thanks guys, do doctors have normal hours on saturday with it being new years eve and all and could you go to the triage nurse in the A&E?

WalkswithDeath · 31-12-2005 12:34am

you can get them in an well woman's clinic / family planning center should cost around 15 euros. always use a condom they don't just stop you from getting pregnant they also stop you from catch any disease's (1 in 20 Irish people have HIV /1 in 5 have an STD) so be safe not stupid

Fajitas! · 31-12-2005 12:36am

You could go to the triage nurse, but there'll be doctors on call. Even if you want to ring your doctors office now, there'll be a list of doctors on call.

Hope all is ok in the end

EDIT:
Off topic for a second...

yes and what makes it worse is that most STD carriers are under the age of 17. this was all published a few weeks ago you can get the government finding on the increase of sexual transmitted disease from DCU.

If you live in Dublin, there's a place beside Smyths toys in parnell square that does it.€50 though.
Unfortunatly for myself, we were unable to go on a sunday...so we rushed to it on the monday.They'll sort you out no problem.

Its called the Jervis medical Centre - in the phone book so ring in the morning and they will give you an appointment which means you won't have to wait when you go in

You do have approximately 2 days to get the prescription, though obviously the sooner the better. If you get a GP appointment, it will cost the standard fee. Other clinics may do it for cheaper.

I was in the same position years ago, Had to make an appointment after a condom broke. I got a lecture on unprotected sex (We were using a condom) then I got the prescription. It felt so embarassing. But all was good in the end!

Yeah my girlfriend got the same lecture. Someone should tell doctors that condoms do actually break from time to time.

You'd be suprised at how many "breakages" they see in a year. Condoms don't break that often tbh.

My thoughts exactly. Sounds like scaremongering tbh. Most STD carriers being under 17 sounds a bit off. Surely it'd be a fairly even spread into people in their early/mid 20s?

Nevyn · 31-12-2005 9:55pm

yes and no the lack of knowledge about STI and hiv has rocket in those age groups.
Long gone are the tv ads and the slogans form the late 80s early 90s and most
of today's teens never had it impacted or explained to them.
That coupled with the cost of condoms and dr visits for contraception.

Vyse · 01-01-2006 10:02pm

That'd be more like 200,000 people which is totally unbelievable.

The cumulative total number of reported HIV infections up to the end of December 2004 is 3,764.

This would equate to about 1 in 1,000, although the real figure would be higher due to undiagnosed cases.

Although something like 50-80% of any population has herpes in one form or another - mostly oral herpes (cold sores), few enough (compared to the USA) Irish people are diagnosed with genital herpes. http://www.ndsc.ie/A-Z/HepatitisHIVAIDSandSTIs/SexuallyTransmittedInfections/GenitalHerpesSimplex/

All that said, the result of a HIV infection are sufficient to make one only consider safe(r) sex.

Condoms will not stop you from getting gentail warts as they can be anywhere on the general crotch region.

http://kidshealth.org/parent/infections/bacterial_viral/genital_warts.html

http://www.tiscali.co.uk/lifestyle/healthfitness/health_advice/netdoctor/000137.html

Genital warts are caused by certain types of the human papillomavirus (HPV). But other common types of HPV that cause warts on the hands and the soles of the feet do not cause genital warts.

Genital warts are transmitted through sexual contact with an infected person. HPV can be contracted via anal, oral, and vaginal intercourse, and warts can appear within several weeks or months after sexual relations.

The virus is passed through skin-to-skin contact, but not everyone who's been exposed to the virus will develop genital warts. About two thirds of those who have sexual contact with an infected person will contract HPV.
Can They Be Prevented?
Like most STDs, genital warts can be avoided by not having sex or by having sex only with one uninfected partner.

Condoms offer some protection against genital warts, but they can't completely prevent them because the warts can be outside of the area protected by the condom. Spermicidal foams, creams, and jellies have not been proven to protect against HPV and genital warts.
