does not mean you will have caught something from her.  If she was an obvious bait and switch, you would have been totally justified in turning around and leaving before anything happened.  Since you didn't do that, take it as you said, lesson learned.  Next time, be more thorough in your research of the provider before making the date.

Google std or search on this board for std.  NIH has articles you should read. BTW, you can get an STD from any provider, even ones with great reviews.  

Keep not using the tools of this site, you will end up with a lot more to worry about than whether an unattractive or unclean provider gave you an std. Look, if the provider is bad, other hobbyists most likely fell into her trap. Some of those hobbyists would have written a review or may be willing to PM you if you make a query about the provider on your regional board.

all should be informed.

Reviews? Yes, there is a reason this site is called "the erotic REVIEW".  Use the reviews to avoid this type situation. Get VIP to read the details in reviews which is well worth the cost and less than 1 bad session.

does not mean they are good.  We've all seen providers ads link to (believe it or not) TERRIBLE reviews.  Now some well reviewed providers do this as well.   But the scammers figure guys are too horny, stupid, lazy (take your pick) to join TER & check it out.  

I START my shopping on TER recent reviews...  I read her profile, especially REAL PICTURES, Delivered as Promised.  I follow the ad links to see what pictures she has up.  I look for a variety of poses so that I can really know what she looks like.  Opposites are same pictures or similar views used over & over.  If she has a web site that's a plus.   Then I read the reviews.  The first one is suspect (in my view) unless by a vetran reviewer...  until confirmed by several later reviews.  I want to 6-10 reviews again with some by experienced reviewers.   There are scammers & good providers on every ad venue...    Research is how I sort them out.  Much more time efficient to start with TER than the ad sites.
