Intimate activities all carry risk, but I'll outline the "lowest risk" methods. You can tell them that you're a bit of a germaphobe and that you'll be requesting some or all of the following:
- No kissing (non-zero chance of transmission, even just of colds)
- No BJ, or covered BJ
- No DATY/DATO, or covered w dental dam
- Bringing your own sheets, towels, etc
- Thorough showers - take your time
I recommend scheduling an appointment to speak with a nurse at the BC CDC STI clinic so you can understand better risks of transmission and the amount of time it takes for certain STIs to show up in testing.
Again, tell them that you're very risk averse and want to be conscious. Tell them it's for ease of mind. They will take care of you. You can also have your blood checked and get boosters for related vaccinations. Ask about HPV vaccines as most men haven't received this. Also, if you are bisexual, see men, or trans people, the monkeypox shot may be available to you too.
Personally, I think regular/monthly testing is great! It keeps duo partners up to date and protects everyone in the community 💐
P. S.
I prefer someone saying they are hygienic and health-conscious over someone telling me that they are "clean, drug- and disease-free vasectomy daddy" (yes, people say this). Health is important, but testing is easily falsified and providers will likely not be impressed to be asked for their regular screening as it contains our legal name on it. Maybe a provider you see regularly will be okay sharing when to book with the most up-to-date results out.

Edit to update without getting "into the fray":
So, I don't include in my ads how often I test because for me,
it's a given. I also don't list out how many covid boosters and other vaccines I've gotten. If someone is inquiring about it and they are coming from a place of concern for themselves like OP, not from a place of STI stigma, then I'm pretty forward about it. We handle our own social media and business goings, whatever way works (or doesn't work haha) for us. It's okay, don't worry!
If the client cannot trust that the provider is someone who meets their standards in safe practice, they should move on. Not answering does not necessarily mean denial or falsehoods. Just like how not answering does not = consent for something. It's important for me. Sometimes, it might be that they have asked me in an uncomfortable way and I have chosen to not host that energy in my space. Courtesy and kindness go a long way. Idk I'm Canadian so maybe some might think I'm entitled for expecting people to be polite to me, stranger-to-stranger. I don't want to see everyone - just the ones who truly want to see me, the person and the provider. I'm happy that there's a different style of provider for everyone 💐
