Dubld... obviously using a condom would decrease your chances of infection - however, condoms are also not 100%.
the problem is that these guys in DR (from the stories I hear in any case) don't really depend on condoms. They willingly have sex, and preventative measures are the last things on their mind. I don't want to make any general assumptions... however, you have to remember that their culture is not as big on, nor are they educated enough, about prevention. That being said, you have to be careful and bring your own cultural norms when travelling there - that is, if you really want to be with someone make sure you have a condom.
Anna - thank you for the advice... that is exactly what I was thinking. I let my heart push over the warning signs...thank you... you helped me solve a little thing that i was at war with.
to the group overall... it's only been one day since I've posted this message... and lets just say that a group of strangers have helped me more than any of my closest friends have. I guess that could be due to similar experiences? Thank you... I truly appreciate it.
Deb - girlfriend... send me an email... definetly some more chatting required. Makes me sad though that he's a prick. I guess you just popped that little bubble I had in my mind : )
but it's alllllllllllllllllllllllllll good : )
next question: how do i go to DR again without liking anyone?? meaning... i want to go again and have fun... but i don't want to come back from my vacation and thinking about anyone.
adios to all
and thank you again for all the advice. This is great.
