The whole set up of testing has changed now wherever you are in the world and it seems Thailand is not alone. Here in the UKbrill, with testing yourself and results very soon after.

And as you know, PREP, PEP, Doxycycline, and meningitis jab which is now helps for prevention of Gonorrhea.

I was thinking of having sex on my coming trip with a boy who is hiv and hepatitis c positive. I’m not too worried about the hiv, as I’ll use condoms, but I’m a bit more concerned about the hep c.
It’s transferred from blood to blood contact. But it’s a hardy virus that can survive up to a week outside of a host. Toothbrushes and shaving razors can spread it.

Sure, there’s a cure for it but it’s expensive and requires medication for about a month I believe,maybe longer.

Would this make it a pass for anyone?

Not for me without first consulting a doctor, which is what I suggest you do before taking chances. It's not worth the risk.
