Last year over 35,000 people were killed in car accidents. Need to stop driving.
Last year over 270,000 pedestrians were killed. Just walking down a street or road. Need to stay in the house.
I could go on with this list forever. Point is wouldn't it be a shame to find out, on the last night of my life; I'd spent the rest of it being afraid of everything. No kissing (exchange of body fluids); no BBBJ (exchange of body fluids); no DATY (exchange of body fluids).
I am not advocating for total disregard for a little common sense, but, please, what is the good of life if you don't live?

Point being, there is nothing to be lost but money by playing it safer for a short while. I upped my safety considerably this week due to heightened concern over the Ebola case in Dallas. Once the incubation period has passed and there is zero chance of more cases popping up, I will go back to normal but I will be more diligent about screening for any sniffles or fever overall. I simply cannot afford (schedule-wise) to be sick even with a cold. I have way too much going on to be laid up for even a few short days.
Yes I could get hit by a car or die in a car accident, but I decrease the likelihood considerably by wearing my seatbelt and being a responsible driver. I also take care not to be careless as a pedestrian which also ups my chances of survival. Being a responsible hooker is no different.
CDC estimates that 1,144,500 persons aged 13 years and older are living with HIV infection, including 180,900 (15.8%) who are unaware of their infection.
Blacks represent approximately 12% of the U.S. population, but accounted for an estimated 44% of new HIV infections in 2010. They also accounted for 44% of people living with HIV infection in 2009. Unless the course of the epidemic changes, at some point in their lifetime, an estimated 1 in 16 black men and 1 in 32 black women will be diagnosed with HIV infection.

I agree with GBFS , you can't live being afraid of everything out there. The chance of getting something from BBBJ is so small that you have a better chance of getting hit by lighting and attacked by a bear at the same time. For the price provides charge BBBJ is the bench mark.

The soft tissue at the back of the throat is more susceptible to HIV transmission than even the retina in your eye. Performing DATY is also higher risk than bbbj from the guy's point. Like the OP said, all those vagina secretions in your mouth... If she has an STD that can live in the throat or pass into your blood stream somehow then you are at risk.
No one discusses these things because it is uncomfortable and we all have an invincible quality to us to some degree (or we wouldn't be here). Do what you are comfortable doing.
Stay informed and make good decisions. Just like anything else.
