Q: Are STD's a rampant problem in China?

Seeing as the news here is "harmonized", how widespread is it?
Are the locals even taught about these things?

I assume it's everywhere because people don't know much about it, therefore they don't know how to prevent it. Whoever is sleeping around in any country can't be careful enough, in my opinion.

I was once told by my students that only foriengers have disease.  If you stay away from foreingers you are "safe".  I often wonder, WHERE do they get this (mis)information!?

Back in my working girl days...I had a few 'femmes de noir' wrap it up before they smoked it, let alone poked it.

thedude:

You do realize that condoms will not protect you from many std's? Not that I speak from experience but you can never be too careful.

You can't really trust the official statistics provided by the Ministry of health as any other "scandal", STD, AIDS, etc are strictly kept under control.
Back in 2000, Wenlou was a famous village in China where AIDS was ramping throughout the village and the village isolated by the military.
Just be careful with yourself. Condoms can protect you but they are not 100% safe.
Western people often don't give a damn about it, because they believe they will be safe.
Chinese people often don't give a damn about it, because they are often not really informed about these kind of diseases (either at school or by their government).

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam bef
A:Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam before granting Z visa is to make sure, you won't be entering China in any abnormal and harmful to others condition.Few days after your arrival to China, you'll be required to complete another ME ... If ME in China will be OK, you'll get a Residence permit stamp into your book some 10-days afterwards. Imagine, you're an employer, who can sponsor my entry and work in China, but after my arrival to China would be found I carry some sickness, which would prevent Chinese .gov to issue a Residence permit. Rule is: Z visa should be converted into Residence permit in 30-days after entry to China.    So, my advice is:"Complete ME in your home country and forward medical results to your employer".Z visa grant will follow shortly afterwards. Employer is not wrong at their demand for the pre-arrival ME from your home country hospital.   -- icnif77
