Can you explain your reasoning please?The Indies on the site I'm sure.
The agency girls?
Girls who advertise themselves on other platforms = no
I would expect girl from agencies to be under stricter surveillance

From what I understand, if the agencies do not pay for the tests.From what I've been told, they aren't. It's their own responsibility to get tested.
From my discussions with some of them about the topic I would say most get tested regularly (1-3 months). The ones who have been in the business for several months or more, indy or not, tend to be more informed about STIs and hence get tested more regularly. One thing for sure, *do not* expect escort agencies to enforce any policies around testing. They don't care. It is also our responsibility as clients to get tested regularly.From what I understand, if the agencies do not pay for the tests.
What percentage of these girls get tested?
Maybe around 50%??
If you don't do bbfs with multiple partners (which I hope you don't!) every two weeks is not realistic. The cost and hassle would be too much vs the risk level. Everyone should speak with a healthcare professional to find the ideal testing frequency in one's situation.To get tested:
- every 2 weeks = ideal
- once a month = very good
- once every 3 months = much too long
- never = irresponsible, pathetic, think only of money, don't
Do you know any guys who ask for the BBFS?If you don't do bbfs with multiple partners (which I hope you don't!) every two weeks is not realistic.

I was talking in general terms.... No I don't, but they exist!Do you know any guys who ask for the BBFS?
We're talking about escorts who meet a lot of different men.
I spoke of the ideal, the ideal means very little.
I think once a month is very good.
+1. Whether and how often she test is really irrelevant to the hobbyist. Any testing she does is for her benefit. If you are concern about STD and partake in the hobby, then you should be testing.From my discussions with some of them about the topic I would say most get tested regularly (1-3 months).

Again it’s for her benefit not yours. Why the heck would any hobbyist even “outsource” this to the provider? That is essentially what you are doing if you are not testing yourself. You take all the downside of not catching something early.Not irrelevant if you prefer to see SP's who are serious about taking care of their own health.
I’m not following how you can arrive at “statistically lower risk” without assuming she will not work after receiving a positive result.@transatlantic I get your point and I support clients getting tested (as mentioned) but it is not "irrelevant" whether she gets tested frequently or not. Statistically she will be a lower risk to you than a comparable provider who doesn't get tested and who has the same client volume.
I did make that assumption. It would be foolish on their part to not wait until the end of their treatment before resuming work (knowingly spreading disease ?!), but yeah, I guess it can happen.I’m not following how you can arrive at “statistically lower risk” without assuming she will not work after receiving a positive result.
There’s no code of conduct that requires provider to pause work until she finish treatment. There’s no requirement for provider to follow a regular schedule of testing either. She can say she test every month but there’s no way you can verify that either.

I am very aware of the situation. As I worked in hospitals, until I retired, I did tests regularly.Weird that you seem to put the responsibility only on escorts. I doubt our clients only think about money and don't think of their customers when they don't get tested Also a little bizarre that you think agency vs merb indy vs other sites makes a difference. I got tested regularly even before I discovered merb. I know girls in agencies who get tested regularly as well. This is irrelevant.
I also agree with Transatlantic. I get tested for myself. Not for you. You shouldn't just rely on the fact that we get tested. It is your job, for your own health, to get tested regularly as well.
On another note, I'm confused about the post above that talks about bringing up the STI subject with parents. I got throat chlamydia once as a teenager. I got tested, and got a phone call with the result. They never told my parents. I told my mom on my own because I wanted her to buy my meds, lol. But if I hadn't told her she would have never known. I'm so confused, has this changed? Or was I just lucky that they only gave *me* my results?
Julia I never said that it was only the responsibility of women to get tested.This is none of your business, and you missed a few tests in your enumeration.
No, I promise I don't get tested for my clients. They have to get tested for themselves. I get tested for myself, nobody else. Why do you keep talking like it's only our responsibility and not also the responsibility of clients to get tested?
