Hey everyone, as someone somewhat new to the hobby, my biggest concern/fear is STDs. I'm happy to pay a significant premium for providers are completely clean but how do you go about assessing this? I usually check with them to ask if they are on PrEP and DoxyPEP and have been tested recently. This helps put me at ease.

Of course I understand that there is no way to be sure even if the provider is being 100% honest. I try to choose providers who seem more responsible/upscale but low volume so there is a lower likelihood of them not being honest or having caught anything between their last test and our session. I would like to think that providers take a break if they test positive for something but wouldn't be surprised if many continue through it.

How do you guys try to ensure that a provider is clean? I understand that there are no 100%'s in this hobby but it helps to have the probability on your side so I can use your advice. Thanks!
