Why I hated having Chlamydia

In August 2014, after reconnecting by email with a Japanese woman, he visited her Oita apartment; unprotected sex preceded chlamydia symptoms. Urinary discomfort, joint swelling and disabling pelvic pain followed; tests were chlamydia- positive, HIV-negative, while repeated sex caused reinfection despite antibiotics. Two years later, intermittent reactive-arthritis hip pain is improving; negative follow-up tests prompt him to endorse condoms or mutual testing.

Preventable sexual risk becomes prolonged physical suffering, prompting a belated shift toward safer sex.
