I just remind myself that every provider may very well be positive and have STIs and, in response, religiously take my daily PReP and get tested regularly.
I am not specifically exposing anyone.
However, on rentmen during this year, one particular provider was "rentmen of the day" twice.
That same escort has been advertising for many years on rentmen. Two years ago, his ad used to state that he was HIV +.
Now, his ad does not say anything about his HIV + status.
I believe some States in the U.S. require sex workers (and certain others) to disclose their HIV-positive status. There is a criminal penalty in those states for failure to disclose prior to a sex act with another person.
I do not know if the person is using PREP which would somewhat expiate for his failure to be truthfully disclosed.
I also do not know if the person verbally tells a potential client of his HIV status prior to any meeting.
It was certainly shocking for me to see the "rentmen of the year" (twice for this same provider) omit his previously disclosed HIV status.
The bottom line is do not believe everything that is written (or not written) in a provider's advertisement.
That sums up my suspicion about escorts completely. And probably theirs about me, although I do try to be honest in all my affairs. My sense is that there’s no way to convince an escort you’re honest. They suspect the worst – or shady intent – from the get-go.
Early on in life an older and wiser woman taught me there are two things people always lie about...money and sex. So here we have someone making money by doing sex work. And anyone is surprised that some people lie? Protect yourself boys.
