This is the same OP that asked about the ATF going thru his wallet.

Sheesh...and he needs to ask this question?

Hopefully the OP figures this out quickly or I'm afraid we'll hear some really "exotic" story on the next asinine chapter of "John...the really dumb hobbyist"!

I've banged a few ATFs bareback & been lucky.  I'd dump her. Herpes IS contagious even if no outbreaks are visible. I'm assuming this is vaginal herpes & not oral?  I'd move on. Condoms don't assure 100% safety friend.

Do you have a wife or S.O.?

You'll make her an EX ATF !  

It's not a wife or S.O. and you're not going to marry this girl. Too many CLEAN girls to risk this shit.

HERPES IS FOR LIFE !   No Cure !

...That is not to say that there are also many gentlemen out there as well who don't know or don't give a damn and play anyway.

This whole "I'm a guy who gets tested once a month, or once every three months" is in my overall opinion a BS statement.  

If the actual hobbyist visits to the testing clinics were somehow verified and logged I would guess that the percentage score of actual clinical visits to be extremely low.

Simply showing up for your yearly physical will NOT tell you everything you want to know about your overall health.

Some std screenings require specialized tests that actually look for their presence in order to find the infection. Herpes is one of them.

To some providers, there is no other means to making this kind of money and there is NO intention to stop whether infected or not.

It has been said before and will be repeated again, Prescription medications and condoms do not protect you against contracting this disease.

I am clean and healthy and disease free for the sake of those wondering. I visit a free, local, anonymous clinic in my area that does a comprehensive testing for a donation of your choice. It is easy.

I do however know others in this lifestyle, both male and female who are not so lucky.

For any of us it could be just a matter of time.

The incidence rate for Genital Herpes is probably much higher for those of us in this lifestyle. Scary!

I have been seeing my ATF for a long time now and she is very comfortable with me. She has the honesty to tell me she has herpes because she knows I am married and doesn't want me to bring anything home. She told me she takes acycolvir twice a day and it controls her outbreaks. Should I stop seeing her?? How risky is it for me to catch herpes too? I haven't caught it so far and we do bbbj dfk and daty all the time. Any tips to avoid catching herpes?

still catch it even if she is not in a middle of an outbreak.Quite risky the activities you are involved in I would advise to do cover up everything and no DATY!

Hey is this the same ATF that went through your Walet?
I'd be gone gondy, and done dondy!

First thing, I want to praise her for letting you know that she had herpes. I had a similar experience. I had seen an ATF for a while, then one day, I saw her, and she had herpes on her lip. I ask her, and she said it was a cold sore. I am no fool and study this in college. Anyways, I use to DATY, let her BBBJ me, and DFK. When I saw her at the current session, I said, eee, didn't know what to do. Didn't want to leave abruptly, and told her, lets to cover up for everything. She knew my intentions, and I just hit that quickly as possible, skip the BJ, and got the hell out.

Anyways, I waited for about two weeks thinking, WTH. Why didn't she tell me, but I could understand her condition. But at least inform so we can practice it safer. Anyways, it was time for my appointment with my doctor. I had explained to him about my hobby, and he informed me to leave her alone. He showed me pictures and everything of Herpes, and she had something similar on her lip. I got tested as usually, went back about two weeks later for the results. And somehow I was negative for all STD/HIV. Didn't know what to think, I would assume that she had just picked it up recently. She would occasionally call me to visit her, but I skipped on her.

Dude, I don't care how good she was, emotionally or physically. Its time to move on. Its like playing Russian roulette. You want to put yourself into that position? Anyways, I praise her for letting you know, but my advice, move the hell on and be careful about the hobby.

She is very likely not the only one you have fucked who had it.  And these other guys have fucked girls with it as well, even if they don't know it.  Lots and lots of people are carriers and don't even know they have it.

feel better by thinking that you've avoided it despite your hobbying.  Really, you're just deluding yourself.  Get the facts.

forget strike two its strike one she should not be working in that condition so she doesnt pass it along the next person

Ooops, I think it was spelled Hair Piece. lmao

Everyone in this hobby should be well aware of the risks of contracting a STD. Condoms are not 100% preventative.
Condoms will prevent the more serious of STD's if used properly.
In my opinion (and I hate to state this) is that DATY is risky only because the mouth is susceptible to abrasions, open sores etc. How many of you brush the teeth vigorously, use floss or even just bite the inside of the lip or cheeks. This would open up a portal of delivery for most virus. There is a school of thought that the enzymes in saliva de-activate many viruses, but I am not 100% convinced of that theory.
I "rarely" DATY with providers, and when I do, I try to use a method that will decrease the amount of her fluids that enter my oral cavity.
I just assume that all providers and civies for that matter have something I don't want to catch.

You do know that a cold sore IS a form of herpes... HSV-1

I love smart women. Hey Nikkey!!!

Condoms don't protect against herpes or HPV (Says it on the box). They normally live OUTSIDE of what you're wrapping up! I'd dump her ASAP.
Your heart hasn't bled until you saw a baby with da herp. Google herpes stomatitis or children with herpes. Once i was working at a children's hospital and there was a baby with herpes of the mouth that was a ward of the state. DAMN DAMN DAMN. JUS SAD!!!!! Can you imagine not being able to kiss your kids? Your grandbabies? OMG. My eyes are watering jus' thinking about it! No one would hold the ward of the state baby and this was a CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL!

But... Herpes is one of the oldest documented viruses... It's actually an interesting bug. SEVENTY PERCENT OF HUMANS CARRY ORAL HERPES! It is just interesting. still, I pray to God that i never meet it !

Bet the OP and most of the posters on this board do as well.

Oh, and if you get tested on the regular, and request to be tested for EVERYTHING(as they should ask you what you want to be tested for specifically), you will also get tested for herpes. Even if you've never shown or had a symptom in your life, and your just a carrier, it will still appear in your test results.. as will HPV, even if showing no symptoms.

Met this girl. Like almost 20 years ago. Hotter than fuck. Blonde, big tits, killer body, liked to party, actually a great lady whom I found very attractive both inside and out. Her BF was a male stripper. What I was told was he gave her herpes, fucking with some of his 'clients'.

Anyway, they broke up because of it because she was disgusted he would do such a thing to her. But she was 'labeled' as having herpes because of him and his extracurricular activities.

I always thought that if I contracted herpes, I'd get a hold of her somehow. Not to be a wise-ass, but because I figured if we both had it, WTF? I mean, we're already fucked as far as the general population. So why not just hook up and see what happens personal-wise?

I don't know. It's cool and a good thing to share stories, experiences, personal knowledge and shit with everybody here.

What are going to do until it happens to you, I guess is what I'm saying.

Is she still providing?? That's the scarier question here.

Of course you shouldn't see her anymore! Are you nuts??

Any person having herpes should not work.  No one guy or girl that has herpes should be in this profession without full disclosure.  I know of a provider that has it and I steer clear of any guy that has reviewed her.  Unfortunately, not everyone writes reviews.
