    Everything you need to know about hepatitis

    We spoke to the team at The STI Clinic to get the facts on how hepatitis is contracted, treated and cured.

    Hepatitis A is very rare in the UK – but hepatitis B and C are much more common. All strains of hepatitis are diseases that affect the liver – but they are very different viruses which means they all need to be treated differently.

    Both Hep B and C can remain outside the body for over 4 days, which makes them more contagious than a disease like HIV.

    Hepatitis A

    Hepatitis A is a liver infection that’s spread by a virus in faeces (poo). It’s rare in the UK but if you are likely to travel to countries where the disease is common you can get the hepatitis A vaccine to protect yourself against it.

    Hepatitis A is spread mainly through contaminated food or poor handwashing, but also passes on easily through sex, including oral-anal sex (“rimming“) and giving oral sex after anal sex. Gay and bisexual men with multiple partners are particularly at risk.

    Symptoms of hepatitis A can appear up to eight weeks after sex and include tiredness and nausea.

    Hepatitis A is not usually life-threatening, and most people make a full recovery within a couple of months.

    You can avoid getting hepatitis A by:

    • washing hands after sex (ideally buttocks, groin and penis too)
    • changing condoms between anal and oral sex
    • using a barrier (such as a condom cut into a square) for rimming
    • using latex or non-latex gloves for fingering or fisting
    • not sharing sex toys
    • asking about the hepatitis A vaccine at a sexual health or GUM (genitourinary medicine) clinic

    If you think you might have hepatitis A, or have any questions, visit a sexual health clinic or GP.

    Hepatitis B

    http://gty.im/123537749

    Hepatitis B inflames the liver and makes it unable to function properly. It’s a virus that is passed through blood, semen and vaginal fluids, so can be passed on through sexual contact (including oral sex) or through coming into contact with infected blood. Gay and bisexual men are at risk of hepatitis B, but they can be protected by the hepatitis B vaccination, which is available from sexual health clinics, genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinics or from GPs.

    Hepatitis B is easier to pass on than something like HIV because it can live outside the human body for about a week.

    Symptoms

    In the early stages of the virus, many people only experience mild flu-like symptoms or none at all. However, people who do experience symptoms in the acute phase might experience some of the following:

    • Nausea
    • Vomiting
    • Fever
    • Jaundice
    • Dark urine
    • Light Coloured stools

    Testing and treatments

    Hepatitis B can be detected from around 2 months after infection and can be picked up on a finger prick test.

    If you test positive, antivirals are usually used to impact virus progression. A face-to-face follow up with a health professional is recommended to decide if further treatment is required.

    Health consequences

    Most people will make a full recovery after a Hepatitis B infection. Around 90% of people will completely clear the virus, having no lasting problems – a process that usually takes 3-6 months. Once the person has cleared the infection, they will be immune to future Hepatitis B infections.

    Around 10% of people will have the virus long-term, known as having chronic hepatitis B. Some patients in this category will remain well but will still be infectious (carriers).

    Unfortunately, it’s impossible to predict how Hepatitis B will progress in a person, so anyone who tests positive for the virus should have their recovery monitored with regular check-ups.

    Hepatitis C

    Hepatitis C is a blood-borne virus that also affects the liver. It causes inflammation that prevents the liver from functioning properly, but it is a different virus to Hepatitis B. There are six different types of Hepatitis C that all require a different treatment approach.

    Hepatitis C is most commonly contracted through injecting drug users sharing needles. There is also a small risk of infection through sexual activity.

    Around 7% of HIV infected men who have sex with men have had a Hepatitis C co-infection diagnosed. There is a small risk of contracting Hepatitis C through sharing notes if you are an inhaling user of drugs such as cocaine, and there is a small risk of sharing utensils that may contain traces of blood such as razors or toothbrushes, as the virus can survive for around four days outside the body.

    Symptoms

    Most people will have no symptoms, or symptoms so mild that they are not detected. However this doesn’t mean that they are not infectious – they can still pass on the virus.

    Symptoms that could be present in the chronic phase include:

    • Nausea
    • Lack of appetite
    • Fatigue
    • Muscle and joint aches
    • Concentration and memory impairment

    Around 20% of people with Hepatitis C will clear the infection within six months, but 80% will go on to develop chronic Hepatitis C. About 30% of people with chronic Hepatitis C can develop cirrhosis of the liver over a long period of time, and a small number of infected people will develop liver cancer.

    The Test

    Hepatitis C can also be detected from a finger prick test, where Hepatitis C antibodies are detected. Further tests are then required to determine if the virus is still active, and which particular genome type it is.

    Hep C can be detected from as early as 9 days post-exposure and can take up to 180 days for the antibodies to appear, so you might need to be retested a few times. In most cases, they can be detected between 45 and 65 days.

    Treatment

    There have been significant developments with Hepatitis C treatments, but the type of treatment depends on the strain of Hepatitis C you have. If you are tested positive you will be referred to a specialist to discuss possible treatments.

    DILEMMA| My boyfriend really wants me to rim him, I’m not so keen

    Dear Uncle,

    My bf and I have been together for about a year and we’re really starting to explore what kinds of sexual activities we’re into – and he told me that he really likes being rimmed. Problem is, I’ve never done it and I’m just not that keen on licking his hole, in case it’s dirty.

    I want to make him happy, so what’s your advice?

  • BIG GAY GLOSSARY | Rimming

    BIG GAY GLOSSARY | Rimming

    What does rimming mean?

    Rimming if you’re not in the know is where one person (the rimmer) licks, sucks, kisses, penetrates their partner’s (rimmee) anus with their tongue. It’s also known as analingus.

    It often forms part of the foreplay part of sex and can help the bottom to become more relaxed before anal sex. and isn’t unique to gay or bi men. Anyone with a butt or a tongue can do it.

    There are a lot of people who absolutely love receiving it and giving it, or both, but it’s not for everyone.

  • Coronavirus could be spread through rimming

    Coronavirus could be spread through rimming

    Keeping clean is essential RN

    According to new research by scientists COVID-19 could be spread person to person via rimming, after they discovered traces of the virus in patients of those who had been infected.

    What’s even more concerning once the patient had no infected cells in their respiratory system, their poop still contained traces.

    According to the report from Gastro Journal, swabs of urine, stool and tissues were taken from 73 hospitalised patients. It found that 53 per cent of the patients tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 RNA in their stool samples.

    17 of those still had traces even after their respiratory system was clear.

    The report said it is possible for a “faecal-oral transmission route” meaning that those people who engage in rimming could be at risk of infection.

    [totalpoll id=”112641″]

    Of course the same could be said for those who don’t wash their hands after going to the loo. Faecal matter can find its way on to the hands – and spread from person to person or person to object – like phones and door handles.

    In any case, it’s probably wise to use moist toilet wipes after using the loo and whipping out the old douche if you’re in the mood for licking the chocolate cave.

    The best advice from the NHS is to stay at home and self-isolate if you have a high temperature and a new continuous cough.

    It also advocates:

    • wash your hands with soap and water often – do this for at least 20 seconds
    • always wash your hands when you get home or into work
    • use hand sanitiser gel if soap and water are not available
    • cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when you cough or sneeze
    • put used tissues in the bin immediately and wash your hands afterwards
    • try to avoid close contact with people who are unwell
  • What are Chumber Nuts?

    What are Chumber Nuts?

    Ever wondered what you might call those bits of poop that get caught in your ass hair… Well, wonder no more.

    Chumber nuts are those little balls of faeces that get caught up in your ass hair – and the only real way to get rid of them is by shaving off your butt crack hair.

    As you move about during your day, your butt cheeks will be rubbing any tiny bits of poop around your anus into little ball-shaped pieces which will cling or attach themselves to your pubic hair. Even though you’ve wiped as thoroughly as possible, there will always be remnants left over, if you have hair down there.

    Although some people will love a hairy man butt, you should be aware that pubic hair around the ass will be teeming with bacteria. This is because little bits of faecal matter will cling to the hair and normal wiping with TP, won’t get rid of all of it.

    So you could buy some intimate wet wipes, but it’s best to have a shower before any anal sex or rimming situation.

    Otherwise, you can shave your ass or even, if you’re brave, go for a waxing or learn how to do it yourself.

  • 10 things you need to know about rimming

    10 things you need to know about rimming

    Before you go to town, there are a few things you should know…

    So what is Rimming?

    Rimming if you’re not in the know is where one person (the rimmer) licks, sucks, kisses, penetrates their partner’s (rimmee) anus with their tongue.

    There’s a lot of guys who absolutely love receiving it and giving it, or both, but if the idea of rimming makes you feel a bit icky we’ve got some tips to make the w(hole) thing a lot more sexier.

    Trim that hair

    Although some people will love a hairy man butt, you should be aware that pubic hair around the ass will be teeming with bacteria. This is because little bits of faecal matter will cling to the hair (we call them chumber nuts)- and normal wiping with TP, won’t get rid of all of it. So you could buy some wet wipes, but it’s best to have a shower before any anal sex situation. Otherwise, you can shave your ass or even, if you’re brave, go for a waxing.

    Clean it good

    So while we’re on the matter of faecal matter, make sure that you have a good shower or bath before you get rimmed. Doctor Rick Viney, a consultant urological surgeon at BMI The Priory and BMI Edgbaston hospitals in Birmingham, told us, “there are plenty of E Coli in this environment so it is possible to get gastroenteritis…” So if you don’t want to spend time recovering from a dodgy belly, a good scrub from your rimmee is necessary.

    Dam it

    If you’re a bit icked out by the thought of sticking your tongue in some guy’s ass, why not try a dental dam. It’s a thin sheet of latex that you put in between your mouth and his butt. Check them out here

    Talking about taste

    If you’re gonna go straight for it and don’t want to use a dam, but not so taken with the taste of ass, then get the receiver to smother his asshole with flavoured lube.

    You can get herpes…

    So did you know you can get herpes from anal oral sex? Yes, if the giver has cold sores it’s best to stay clear of rimming until the sores have disappeared. Dr Rick Viney explained, “the risks from rimming are similar to oral sex. If there is active herpes, warts or syphilis these can spread directly to the mouth and vice versa.”

    Lick it… Lick it good.

    There are no hard and fast rules about what makes for a good rimming session. Whether you go up to down, from left to right, slow or fast, lapping or darting every moment will give the receiver feels.

    For the receiver let your partner know what is working for you, by groans of enjoyment, similarly, the giver can ask, “does that feel good?” (obviously not when your mouth is full of ass)

    [totalpoll id=”112641″]

    Up in the air

    Probably the best position is with the receiver on their stomach whilst lifting the hips a little to make the hole accessible. You can also be on your back, however, if you’re a bit body conscious this might not be a great position.

    On your back is a great position if you want to make eye contact with your rimmer.

    You can also do what’s called face sitting. Where the rimmee essentially sits on the face of the rimmer. Be careful not to smother your partner. Leave room for breathing to take place.

    Eat the right thing

    As with anything butt related you might want to pay attention to what you’re eating before getting rimmed. You don’t want to spend the entire time worrying that you might blow off in your partner’s face.

    We’ve made a list of things not to eat if you’re bottoming and these pretty much apply to being rimmed as well.

    A great way to prepare for the next level

    Rimming is a fantastic way to prepare for anal sex. All that licking and tongue thrusting can really get the motor running before taking your session to the next level. It can also help the bottom become a little more relaxed before fingers or a dick is introduced… Bravo!

  • Have you heard of the Rimosa?

    Who wants a sugared rim?

    There’s a new kink in town. What happens when you mix a mimosa with a rim job? Apparently, it’s becoming all the rage.

    It’s very simple to achieve, you get one Mimosa and you get your BF’s butthole and you put, basically, the two together – and then lick.

    Now if you’re sober, you can always try non-alcoholic cocktails. Can we suggest you stay clear of the virgin Bloody Mary’s or anything Bailey’s if you want to keep your sheets acceptable.

    To achieve the perfect Rimosa, prop that boy’s butt high up in the air, perhaps with a couple of pillows under his hips. Spread ’em, pour and lick.
