STd's/STI

Hello all

Just getting peoples opinions. Do people get themselves tested very often or at all?

Also from peoples experiences do people consider unprotected oral sex....giving and recieving.......to be a risky business??

Tested ? Are you mad ?
I think you'll find that the ladies get themselves tested regularly but the punters don't as a rule. I'm a blood donor & get mine checked every 3 mths. as a result. I don't do it to get tested but it's a nice perk.
There is no conclusive information on transfer of STDs through oral. Personally I've read enough to feel at ease letting a girl suck on my bare willy & just love going down on a willing pussy.

HPV Cancer Human Papilloma Virus Mouth Cancer Oral Sex

I heard some doctors discussing this new discovery on telly last week.
Apparently, the more partners, the more risk!

I'd just like to say, it is not really a rule, that guys don't get tested........... It is everybodies responsibilities to take care of their own sexual health......... ;) Yes, escort generally will get tested on a regular bases, but it doesn't hurt for you guys to walk your cocks to the clinic time and time again. I'd suggest you do some research on the subject yourself, at one of the clinics would be a great start. They are generally friendly, and trust me they have seen it all before.... so don't strees before you go.... plus you will forget half the questions you wanted to ask....

Clients who visit escorts on a very regular basis I suppose should go to clinics to get checked. If their seeing alot of different escorts.

and if you are just seeing the one escort..... that escort is seeing a lot of different clients.... so almost the same thing.

No harm in going either which way. Helps you to make a choice for yourself about yur do's and don'ts with escorts and in your personal life too.... so take your spud gunns for a "grilling" boys..... lol :D

Anyone have any info on using antibiotics and the like to try to destroy something you might get really early...? Obviously not to be done on a regular basis....
.
.

I've been tested a couple of times.

Usually brought about by anxiety. (condom breaking during anal sex being one of the more anxiety inducing moments).

I like OWO but generally avoid it as my previously mentioned anxiety levels usually get the better of me.

Kat was very helpful in this regard once by being sympathetic to my anxiety and texting me when she got her next clear test- Thanks for that Kat.

I generally rationalise to myself that protected sex is safe and so don't get tested once I remain within the "safe" subset.

I don't really think there are figures for oral sex but as there are instances of oral syphilis and gonorrhea, there's only one way they got there!


I go to Derek Freedman in Ranelagh who is an GP/specialist in the STD area. (ph 4978327)

give up giving blood, read the questions before you donate! having your blood tested for std's/diseases is there for the receipents benefit, ie a person that is having major surgery, they receive a blood transfusion and your disease std or not can kill them due to a very weak immune system

the questions you answer at the start are to important for idiots/ people who should know better to be messing with. nads your wreckless.:mad:

Dear All,

It is everyone's responsability to take care of their own general health, sexual included.

I used to give blood too before I became an escort, actually even before that. As one of the condition to be able to give blood, is if you are or have been in a long term relationship for the last 3 months, hence you don't qualify if you are not in an exclusive relashionship or if you are single but playing the field.

The main reason why someone whould like to give blood, is to help save somebody else's life, not endanger it!!! So if you can't reply no to questions 13, 16 & 17 on the following link, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't put someone at risk by giving your blood!

The National Blood Service - do something amazing donate Blood

That said, it is a fact that escorts do check themselves more than anyone else, mainly due to the fact that our body and health is our main tool for work, and without it functioning at its best, we simply cannot work, at least not in that field.

I do get tested every 3 months and recently took a HPV test (to determine if you have cervical cancer - what Jade Goody is currently suffering from), which was negative, and then took a HPV vaccine treatment to make sure I won't get it. There are 2 types of vaccines: Gardasil and Cervirex.

HPV Vaccine | Cervical Cancer | HPV UK | HPV Infection & Immunisation | HPV Dating | Human Papilloma Virus | Genital Warts | Cervarix | Gardasil

Gardasil protects women against 4 main types of HPV 6, 11, 16 & 18; while Cervirex protects only against two, 16 & 18.

The vaccine is in 3 times, I had my 1st one in February, the 2nd one is due next month, 2 months after the 1st one, and the 3rd one 6 months after the 1st one. They cost about £130 each but your life is worth so much more! That said you still should get screened regularly as Gardasil protects women only against the 4 main HPV forms out of the 100 existing.

Only women get access to the vaccine, because it is to prevent cervical cancer, which only concerns women. Men can be carrying the HPV virus without realising it as there are no symptoms, and they can even flush it away out of their body from one month to the next but they might have passed it on a woman or many women before that. In other words a man carrying the HPV virus is like a mosquito quarrying malaria, they can pass it on without having any bad effect whatsoever themselves. BUT IT DOES MATTER TI THE WOMEN THEY PASSED IT ON TO AS THEY CAN DEVELOP CERVICAL CANCER.

MORE IMPORTANTLY HPV CAN BE PASSED ON FROM SKIN TO SKIN, NOT FLUID TO FLUID, SO CONDOMS DON'T PROTECT YOU.

HENCE WHY IT IS ESSENTIAL FOR EVERYONE TO GET TESTED REGULARLY.

I ENCOURAGE EVERY ESCORT TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH YOUR GP TO GET THE HPV TEST FIRST THEN THE SET OF 3 VACCINES.

DON'T BE THE NEXT JADE GOODY IF YOU CAN AVOID IT.

Have fun doing your job, but be safe doing it, always!

Very informative Emily.

This would'nt happen to be the same vaccination program that the government will not now be implementing for 14/15 year old girls in order to save a crummy 14 million or so.

A 50% pay cut across the board for Oireachtas members would probably raise that amount. Some of the female members of the Dail should grab their male colleagues by the balls and give them a good shake.

I threw the blood donor thing in there to see if anyone would pick me up on it. I know that it is highly wreckless & wouldn't be so stupid even if I could give blood. But alas, as I've had jaundice they wouldn't let me anyway.
I hope that doesn't take the wind out of your righteous sails.

i was involved in that gonorrhea scare in galway last summer. freaked the fuck out of me at the time. tests came back all clear. since then i''ve realised the importance of getting checked up. at the moment i'm waiting on the results of another test. should have it back on wednesday

all interesting replies.

Ive recently visited an escort for the first time and I intend it to be my only time. Was just something I wanted to try once. Had OWO performed on me and performed oral on the escort aswell as rimming. I didnt have full sex with the escort. I know the risks of the activities I did are probably low but should I get tested?

Rimming and muffing on your first punt ? -- kinky little fecker, you need more than testing,
you need certifying -- R.I.P. ha ha!!

Obviously, if you are thinking about it and took the time to post the question here, then you are a little worried. so my answere is yes then...


Just puzzeled.... I had a look at that give blood site.... and obviously had to lie at some of the questions.... if I was to give up this job and had not had sex for lets say a year... why wouldn't I be eligable to give blood then????

I doubt my gp would do a blood test for hpv... I have to beg them there for anything.... that clinic you posted is in Birmingham.... do you know any places in London for the vacine....

Good advice ladies.... I scam them on my smear test... I think you should get it 1 time every year, rather then every 3 years.... so I go one year to a well women clinic, next year at the GU clinic, next year at the GP :D:D .... so they think you are due.... and obviously I don't admitt, that I had one the year before someplace else.... the 3 places are in 3 different pct's (areas) mae sure you tell the wellwomen clinic and the gu clinic, that you don't want them to contact your gp... as they might wire down your results then...

There is a young punter named Dave,
who yielded to a perverted crave,
his downfall was rimming,
but this will stop his grinning,
cos he`s bound for a premature grave !!

Look,you are insecure about this one.........
Just get checked,as one time more not going to do harm.............also..........you ll feel secure on this one........


So do get checked for your own peace of mind
