Good day.

I'm a lesbian. My gf and I found out that she has syphilis. She got tested in SLH. She was told that the bacteria is already in her blood. Will it go away? Is there a possibility that I may get infected? I am feeling something unsual already, and I am taking doxycycline. What should we do?

Email 109: "My Experience in RITM-Satellite Clinic"



This email talks about a personal experience in RITM Satellite Clinic:

"I engaged myself very much with unprotected sex since college years, that is, roughly 5 years of making myself sexually satisfied and took for granted the possibility of getting infected.  I had minimal sexual partners but countless sexual encounters with them and never thought of using condom on every occasion and never thought of their past sexual experiences.
