Tijuana Medical Services – Physician, lab, Rx, HIV/STD testing

[RexRomanus]

The practice that Fireballs follows of taking a Vigra, etc. before leaving a pharmacy is a good one. (Taking ED meds just before crossing the border is also a good idea.) As Fireballs points out, there are conflicting ideas about when a Rx is needed.

It's my understanding that without a Rx a cop can arrest you for having Viagra, Levita, or Cialis in your possession because under Mexican law they are category four medications which require a Rx for purchase. (Cialis's registration number is 181M2002 SSA IV.) This law, of course, is very seldom enforced—unless a cop thinks he can use it for a shakedown.

As I posted elsewhere, in the US a pharmacy needs a Rx to sell many medications. It’s often the reverse in Mexico. A consumer needs a Rx to buy many medications. (The reason is many people are too poor to see doctors, so they ask pharmacists what to take. Hence this compromise in Mexican law between stopping people from self-prescribing and allowing the poor access to medication.)

On 09-13-2005 I started a thread entitled Mexican Rx Laws & Bringing Meds to the US . The sources for my information are US and Mexican government websites. (Links are provided in that thread.) If you want more information then check it out. Link: http://www.worldsexguide.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14013

I think (hope?) there are mongers who'd want to avail themselves of anonymous HIV and STD testing. (Both for themselves and chicas they want to see.) Perhaps not. It will, however, be interesting to see what does and does not appeal to mongers. I guess time will tell if having a doctor associated with a massage parlor "flies."

Prescriptions are not needed for ED medication in Mexico. Sequnda clase[second class] farmacias is allowed to sell all but the regulated medicines.Pharmacies that sell controlled or regulated drugs are referred to as primera clase, 'Controlled' medicines are those that are deemed as having a high potential for abuse such as Valium. Depending on the class of drugs, class II, III, IV you need a perscription, and I don't think Viagra fits in any of these categories. Now that's not to say the TJ Police if caught will tell you Viagra is illegal to carry without a prescription and try to shake you down for a few hundred dollars - don't let them, ask to see the judge or if your in a hurry give them $20 bucks, but don't let them get hundreds of dollars from you.

I think ViaMex may be praying on the mongers fear of getting caught by TJ police with Viagra. It's a debatable subject that if you can indeed get busted with carrying one Viagra in Tijuana, I believe they can't bust you for carrying one Viagra, but here is what I do. I buy only one ED medicine pill, and take it soon after leaving the farmacia. It's almost worthless getting a Mexican prescription for Viagra because chances are the US border agent will not honor it without a US Prescription to go with the Mexican prescriptions when you try to cross back into the US.

If your going to go through all that trouble you might as well just purchase your ED medicine in the US and carry around a copy of the US Prescription.

Others might come in the thread telling you the law in Mexico, but unless you talk to a Mexican judge trust no one. The opinions vary so much on the subject, from the US border patrol agents, to the corrupt TJ Police to the corner pimp, and of course the things you read on sex fourms.

Another thing I do is pop a ED medicine when I'm 5 minutes away from the Mexican border, knowing that within the hour I'll have Mexican puta in bed with me willing to give me all the pussy I want, as long as the ED medicine doesn't wear off.

I think ViaMex is a pretty good massage place, it's just I perfer Aztec because the massage therapists girls seem happier than at ViaMex. For example I once asked a ViaMex what's with the 'kitchen timer' are we cooking sometime today? She just rolled her eyes, and said, it's the boss's idea, so we don't cheat you out of your time. Actually it's not his idea, he stole that idea from a monger Burt and I know, who uses a kitchen timer when he FUCKS street girls. He tells them,' not so fast, the timer didn't go off yet!

ViaMex uses the feedback from Mongers who complain about bad service or other issues, like using old lady's to give massages. I could just imagine the therapists living in fear, because of something the owner read from a bunch of perverted mongers. Aztec doesn't belong to any sex forums, so the girls don't have to fear negative reviews. BTW Aztec doesn't have any old ladies working for them like ViaMex. I understand ViaMex, is getting rid of the old ladies, and hiring more younger girls, but now I feel sorry for the old ladies who are let go because of their age.

And I have to say I"m SHOCKED that the ViaMex owner and Burt thinks having a doctor in a massage palor is a good idea! What's next, doctors in Tireshops, Hey come get our tires rotated, and while your waiting lets take a look at your heart. Fuck that, I have a Doctor in the US who has come highly
recommended and is US trained. Where did ViaMex find it's doctor? Passed out in a hooker bar? Please, ViaMex can massage my back pain away, but don't play DOCTOR with me, just because you want to make a few bucks more.

One more thing: I don't have any conflict of interest with either Aztec, nor ViaMex, can you say that Burt?[ you should disclose any conflict of interest you might have, or gives the appearence of a conflict of interest. The truth is ViaMex, just about pays the yearly internet fees where Burt is the site Adminstrator.]

Both Azteca and Via Mex only provide 100% legit massages. It's not that I think Azteca is a bad place. It's that I think Via Mex is a better place.

Fireballs apparently prefers Aztca for two basic reasons:
--A massage is $5.00 cheaper. ($25.00 vs. $30.00 for 45 minutes.)
--He doesn't like the owner of Viva Mex. (Apparently because (1) he's an American/Caucasian and (2) he doesn’t tolerate employee theft.)

I prefer Via Mex for two basic reasons:
--They provide a better massage. (All their girls are trained.)
--They have superior facilities. (No hot, stuffy rooms. Cleaner, better showers. Etc.)

I’ll cite just one of the many little things that, I feel, is indicative of Via Mex’s overall superior standards. Azteca covers the massage table with paper. Via Mex uses a linen sheet.

Fireballs prefers Azteca. I prefer Via Mex. Which, I guess, goes to prove the old saying that, “Tijuana has something for everybody.”

I was going to talk about massage places in Tijuana, and I might as well do it here. Yes Viva Mex Spa is going to have a Doctor and HIV testing at the Spa, but I'm not exactly sure of the arraignments, I bet they will end up sending the customers down the street to the Doctors office or a lab.

And it doesn't make sense having a doctors office in a massage palor. If it made sense I would put a Dr. In my Jiffy lube business: Hey come get a oil change and a prostate exam at the same time. Maybe it does make sense to the owner of VivaMex, he is one of two sponsors of TJ Amigos, and he knows lists get passed around there of who the hookers there that let you fuck them bareback, and he thinks these guys are getting lots of STDS, and need HIV testing. Keep in mind that Burt is a site adminstrator for TJ Amigos, and might have a conflict of interest HERE. { I don't really own a Jiffy lube, just using it as an example how dumb the idea is}

There are many massage palors in Tijuana, but most of them are just fronts for SEX. You pay $40 or $50 dollars for the house and make a arraignment with the girl for sex, around $80 for an hour.

Then there are the legitimate places: Aztec massage and the newer place ViaMex spa. Both places give excellent massages Aztec $25 for 45min and ViaMex $30 for 45min, and of course they have other options for higher prices, but absolutly no SEX! I prefer Aztec massage, it's more of a Mexican place, a little cheaper, but the quality if great. ViaMex is good too, but the owner is an American, so you feel like your in Cleveland OHio instead of Mexico in this place, but I understand some people like that.

My beef is with the owner of ViaMex. He seems a little "anal" to me. He writes how he makes his workers put kitchen times in the room to make sure the girls don't cheat the clients out of their time. He forbids the girls to talk to each other when two are them are giving a double massage. C'mon what's the big deal about talking? He also had a problem with employee stealing from him---SURPRISE!!! Not only did he fire the girls, that's fine, but he blackmailed them. He made them sign letters of guilt, and if they don't make full restitution he told them he is going to the police. Just fire them dude, and if it's lot of money go to the police and let the court system handle it.{ this is not rumor but fact based on what the owner of ViaMex writes on another prostitution forum over the last year}
Aztec doesn't do any or that crap that ViaMex does except give good massages. Another thing Aztec doesn't do that ViaMexSpa does, is harrass you on the streets. A man or women will try to shove something in your face and try to get you in there. I hate being harrassed on Revolution.

The owner of Viva Mex Spa, which is located at 942 Avenida Revolucion (between 3rd and 4th streets) in Tijuana, posted this on another board. Since I think people on this board might benefit from these services I’m posting an edited version of his announcement here.

For those unfamiliar with Via Mex, it offers first rate 100% legit massages by a well trained staff. (I’m a long-time, very satisfied customer.) Via Mex is one of the business on Revelucion owned by an American that seems to be thriving. I’ve met the owner, he seems like a very nice (and honest) person. I wish him success.

THE DOCTOR IS IN!
(And so is the lab technician and pharmacist).

Finalized the deal today to have a full-time doctor on staff at VivaMex Spa. Because it just makes sense, we are also offering pharmaceuticals delivered to the spa based on your needs/prescriptions. Details, services, fees to be posted on our Web site www.vivamexspa.com no later than Monday. I will post the exact link here.

The range of services is surprisingly comprehensive. Fees will be competitive and we have an arrangement with the lab to eliminate the need for our patients to chase around to various locations to give samples or get results. Samples will be taken at our facility and results delivered back anonymously ASAP. (This is not always the case in Mexico).

Services will include anonymous STD and HIV testing. Results are returned to us in a sealed envelope. Even the doctor will not have access unless you want to discuss them with him and/or receive treatment.

Prescriptions for ED medications and other things are available. Prescribed medications will be waiting for you in a sealed bag at VivaMex within thirty minutes. (Good time for a spa visit don’t you think?)

Appointments, payments and spa reservations can all be handled through our receptionists via telephone or online. Credit cards accepted – all services, spa, medical and pharmaceutical will be billed as “Spa Holdings Company” as a single transaction.

I’m really excited about this because it’s so easy – all in one stop with a single, competitively-priced payment.

Believe it or not, we will be open for medical next week.

I started buying prescription medications in Mexico several years ago when I lost my health insurance. (Things like BP and diabetic meds. I also buy Viagra there.) I always declare my medication when returning to the US. I’ve never had a problem with US customs. (I also don’t buy things with a “street value.”)

My experience is Via Mex is a first class organization. The owner is a successful businessman on both sides of the border. IMHO anything he’s associated with will have quality stamped all over it.
