Hey Rad,i have always worn a condom before i met my wife, i have never had any indiscretion , i have only oral preformed on me by girlfriends in the past with out protection, my question is what is the likelyhood of me catching a std /hiv for some reason i a petrified of dieases,lately also i once went to a massage parlour and had a massage they offered more but said no are massage parlour girls tested for std or is that no regulated in canada like it is in europe
As far as I know, providers are not required by law to have regular testing... b/c sex is not supposed to be going on... Most repuatable sp's do get regular testing at their own discretion.
Based on what I see, you are probably fine but to be 100% sure, you should go to the clinic and get tested and at least that will give you some peace of mind.
It is true. If you have certain STD's, I believe starting with herpes and perhaps even as "light" as Hep B, they are required to record it and then report it to all health agencies. It is deemed a public health issue as it falls under disease control. As with HIV, it is certainly a requirement, and not only that, it is for certain required reporting to law enforcement agencies. In this case, it is deemed far more than a public health issue.I have read some info where the clinic is required to report if you are found to have certain std's.
Seems a little scary, as it is supposed to be confidential.
Let The Health Nurse Answer The Questions
I am no health expert but I think your statement about required reporting to law enforcement agencies is way off of the mark. There are regulations regarding personal privacy in Canada that I think would preclude this.
If I might be so bold as to remind everyone of the rules for the use of the Health Information forum (see sticky at start of this forum):
"3. ONLY THE HEALTH NURSE CAN ANSWER A QUESTION. Answers from anyone else will be deleted, and you run the risk of being banned."
For the sake of true and honest information when it comes to issues of health and safety (and reducing the fear and anxiety of those that may ask a question) let's all stick to the rules and let the trained professionals deal with all questions.
I would hate to think that someones fear of being "outed" as far as having a STI/STD would stop them from getting the medical consultation, tests, or any treatment that they might need.

I am not sure if I understand you George as here in Alberta there is nothing the public health authorities can do if sp’s works with STD’s. I found this out when some of us reported a particular escort that is well known on perb who works with herpies and has infected many others. We have been told that as a hobbyist that is just a risk we take and the only safe sex is abstinence. Now I am not an expect and this is not intended as advice I am just saying what mine and a few others experience was. I was told if it was HIV then yes the person could be charged but most STD’s are not life threatening so it is buyer beware. The nurses exact words were as an adult you should know the risks and it is a chance you take when you hobby.It is true.

I am sure the post would be removed if I revealed who it is but feel free to pm me.Is it possible to find out the name of this lady so we can avoid?
Mr.Rogers is "Brandi from Kamloops" (also has the handle sexymilf here), take anything posted as crap, just attacking her competition AGAINI am not sure if I understand you George as here in Alberta there is nothing the public health authorities can do if sp’s works with STD’s.

not to highjack the thread here but shame on you ronnyraygun (also known as mikey, tango, rafie boy, the list goes on) first of all that mr rogers is not me you should get valid facts with proof before going off with trumped up false accusations and 2nd of all how is someone with a completely different look and build as well as in alberta of all places a different province all together how is she my competition? she is clearly not my compition. give your head a shake dude. I do not even take new clients I see regulars only so you having nothing to be worried and insecure about. It has been obvious by her and your ongoing non stop obsessive slander that you feel I am competition. If you have nothing better to do then slander and make false trumped up accusations/ allegations all day then perhaps you need to get out of the house more often? Is there truth to these rumors is that why you are so worried and in attacking mode? treat others as you want to be treated.
have a nice day.
p.s. make peace and love not war
Hi: Sorry to take so long in responding. I was having trouble logging on last week.
There are a few questions in this thread we will try to answer:
1) Your risk for getting an STI from having a massage with no sexual contact is negligible. Here is a link to a post we did on risks related to oral sex. From what you describe your risks for STI’s should be low but if you are concerned you could go for testing.
https://perb.cc/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=41215
2) One of the things that public health has worked on for years is informing partners of people who have certain infections with the aim of “controlling” the spread of that infection. That is done by getting people, who may have been exposed, tested, treated and/or vaccinated as needed. Measles, mumps, chickenpox (and others) as well as gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV and Hepatitis are all considered “reportable” infections.
People have some choices when they get testing done. If they are very concerned re confidentiality they can get testing done in a clinic that does not require MSP or ID and they can use an alias.
If you are having an HIV test it is your legal option to test non-nominally, which means not using your name. This is the case even when you use your MSP card i.e. in your doctor’s office.
People that test positive for gonorrhea, Chlamydia, syphilis, HIV or Hepatitis also have choices.. They have the option of:
• telling partners themselves,
• having a public health nurse inform their partners on a confidential basis (no names given)
• choosing an agreed balance of these two things
• choosing not to inform their partners by not providing any information regarding the partners
3) Health care providers are not allowed to report people who are HIV positive to the police. The only situation where that information would come from us is if we were subpoenaed to testify in a court case.
4) Herpes is not a reportable infection. The majority of people have been exposed to some type of Herpes virus in their lives.
5) Providers are not required by law to be tested, nor are patrons. Hopefully both groups take responsibility for their own health by getting tested as needed.
Hope that answers your questions. Let us know if you need more information.
