I find some fault with your information. I'll address specifics...
5-10-04: Drinking Urine, The health effects!
by Wizcitrix
<<It would seem a lot of people want the answer to this question and a lot of sites give vague answers or opinionated answers. So what are the real effects of drinking urine. Well it seems there is no immediate danger but some health risks can arise. First I keep reading all over the place that urine is steril. let me dispell this common myth. Urine is steril but only in people free of all infections. Basically unless you live in a sheltered environment with no human contact urine is not steril. >>
This is incorrect. The majority of people's urine is sterile. The body works hard to keep it so, because the kidneys are such vital organs. You needn't be "sheltered from human contact". And, for the examples you go on to list - either 1.) Most people have already been exposed to these organisms and are immune 2.) They've been vaccinated 3.) They have other symptoms which would, in many people, lead to treatment.
<<Hepatitis B is carried in the urine of infected people. While drinking urine is not likely to transmit the disease, getting a golden shower, aka. getting urinated on, can be risky if there are open cuts on your body. >>
You are far far far more likely to contract Hep B through intercourse than being urinated on. I am not aware of one case attributed to Hep B being contracted through contact with urine. In fact, the CDC (Center for Disease Control) lists Hep B levels in urine as low/undectable
http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/diseases/hepatitis/slideset/hep_b/slide_10.htm
The CDC is a well recognized Federal Organization which sets standards for diagnosing/treating and controlling the spread of disease.
And, there's a simple solution to not contracting Hep B regardless the vector - get vaccinated.
<< Cytomegalovirus is a very virus which can cause a flu-like illness and may be passed in urine. It is the same virus which causes blindness and other serious illnesses in people with AIDS. This may be transmissible by drinking infected piss. >>
85% of adults have been exposed, and are immune, to CMV. Concentrations of the virus are far higher in saliva than urine. When initially contracted CMV may cause mild flu like symptoms - but more often than not, there are no symptoms at all. If a child is known to have active CMV infection, it is not even recommended that he be kept home from school. There are 2 populations of individuals vulnerable to CMV - the immunocompromised (HIV+ people, those taking drug therapy to immunosupress, and organ transplant recipients), and fetuses of mothers who acquire the infection *while pregnant* (a small percentage of patients). Source again, CDC, however I can refer you to any number of legitimate medical references for confirmation
<<Genital herpes may be intermittently pass herpesvirus in the urine, whether or not they are having an outbreak a. Being urinated by a person with herpes could cause infection via a skin wound, developing a lesion called herpes gladiatorum. This can come back over and over and over, just like genital herpes or a cold sore. >>
Herpes Virus would be "passed in the urine" only if a patient has (or had) sores near or in (- which would be a difficult thing to do) the urethra. Again - I know of no documented case of Herpes being transmitted by urine. If you know of any (non anecdotal- from a legit medical source), please share. If a person is infected by Herpes - you should be worried about other ways of contracting the disease.
<<Chlamydia is a bacterium which causes what used to be known as nonspecific urethritis or nongonococcal cervicitis. Chlamydia is the most common STD in the U.S. Both chlamydia and gonorrhea may be found in the urine of infected people, and drinking their urine could theoretically cause these infections in the throat, although I am unaware of any documented cases.>>
Concentrations of Chlamydia and Gonococcus are far higher in vaginal and penile secretions than urine. (It is less common for women to have urethral involvement, but it does occur). And you're far more likely to catch gonorrhea of the throat through oral sex, than from urine. Men are likely to be symptomatic with gonococcal infections, leading to treatment. Chlamydia is more problematic; only 50% of males and 25-30% of females have symptoms. Both are easily picked up on routine STD screening, and are easily treatable. Females particularly should advise their gynecologists of their STD risk - chlamydia is a leading cause of pelvic inflammatory disease and sterility.
So, the message is, know your partner, and, as you go on to state, have regular check ups if you have multiple partners. Get a Hep B vaccination. Always mitigate your risk. But - as far as bodily fluids go, urine is probably the safest.
