Noi has HIV
by dwbLast night I was going to work with a girl who I have shot several times before. She may be one of, if not the sweetest girl I have met in Thailand.
Lets call her Noi.
Noi always remembers my birthday and will even call me in the USA if I am not here. Very rare.
Noi never forgets me on Christmas and even knows that I collect images and small statues of Buddha, and buys a surprise gift for me from time to time.
Noi is hot but she was never was my girlfriend. She is just a friend with a big heart. She is girl who unfortunately made the wrong choice to sell her body in Thailand.
This past year she met a man from Switzerland who took her out of the bar scene and was living with her in Pattaya. After a few months he became very ill and left her with no notice. Poof. One day he was simply gone, and she was back to work.
Before I would take her to work again, I took her to the hospital to get a HIV. Noi tested HIV positive. I paid to have a Western Blot test which confirms the test. That was also positive.
Noi has HIV.
While we’ll never know exactly where she caught the virus, as she is a working girl, I only know that her previous tests were negative and only after she started dating the guy from Switzerland did she test positive. My guess is she caught it from him.
This was terribly sad news, but it is unfortunately part of life over here. She took it better than I expected her to, but she was upset, as you would expect.
Most of the girls who have tested HIV+ for us are usually found the very next day working in the same place we found them. We’ll often see them walking with customers, hand and hand, but I don’t dare say anything to the guy. It is not my place. He is a grown man who knows the risks and if he makes the wrong decision and catches HIV himself, he should have known better. It would also turn into a fight between the girl and I as she would see that as me taking away her money. And the last thing I want is an HIV+ girl violently attacking me.
Since you can pay off many doctors to stamp a positive test as a negative test here 500 baht, I have made it a habit to be in the room for the results. The down side of this is that I am there when the girls are told of their HIV+ status. That also means I am there to watch them fall apart or go right back to work as if nothing happened. Whatever their reaction, I don’t enjoy watching it.
While staying in Thailand I have known girls who have been killed, girls who are missing, girls who were sold into slavery, girls who escaped slavery, and a good handful of girls who are HIV positive. I see a girl almost daily who is slowly dying of AIDS, still making a poor attempt at selling her skeleton frame of a body, wearing full length shirts and pants to cover the lesions on her skin. Somehow, she is still able to turn tricks.
I also know a girl named Gale who knows she is HIV+ and continues to fuck her clients without condoms. All the girls in her bar know about it, as does the mamasan. She brags about it and says that she does not like the feel of condoms and what will happen will happen. Gale has an abortion every couple months. The bar owner, mamasan and the girls at the bar say nothing. I see her walking with men all the time and all I can think to myself is, “be smart brother, be smart.” Then I think about all the dirty holes I have recklessly thrown my cock into and wondered how many guys have thought the same as they see me walking by with a girl they know.
For as much fun as we have on the road shooting girls and living out all our wildest dreams, moments like really bring you back to reality for a short period of time and allows you to think with your big head instead of your small one.
I don’t know if Noi will take medicine or not for the virus. Many of the girls here don’t. But that is not something that concerns any of us. That is her choice. But what should concern those of you visiting Thailand and pulling girls from the bar is… will you be the one taking Noi back to your room?
