I'm no scientist, but I entered "prevalence of HIV in sex workers USA" into a google search, and this came right up:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5114707/

If you don't like that particular article, there are many others on that google page.

So, now that you know how to do it, may I suggest that you search, all by yourself, for the data on Herpes?

And a query: WHY would you want "anecdotal data", from dudes on prostitute review sites, when actual data from real scientific studies are readily available? (SMH! )

Given this is a Boston thread I was looking for anecdotal data because it is local data.

Specifically the study you gave estimated 17% with an average polling on 150 ish but provided no differentiation between streetwalkers vs parlors or much about specific location. The herpes 1/2 prevelance studies I clicked on from google indicated 60/74% for London and x /60-73% for China based on age.

HIV is extremely, extremely, unheard of rare if it's male - female intercourse. If you're sharing needles or doing bb anal you might have significantly higher risk, but the data is pretty clear that EVEN IF a woman has HIV it's extremely difficult to contract it via vaginal sex.

Herpes (HSV1/2) is asymptomatic the majority of the time in the majority of the population so this is nearly impossible to even venture a guess on.

HIV citation: https://stanfordhealthcare.org/medic...-exposure.html.

While average HIV no condom transmission is 0. 04% 1/2500 on average for HIV, that's after diagnosis / the acute stage- At the peak of the acute stage its estimated to be x26 for able to transmit or 1/96 cases which is really low especially with condoms only bumping that up to 1/331 71% protection or 1/881 if circumcision actually provides 60% protection on top of condoms.

Meanwhiel Genital Herpes can / does significantly increase the chance of HIV transmission and Herpes is in itself a 1/10 to 1/33 (with condom) chance of spreading.

Herpes increase the chance of HIV infection by 3-4 x dropping HIV to a 1/32,1/111,1/200 risk.

As of my last blood test I was clean of HSV1 and 2 so trying figure out statistically the chances of ruining my medical record and / or offing myself I'd I get HIV LOL.

Also we can probably estimate the sex worker Herpes rated if we knew by the monger Herpes rate. :

How common are HIV and Herpes in this Hobby?

Probably more than the average population but I'm curious what anadotal evidence says.

The Manet Community Health Center of Taunton, Ma, offers a walk-in STD clinic on some days of the week, with anonymous and free / reduced rate services. See their website for details: https://www.manetchc.org/.

I just wanted to share a process for totally anonymous testing to hopefully ease the stress for someone.

I went through stdcheck.com.

The test was 139 for everything. I put in fake information.

I got a visa gift card on vanillagift.com for exactly 139. I did use my real credit card for this.

I went to a Labcorp site in Waltham. I did a drop in with no appointment.

Stdcheck tells you to print out and bring some papers but no one ever looked at them. I just ended up shredding them.

When I got there I put my fake info into the kiosk. There was one point where it didn't like my address but I was able to tell it to ignore that.

They called my name and took blood and urine and I left. The people taking the samples have no idea why you are there. They do lots of other testing for job applicants and many other things.

Within the next two days the results showed up on the website.

Highly recommend! Go get tested.

Feel free to ask any questions.

Just did this myself three weeks ago. Highly recommend.

Anyone had FS with a provider that has an IUD in them? I recently saw SW Kass and she felt different inside compared to other days. I asked if she had something inside and she told me she has an IUD device. Weird feeling, plus I go BB on her, almost a poking feeling that somewhat distracts the session.

I had one with IUD. I didn't feel anything poking at me. Maybe you have a big dick. I notice their is some blood.

[Mattis1775]

You shouldn't be able to feel it, that's a sign that it's not properly placed.

Stay safe, and happy hunting.

I wouldn't be surprised since it's most likely done at a city hospital or community clinic by a new Doctor.

No personal experience but they have strings for removal that may be felt on occasion.

Great Intel. Thank you. Definitely encourage testing.

The problem with ANON is that if they detected something serious, HIV or Syphilis, the state's CDC will be looking for you. Obviously, it will lead to a dead end with all the fake information you provided. But I don't know how long or hard they will try to find you.

[Mattis1775]

So what's the best time frame to get tested?

Just go get tested. Forget about the timeframe or whatever your research is telling you. There are several free locations, BMC, MGH and community centers. At least get a baseline.
