STD Testing

So, providers...and hobbyists, for that matter...if you get a positive test result, do you notify your hobby partner(s)? Originally Posted by bviguy

Pretty much my take. Even if there isn't a "rule" about that somewhere here in hobby-land, it seems like both the courteous and safe thing to do.

There are Providers who have been Providing safely for many years.

Again, this is pretty much my take. I've been in the hobby for less than a year and have restricted my activity to established providers. Two reasons: 1) I'm not into the cheerleader set (I've got a 20-something daughter and the thought of seeing someone about her age just pings the creep meter), and; 2) It seems like the worst thing that could happen to a provider is have the word get out they gave a client an unwanted gift. Not saying it couldn't happen...s**t does...but it just made sense to me that if a Provider has been around a while, she'd have figured out how to play safely.

Kisses, doll.

There's also the personal security risks of handing someone sheets of paper with your full name, address, doctor's office, etc. on them (especially a risk for the ladies, who don't regularly give out that info as clients may have already done for screening). Besides, as others have mentioned, they can be forged. .... Originally Posted by Carrie Hillcrest

So technically, if for whatever reason someone would like to see someone's STD test results, you can hand them the piece of paper to match the State ID number on the certificate along with the ID number on your ID. (Can cover your name and address with your hand if need be, since you are only matching numbers)

I really like this method, at least in the adult video industry, and they actually do it that way for the reason that you stated above.
