Often I see questions as to what gift to give a Thai bf. Consider giving your bf and yourself vaccinations for Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B. Hep A is very contagious although not necessarily life threating however Hep B is one of the leading causes of liver cancer especially in Asia. It seems that Hep B is far more prevalent in Asia then in Europe or North America and is transmitted through contact with blood of an infected person. Hep A requires two shots and is readily available and inexpensive at most clinics in Thailand. Hep B vaccination requires three shots and is more expensive and not as readily found so best to go to a hospital. Unfortunately there is no vaccination for Hep C which is also a leading cause of liver disease. These are simple measures that could save suffering or your life.Similar Threads:
