Advice on escorts and STD's
Hi. Going to be visiting an agency girl soon (a thai one), and wondering about HIV specifically. Are escorts who work for agencies often checked for infection? Because I am aware that (for some strange reason) in asian cultures such as in Thailand people are either unaware or maybe just don't care about practicing safe sex, and are obviously notorious for this.
Would you advise getting checked out at a clinic even just after one encounter or is the risk low enough to just leave it unless symptoms are eventually found?
Sorry if this post sounds stupid, don't really know how it works.
Thanks, I'd really appreciate any feedback

Re: Advice on escorts and STD's
Hiya bob:
Not sure about the agency & checking - perhaps some of the more experienced members who have used their services can help with that.
Regarding HIV specifically - the risk of transmission will be based on what activities you perform and if a person is HIV +ve, what their viral load is, so it varies, but is usually quite low. It is highest when receiving unprotected anal sex.
Symptoms of HIV can be nil / vague e.g. feeling a bit under the weather and so if you ever have a risky encounter where you are concerned, better to go to a GUM clinic. The usual blood test done won't give a definite negative until around 3months post the encounter, so often if its very risky behaviour the option of post-exposure prophylaxis meds is discussed.
hope that helps - remember a person could have other STIs apart from HIV too!

Re: Advice on escorts and STD's
Thanks very much for the advise/info, very helpful.
True, but I'm mainly concerned about HIV as it's pretty much a death sentence right.
I'm going to be safe where the actual intercourse Is concerned, and I never get ill/feel under the weather so I'd presume I'd notice.
I suppose I'd have to end up going anyway for own peace of mind.

Truvada is an PrEP which the CDC ranks as being UP TO 92% effective if used consistently and as directed. It does not protect other STDs. The effectiveness of condoms against HIV transmission are ranked somewhere between 90% to 95% . As with anything else, the probability of HIV infection rises with number of exposures.

^ Um....I'm talking about taking a drug to make sure you WON'T get infected. Also, just because you are taking truvada doesn't mean you have to bareback. It's useful for bareback fans like me, but also for people who worry to damn much to begin with.
