypse ever does happen they'll never be able to live beyond around eight years after it?

It's pretty solemn.
