if you pick your partner to be a 25 year old female sex worker, she has a 12% chance of having HIV, 3% chance of having HPV (6 or 11), 13% chance of having HPV (16 or 18), 2% chance of having chlamydia, 1% chance of having gonorrhoea, 100% chance of herpes (type 1) and 80% chance of herpes (type 2)
Can this be right?
So in sex workers HIV rate is higher than Chlamydia or gonorrhoea. Again 100% have Herpes type 1. I can refute that as have paid to be tested for both and my system was clear of both types of Herpes (I have never once had a cold sore) and I am a sex worker so that ruins the 100% figure. I also know a hell of a lot of girls who have contracted Chlamydia in this job, normally of the throat yet none who have HIV. Chlamydia is much easier spread than HIV so that alone would mean the risk would be higher yet that statement give HIV a 6times higher rate.
It is also been stated many times by health officials that just 50% of everyone who has had sex has contracted some form of HPV.
The four forms listed above are the mainly talked about forms as they all cause warts but a couple of them cause cancer. What about the other 36 types that cause genital warts. Why are there no percentages for them. I should imagine the rate to be around 20- 25% when it comes to A HPV strand that causes warts as these are by skin to skin contact and condoms don't stop it and many men get the but think they re normal growths as start like a very small bump much like you often see on a penis.
There is no possible way even if every gum clinic in the country got together to get accurate results as a large percentage of prossies wont tell the gum clinic they get paid for sex as they don't want to be judged, this also means of course they wont be getting throat swabs either as these are rarely offered to those who don't participate in paid sex so again results would be skewed as loads with an infection of the throat wont even know.
Basically you have to look at it as if you have a 50% chance of catching all of the above with every person you see and protect yourself accordingly.. I assume every client I see may well have something or more than one thing and I protect myself and only take risks that are acceptable to me
