several years ago during a first meet with a popular provider, I asked if he'd been tested lately because he'd done some bareback video work a couple years earlier (and there'd been some chatter around).....despite it being a first meet, he instantly pulled out a recent testing results sheet with his real full name on it and showed it to me......
as discussed upthread, a level of trust is established at some point......I much prefer chatty, kick-back, good-buddy meets and, once a provider realizes I'm a nice guy and not an ax-murderer, I presume they're more comfortable with opening up a bit and I'm grateful that we can hang out and chat using real names......
