Your risk of getting it is still not high in the big picture, but in my mind, it is higher than it would be with other top escorts.
You have to judge the risks for yourself, but I would be very careful with pornstars, especially if I were a married man. Most STD's you can clear up in short order and the wife will be none the wiser, but herpes is with you forever and the missus WILL find out.
"It is common knowledge that genital herpes is widespread among porn stars - far more common than in the general population."
Your statement is incorrect!
According to the CDC (center for disease control) "In the United States, about one out of every six people aged 14 to 49 years have genital herpes."
Let me put it this way...there's so many people with genital herpes, that even legal brothels in Nevada don't test their prostitutes for it. Why? Because not many, if any, would pass the STD testing for genital herpes.
Fuck a woman, with or without a condom, that you pick up in a bar...and the odds are high, you'll contract genital herpes.
Genital Herpes is NOT "far more common" in the porn community...it is a worldwide incurable epidemic!
So I'm looking into getting some time with a few major pornstars (Amber Rayne, Jennifer White, Jasmine Tame) - I have the money for it ,but am concerned about STDs and such. How do you make sure these ladies are in the clear? Is there a way to verify this before meeting with them?
You could always ask to see their test results . If they are active in porn they have to have current test results less then 15 days old . They probably get tested a hell of a lot more then you do .

They're probably more concerned about you than you should be about them. If they're actively working in the industry then they're being tested regularly. This shouldn't be anything to be overly concerned about with these providers. They'll likely even produce their latest test results upon request. Particularly if you're willing to provide yours in return.
Thanks guys - that's very reassuring and does make sense! Hoping I can land some time with Angel Dark here in the next couple of weeks 
I wouldn't bother with Jasmine Tame. I've had two bookings with her and she's blown me off twice. I haven't lost money (fortunately) but still, dealing with her seemed a waste of time.
It is common knowledge that genital herpes is widespread among porn stars - far more common than in the general population. It is also not included in the standard medical test unless there are lesions present. Depending on the source, the infection rate is anywhere from 60-90%. And condoms, as we know, do not provide full protection against this disease, and it can be transmitted even when there are no lesions present.
