The CDC keeps re-wording their stats and consider HSV1 and HSV-2 in their STD's stats now as you can get HSV-1 on your genital area, same as HSV-2.
90% of all adults by age 50 get "fever blisters", generally considered to be HSV-1. The thinking has changed in the medical community how much herpes in the genital are is HSV-1 or 2 because of advanced testing capabilities in the last decade.
1 in 5 women have HSV-2 previously defined as genital herpes.
1 in 14 men have HSV-2.
These stats include you sister, mom, dad, grandparents, nuns, etc.
The highest risk groups are teens and sex workers. Therefore, the stats would be higher in among prostitutes and johns to make up for your mom, grandma, etc..
Condoms help, but do not cover the pelvis, and anus areas, common areas of infection. Your balls and pelvis are gonna slap one of those areas during intercourse. HSV-2 can also be found around and inside the mouth.
Point is, it's a dangerous playground.
I have never heard of anyone taking themselves out of the game because of it. You think a provider is going to quit and get a job at IHOP?
You think some sex addict who can't get laid without paying for it is going to give a fuck about possibly infecting a hooker. He might blame hookers for it and keep hobbying; part of the cost of doing business. Why do you think certain hobbyists are Welcome Wagon chasers?
Wake the fuck up. Eccie is not any cleaner because of screening. There is no medical screening. Porn stars only required to get tested for HIV. Other diseases run rampant in the porn industry according to my friends in the industry.
And please don't tell me you get tested monthly when you can't even pay your cell phone, rent, or car payment on time. I'm not that fucking stupid.
edited to add:
The OP mentioned SS. Stripper slides - rubbing each others genitals all over each other with actually penetration (much). That is not any safer than BB intercourse. Get real.
