Just an FYI for you, but when I was first considering meeting TS providers a few years ago, I did some research about the health risks and decided to get vaccinated for Hepatitis B&A. I was told at the time that after a series of three different vaccinations spread out over about 8 months I be fully immunized. So I did, and started meeting providers not worrying about that particular risk. I decided to start 2009 with a STD check and had a blood test done this past week. It turns out even after the full immunization protocol I paid for, that I am not fully immune. Bummer. I dodged a bullet, because I have had some pretty risky sexual experiences. I am going back for boosters to fix the problem, but If I hadn't had the blood test taken, I never would have known.

It's called a Titer----things can fail, so do check ever so often.

It's probably a good idea for hobbiests to get vaccinated for Hep A & B, particularly for those who like to give rimjobs.

From what I've read, giving rimjobs is a high risk behavior for getting hepatitis A & B. However, I don't think receiving a rimjob is risky to the receiver.

I think providers should definitly get vaccinated.
