Hello,
I'm an educated scientist (physics, not infectious diseases) so I trust, rely on, and act on scientific facts from reputable and reliable sources. I consider the sources in this forum to be reputable and reliable. That sword cuts both ways. (The discussion below relates to me, a male, and sex with a female sex worker.)
I have been reading the information here for quite some time, and the conclusion that I have come to, based on the information here, is that unprotected receptive oral sex (felatio) is low risk for the male, and condom protected fellatio is essentially no risk for male (and female). This knowledge actually encouraged me to have riskier behavior. I received condom protected felatio from a female sex worker, I climaxed, and went on about my life without worry. About 2 weeks later, I started receiving condom protected felatio from a different female sex worker. It was working for me, so quickly in my mind, I reviewed all that I learned here that a male receiving unprotected felatio from a female is low risk, so after that quick analysis, I removed my condom, and proceeded to receive unprotected felatio from this female sex worker. It was aggressive, and my penis multiple times banged deep in the back of her throat. So the knowledge here is empowering, but in my case, it led to riskier behavior.
More information before I get to my questions. The second female sex worker, the one I received unprotected felatio from, is one that I plan to develop a relationship with. We plan to both get tested next Wednesday at a reputable clinic. The testing will be "comprehensive" and will cost $1,250 per person. I believe it will involve urine, blood, and visual examinations. This is a reputable clinic, so my guess is that this testing is as good as it gets.
When my parter gets her tests performed, I won't know how recently she had sex with someone else. It could have been the day before, or 3 months before. The clinic will provide same day results, and I am aware that the accuracy of these results depends on how recently the person had sex. Assuming worst case, that she had unprotected sex the day before test test with someone else, but assuming best case that I have sex with her day after the test results:
What are my risks for protected *and* unprotected penis into vagina sex?
What are my risks for performing cunnilingis?
What are my risks for receiving aggressive unprotected felatio?
How can I use regular testing to best effect when having regular sex with a sex worker?
(For what it's worth, this sex worker is "classy", and although I know she has sex clients, I believe she is very selective. She works primarily as a stripper.)
Thank you.
