Why I hated having Chlamydia [2mFPfX01CCM]

In August 2014, Daniel traveled to Japan, rerouting via Kumamoto due to a typhoon before taking an overnight bus to Oita, where he stayed with a Japanese woman he had previously met and kept in touch with via email.

After engaging in unprotected sex at her apartment, Daniel experienced urinary discomfort and severe joint swelling, while his partner suffered severe lower abdominal and bladder pain.

Following an initial treatment failure due to ongoing sexual activity without Daniel being medicated, the couple visited a clinic in Beppu, tested negative for HIV, tested positive for chlamydia, and received antibiotic prescriptions.

Despite antibiotic treatment, Daniel attributed subsequent persistent joint pain in his knees, elbows, and hips lasting over two years to reactive arthritis resulting from chlamydia, and later received two negative chlamydia tests upon returning to England.

Daniel reflects on sexual health, advising the use of condoms and joint testing before discontinuing condom use to avoid pain, before concluding the recording with plans to make omelettes.
