There are literally hundreds of articles about Hepatitis B and prostitution on the web. Last time I went to the GUM clinic for my check up they advised me to have the Hep B vaccine since I see prostitutes regularly. Before they give you the vaccine though they test your blood to see if you are immune to Hep B. I can't remember the figures now but apparently there's a certain proportion of the population who are naturally immune - a very small proportion I must add.
Anyway this is from the NHS website on Hep B
External Link/Members OnlyThe hepatitis B vaccination is available on the NHS for anyone who is at increased risk of hepatitis B or its complications.
You can get infected with hepatitis B if you have contact with an infected person's blood or other body fluids. People at risk of hepatitis B and who should therefore consider vaccination are:
- people who inject drugs or have a partner who injects drugs
- people who change their sexual partners frequently
- men who have sex with men
- male and female sex workers
and the list goes on.
As always, however, each punter has to decide how careful they want to be when punting. If OWO is essential then go for it but always make sure to go for regular health checks. Personally I try to go for covered oral - although sometimes I do succumb to temptation.
Lastly, mate I'm not the best person to give advice as I'm not a health professional. When it comes to one's health it is always best to see a doctor. Just look at the range of answers on this thread, they vary from OWO is very safe to you will catch something really nasty from it.
You really need to go to a clinic and have a long chat with a doctor and be very honest. Tell them you see prostitutes regularly and ask whether you need the Hep B vaccine or not.
