I have lyme disease and I'm concerned of passing it to someone else via kissing/sexual intercourse. Officially, the CDC says it cannot spread between humans. However, many people online claim that it CAN.
I'm not sure how to approach this. Whether to inform others before sex. What to do to prevent from spreading it to whoever I'm with.
Can I ask your opinion on this /sci/ and how to prevent from spreading it?

If you got lyme you shouldn't be concerned about spreading it you should cure yourself. Medications are not illegal.

I took abx for it about 2 years ago. I'm not aware of any other treatments for lyme.

So you don't believe the CDC, who are kind of the experts in these kind of things. But instead you want to believe some random anonymous poster on 4ch? You're a genius.

Lyme disease was created by ex-nazi scientists off the coast of connecticut.

/sci/ isn't your home board is it?
Any kind of medical questions or personal advice gets shut down by that faggot almost as quickly as its posted.
I was hoping he got bored but he's posted as recently as yesterday.

No it's not anon, I just wasn't sure where else to ask a question like this. /adv/ might not be as useful, seeing as how this is niche medical advice.

Do you want to cure your condition?
That is antisemitic!

Well, chronic Lyme is entirely psychosomatic, no different from long covid or IBS. It's no coincidence that these diseases are almost exclusively "contracted" by bisexuals and histrionic women. So you actually can spread it, but it's not via sexual contact, it's via social contagion. If you want to do your part to keep others safe, stop talking about it.

Borrelia burgdorferi is cleared in about 14 days with antibiotics coupled with even a primary adaptive immune response. Chronic lyme disease is just silly.

Yeah it makes no sense, but I don't think the sufferers are necessarily stupid. Susceptibility to suggestion is unfortunately a fundamental human trait. Even very intelligent people can get psychosomatic illnesses, even though it's rarer.

I went on abx and my symptoms got worse, then I went on abx again for a longer period of time and they got a little less worse but I was still in pain for about a year before things got better. Would you consider that to be psychosomatic or do you refer to something else when you say "chronic lyme"?
It's frustrating when people gaslight people who's problems don't have solutions yet, rather than actually try to solve them. I guess it makes you feel better or something. It's still scummy behavior, whether you realize it or not.
My symptoms are mostly gone, but after what I've been through I wouldn't just discount all of this as people getting duped into thinking they're in excruciating pain all day. Fuck that shit.

If you don't treat it (or of it goes to the brain or brainstem) then it csn be lifelong I think

yes, these symptoms are usually people who don't catch it in time

Where the rubber meets the road with "long" diseases is it isn't that you have the disease anymore, you're cured, you've completely recovered, but the disease can leave behind scarring or damaged tissue that's healing weird, and that's where the pain or discomfort is coming from. This is something most doctors can't really qualify because for all intents and purposes; your body is perfectly fine, most of the time this appear as anything visible, but that unfortunately doesn't mean the pain or discomfort you're feeling isn't real.

I'm going to say that "bug to people" diseases aren't communicable.
I'm entirely basing this on the ecology of other blood-sucking insect spread diseases, but typically the disease needs to complete an important step inside the gut of an insect before it's contagious. The idea would be: the tick bites you, you get lyme disease, your body fills with 'untriggered lymes', another (or several) ticks bite you and pick up that lyme, the lyme infects and completes its' lifecycle in their body, and the lyme is now armed and ready to repeat the process.

That's what I've heard before, that the problems were from damaged tissue rather than an infection. Still I hear that lyme stays in you for a long time after, even if it's not affecting you. And anecdotally I've talked to several people IRL who have to go back on ABX from time to time as their symptoms get worse periodically.
