If I got the antibody test and found I had already had it, that's when I would consider it.

This is a long story and I need to ask everybody's advice. I got sick twice this year with cold and flu symptoms. I am older and it is VERY rare for me to catch a cold. I had the flu shot last October and assume I couldn't get flu.

The first time I got sick was in late February. I had a meeting with someone at work that had just come back from overseas travel, and changed planes at the Tokyo airport. This person was sick when I met them with cough and fever. I got a cough and fever a few days later, it lasted a week, I didn't think much about it at the time and did NOT seek out testing. I also got a cough and fever in mid-March, I think from someone I know at a local gym. Same thing, I did NOT get testing since I never got more than a mild cough and maybe one fever chill.

The antibody test just came out in the area where I live. I was thinking about getting it. There are pluses and minuses:

Plus - If positive I wouldn't be worried about catching it. I could do whatever I want in my personal life.

Minus -if positive I would be worried my employer could find out. I have no idea how the employer would react.

What should I do?

The original question is "when will you hire again". The short answer is: not for a long time.

I work in a municipality that is heavily tourism dependent. Tourism has been crushed and there are heavy economic losses here. It will not come back anytime soon. So far my employer is doing OK, I still have a job, but I am worried about all the economic ramifications of the pandemic. I am worried about getting laid off later this year. I am cutting all unnecessary expenses, and saving every penny I can as a "rainy day fund" in case I get laid off.

I do NOT think the US economy will have a V-shaped recovery. I think the recovery will be long, slow and grinding. I am guessing that there are many more people like me, who will either choose or be forced to cut all discretionary spending.

Is there anyone else in my predicament? I assume there must be large numbers of other people who will NOT hire until the economy comes back and there is more job security.

I was supposed to go on a business trip to Atlanta in April this year. I was planning an after hours meeting with ConnorStevens. I sent him a check for $200 to prepay for one hour. The travel was cancelled because my employer is having fiscal austerity (polite for "financial problems").

I changed the plan with Connor to a one hour phone call since we would not meet in person. The one hour phone call was very meaningful. We discussed all sorts of topics such as weight training, how do I handle problems with my boyfriend, etc.

I am hoping that my employer does well enough financially to send me on travel in April, 2020. The home office is Atlanta. In looking through the rentmen ads I have not seen any better. I am into muscle worship and to me bigger is better.

The odds:

-Getting HIV while bottoming is 1/154 (.65%)

-Condom breaking is around 2-3% on the brands trojan and durex based on their yearly analysis

 

Since the efficacy of Prep is stated to be around 96%. This lowers the chance of getting infected to .0002%. Although recent scientific studies say it may have increased.

 

The odds of having the condom break while your on prep, and getting infected by HIV is... well you get the picture.

 

Although things to note is that the population size is quite smaller and not representative of the real world. So take the statistic with a grain of salt

I think the 2-3% condom failure rate quoted is for vaginal sex (the main purpose for these condoms, hence the failure rate that is quoted in the literature). My understanding is the condom failure rate for anal sex is 5 - 10 %.

To calculate the odds of the bad outcome you have to multiple the probability of all the failures that lead to the bad outcome:

5% condom failure rate x 4% PREP failure rate x .65% rate of transmission = about 1 in 77,000.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Sorry, @dauterman but I’m with the escort on this one. You should have at least picked out a date for the escort and a time you could be sure to meet. You stated that your meetings were from 8 am to 5 pm and perhaps a dinner obligation after that. Surely a dinner obligation would not run past 9 or 10 pm. It sounds like to me you were asking him to be available at your beck and call during your entire stay in Atlanta and have him turn down any other business that might come his way.

I am a newbie to hiring, but I read large numbers of posts on this message board before starting off. It was my understanding from reading these boards that almost all hiring is last-minute (i.e. phone calls made the same day as the hiring). Somebody correct me if I am wrong.

The escort I met - https://rent.men/connorstevens - was willing to play by this rulebook. The DAY of the meeting was known in weeks in advance but we set the TIME of the meeting rather last minute. If this worked for one escort why should it not work for the other? I consider this flexibility a big plus for the escort I met and that is part of the reason I would hire him again if I ever get to Atlanta again.

Aside from the scheduling issue, I did not like tparadiso's tone. I wouldn't call it rude, but it was not respectful either.

Sorry, @dauterman

Btw...I noticed you’re a newbie to the Forum. Are you also a newbie to hiring?

Yes. Like I said in the post, I live in a remote small town in the middle of nowhere. There are no escorts anywhere within a reasonable distance of here. Based on the nature of my business I can travel only once or twice a year. Most of those travel I do NOT meet anybody, due to scheduling issues, not liking any of the ads for whatever city for whatever days I will be there, etc.

Thanks for the advice. I could probably have set a firm time for a meeting starting at 9PM and would not have had schedule conflicts.

Sorry to hear of the exasperation you must have felt over the nonexistent-to-poor level of communication you experienced with Tparadiso.

But, I'll be very happy to see what you post about connorstevens. I've had my eye on his muscle assets for quite a while.

I sent you a Private Message with the details. Please check your inbox.

Hi,

I was in Atlanta for a business meeting August 23 to 27. I am from a small town with no escorts anywhere near here. I only get to travel once or twice per year due to the nature of my business.

I received notice of the travel in late June, 2018. I went through the rentmen ads for Atlanta and liked two enough to contact them. One was tparadiso with ad at:

https://rent.men/Tparadiso

I'll start by saying the E-mail conversation was not satisfactory and we NEVER MET. If this is all you need to know you can skip the rest of my post.

On or about August 3 I E-mailed tparadiso through the rentmen website and he replied he would be in Atlanta the same time as me. I reply back August 3 to the effect, I am 53 years old, in good health, etc. etc. I noticed you don't have a phone number on rentmen. How do I get in touch with you if I am in Atlanta?

He did NOT reply to the August 3 E-mail so I sent it again August 9. He replied August 10 that he wants to know the exact time to meet.

On August 12 I reply" I will be in Atlanta Aug 23 to 27 for a business meeting., The meeting runs 8AM to 5PM. I would only be available after hours. The exact time may vary, due to when the meeting ends (some days may run late and/or I have to stay for a business dinner, etc.). I can't confirm a time, since I do not know exactly when I will be available only that my free time will be at night."

He did not answer so I sent the exact same message again on Aug. 17. He wanted an EXACT time and I couldn't commit to making an exact time based on the nature of my travel to Atlanta. I did not like the tone of his E-mail and I did not contact him further. I came and left from Atlanta last month and NEVER MET tparadiso.

I met a different escort while in Atlanta. the one I met is:

I sent in a positive review to Daddy's website for the escort I met in Atlanta.

We look forward to your review: https://www.daddysreviews.com/submit

Are you referring to me?

Sorry for not replying sooner. I was out of town from August 26 to Sept 3 on a business trip and did not have internet access.

Am I in trouble?

I work in a local Public Health lab (but not the STD clinic). I just want to second everything that has been said before:

1. Most people with STD's are asymptomatic. You may not see warts, rashes, etc. but you can still catch the disease.

2. STD's are not a joke. Before antibiotics were invented syphilis was considered a progressive, potentially fatal disease. There have been case reports of people dying from gonorrhea (in very rare cases it spreads to the blood).

3. Every STD clinic will tell you to always wear protection. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Just my 2 cents worth
