And clients should notify their escorts. This is not a one sided issues. Let’s make sure we included all people since this is an LL person problem.

It doesn’t matter if you are an escort, client, civie, married, rich, poor, good looking or ugly, everyone can have and can pass an STD and this one runs rampant and is usually contacted by civie sex. Just sayin’
uuuggggh!! ... needs to be said.

how common is herpes with escorting and have any of you contracted it? I’m freaking out I’m having a herpes scare after I got an escort 2 weeks ago. I wasn’t fully educated on herpes before this event and I’m really freaking out
Been doing this for 30 years and never caught anything. Relax!

I am having major pain in my shaft and am constantly urinating, I had red bumps for a few days, no puss. I’m really freaking out and my anxiety is taking over
as others have said, go see a doctor. but....sounds less like herpes and more like a common urinary tract infection. Easy to pick up when seeing escorts, even using a condom for FS

Just remember, you can get this from anyone. This is not some escort specific STD. Your one night stand at the bar, your new GF, your long term GF. You could be with someone for 10 years while they have no outbreak and then Bam! They have one and you get it so don’t be so naive to think you have escaped this risk because you stopped seeing all us dirty hookers.

Just pointing that out.
I am so tired of this "escort are the vector of diseases" crap. It's always new member and when proof are asked, they disappear.

Hsv 1 is 70% of the population, hsv2 is 10%. It's 7 people out of 10.

Looks like OP has a urinary track infection. I don't think HSV makes you urinate often.

Also on an unrelated note, let's stop shaming STD and STI. Guys are asking for bbbj, dato, daty and DFK. Ladies provide. We are in this together. This is the kind of attitude that makes a provider want to disappear if they get something. We should be able to provide an environment compassionate enough that it's not always considered "on us" provider. On the long run it would be a lot safer for everyone. Just my 2 cents.

This might help calm you down. The risk of a woman transmitting genital herpes to a man is small. Like I've seen this stat in the past and I found it really surprising:

In some studies of couples where the woman has it and the man doesn't, the chance of transmission is only 4% per year that they're together, having sex with "average frequency". That's even without using condoms or the woman taking any medication. If they do those two things, the chances go down to 1% per year.



The chances go up if you have sex with someone during an active outbreak (when there's visible lesions), but people tend not to do that, and many people don't have outbreaks, so those transmissions are even rarer (about 30% of all transmissions).
I found that surprising the first time I heard that, because not knowing anything about it, and from what I remember from my health classes in grade school, I just assumed if you had unprotected sex with someone with herpes you would be guaranteed to get herpes and your dick would basically fall off. I definitely remember the teacher saying in a menacing tone, "....there's no cure.... herpes is FOREVER, FOR-EV-ER. FOOORRREEVVVVEERRRRRR." :LOL:

But it's also apparently pretty common, and like someone said already, many people show few or no symptoms. Most people don't know they have it.
One stat I see is from a Statistics Canada report back in 2013. In a random sampling of thousands of Canadians, 1 in 7 people had it, and 94% of them were unaware of it.
Majority of Canadians with genital herpes are unaware they have it, study finds - The Globe and Mail

1: Anyone who has been working for a while or doing the hobby for a lot has it.
2: Anyone who claims they are clean in that situation is either lying or doesn't know what they are talking about
3: Those who have it, most of them never had an outbreak and would never know, if they were tested, a big if, probably a false negative.
4: Condoms are only IIRC about 50% protective. With that, plus 20% of the population having it, it is pretty much impossible to not pick it up if you are busy enough.
5: If you do get it you will probably not get an outbreak and if you do, probably 1. It's often considered a social disease in that the social effects are much bigger than the physical effect.
6: If a provider did have Herpes, or AIDS, or Kuru, she will keep working and not tell you. Many kept working through the tightest of lockdowns during covid and were defended by others citing "survival sex work" If you think she will stop because of an STD she can hide, you are dreaming. If there is an active outbreak she might take some time off but otherwise, I wouldn't get on it.

Lots of people got HSV-1 as children from kissing grandma on the lips.
I didn't get it from that, it was from deep french kissing grandma. We are a passionate family.

Most reputable SP’s get test regularly, always use protection. Still, life happens.

Couple questions…. Were you wearing a condom? Is the person in question confirmed to have it? Were they in an active outbreak.

The answer to those questions determines your risk factor.

Wishing the best outcome for you.
You do realize that it is not possible to be "tested regularly" for herpes? Right?

This isn't syphilis or HIV.

You can only test for herpes if you are experiencing an outbreak. They take a swab of the sores and send the swab to a lab to be tested. No outbreak means no test.

And condoms are pretty much useless at preventing herpes because although your cock head will be covered, the lower third of your cock and the base of your cock will not be covered by any condom. So condoms are ineffective.

I think you're right about the testing thing. But I'm not sure about the condoms being useless. While there's a chance of just skin-to-skin transmission it seems really low.
To be fair, I don't know what I'm talking about, all my knowledge is from a initial search. But the studies I mentioned above say condoms can reduce the risk by as much as 50%.

Yes…. I am aware of all of that.

Still…. Most reputable escorts do get tested for STD’s regularly… and if they are breaking out I would assume they are seeing a Dr about it.

The key word there was “reputable”. I think we can all agree some girls may not care, and just need a quick buck. No clue who he saw.

Statistical analysis has shown that as much as <50% of the adult population have a herpes virus infection. About a quarter show symptoms. If you have had sex with multiple partners, especially raw, or visited numerous SPs it's pretty much statistically impossible to have not been in sexual contact with a carrier of herpes. Unless the person had an active infection, there is no point in worrying about it.

There are blood tests you can take that shows whether you were exposed to the HSV-1 or HSV-2. They are part of a panel of tests I take every 4 months if I'm involved in this world. (Via blood along with HIV, Hepatitis A, B, and C, Syphilis, and via urine Gonorrhea and Chlamydia). Just for the record.
Ps never got anything ever in 8 years...

Sigh. Look at the graphic above. It shows for both M2F and F2M it cuts transmission in half. This jives in with what I have read a while back.
They are effective, they are however far from a sure thing. Certainly not useless.
