just starting out ... advice wanted

[forcablestudent]

I am just about to be signed up with a major adult talent company. I am getting my HIV/STI certificates done as well as hep B vacine. I am unclear as to how regularly I need to get tested and how lond HIV/STI certificates are considered to be valid... can anyone answer this question?

Also I am wary about the health risks involved. I may be being alarmist. Does anyone have any reasurance/warnings or just general experience of what the risks are in this field? Its hetrosexual work I should add. Any advice good or bad would be most welcome.

Many thanks.

You need your certs done every 30 days... there are no guarantees I am afraid, soemone can be tested one day then sleep with a random the next...

Aint been in the game long, and certainly not the adult end, sure some one out there can give you more accurate advice... I am sure there are plenty who have had the odd scare... and contracted the odd STD... guess it goes with the job !

Every 28 days though some major adult companies require you be inside 10 days.

For everything else about stds etc look no further than the links here:

thanky, actually find it reassuring that tests are so frequent

.... just a query... as the tests take atleast 10 days to process. Is the 28 days counted from the point of recieving the results or from taking the test... otherwise a test would be needed every 14 days as test results will always have this delay.

Its possible to take private tests but these still take a week or so and they are very expensive?

Still a little confused on this?

There are places that turn the tests around far quicker than 10 days... but what ever time they take that is obviously lost time you could of been working... basically you still have to work it 28 days from when your tested not when you get the results...
