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.
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!
I'm not sure what the issue is. If the CDC says that 1 in 6 have it - then that's about 17%. Estimates for the porn industry are anywhere from 60-90%. So, yes, genital herpes is far more common in the porn industry than in the general population. Fuck a woman in a bar and there's a 1 in 6 chance that you are exposed. Fuck a porn star, and it's anywhere from a coin toss to a guaranty that you're exposed.
