If you express this fear to the SP and request that she provide you with her recent test results then it shouldn`t bother you. Now when you speak to the SP make sure to explain yourself fully as to avoid offending her and if she is any kind of provider I doubt she will have a problem given adequate time to get tested or request her recent test results from her GP.
anyone can purchase false test results etc etc I guess he may just have find another way to get over his fears. peace
There have been SP`s advertisers here who publicly offered to show their test results, so no concerns about offence there.
As to reliability, online official STI results from BC labs can be seen, according to:
There is no need to wait for a phone call for the test results. You can look them up online now:

From TERB:
I never bothered getting a blood test while I was a working SP. Mainly because once I was infected I would have had no other option but to continue working, so why bother?
From another thread:
I am sure you probably already suspect.... but I am going to say it anyway .... SP`s are going to tell you what they think you want to hear.... Asking this question albeit well intended and certainly a curiosity will not glean accurate information.... the only sure way SP`s will have frequent testing,,, is if the government yards their collective heads from their asses and legalizes these services and regulates them like they do in Europe. Mandating medical and STD testing to maintain a "license" is the only sure way to know what you are playing with...
If a client is so concerned about a SP being recently HIV tested, then perhaps one should go beyond just taking a person`s word for it. After all, if she knows she`s HIV positive while still working, do you think she`s going to admit to it? Not likely. Even if she`s been tested negative within the last month or three, this is no guarantee of being clean.
So how can a hobbyist protect himself during FS? Condoms, of course, are the usual way, and reduce risk of infection relative to BBFS by about 85%. We all know condoms can fail, so if one desires additional protection they can take other measures to increase their safety level further beyond what condoms afford.
For example, as per the above quote by poster milfhunter, you could go to a country where SP`s are tested and licensed. In Thailand there are some venues where the sex workers are regularly tested and they`ll let you see the written STI results. I don`t know about the legal brothels in Nevada.
I`ve gone with SP`s in Bangkok to the hospital, paid for their testing, seen the paper stating the result of HIV negative, and been there with the SP`s when the doctor pronounced that result. Something similar is a possibility in Canada too. I`ve also seen the doctor send the test result to the SP`s phone.
Other options are in home do-it-your-self rapid HIV tests and being able to see STI results online. These two options could be more convenient than going to a hospital or clinic with an SP.
"According to OraSure, the test will be available for purchase this October at more than 30,000 retail outlets throughout the country and online."

"We are enabling doctors and clinicians to talk to one another and share patient information electronically."
"Paper records are a thing of the past. Today, doctors are creating electronic health records (EHRs) for their patients that contain all their medical information, including X-rays, test results, ultrasounds and other important data. It’s really no different than the way we use our mobile phones or our home computers to save and store information, send emails and share pictures and videos."

Additional ways to protect oneself from STIs include being circumcised, seeing low mileage SP`s, or those who advertize safer services like CBJ rather than BBBJ, or SP`s who don`t offer covered Greek (which is as risky re HIV as BBFS), etc
As regards STI prevalence among sex workers, it seems that genital herpes is much worse than in the general population. This is an STI that is seldom included in regular STI checkups, although the CDC recommends that those with multiple partners consult a physician about being tested for it:
"... individual persons who are at risk for HSV-2 infection, such as...those with multiple partners, should consult their healthcare providers to discuss type 2 HSV serologic testing."
"...Herpes type 2 blood testing may or may not be included in a full STD evaluation, as STD testing depends on a number of factors, such as behavioral risk factors (e.g. number of partners, consistent condom use, etc.) and how common the infection is in the community."

"Female sex workers in Europe have low levels of sexually transmitted infections, attributable to condom use. The aim of this paper is to describe the seroepidemiology of HSV-1 and HSV-2 in female sex workers in London by using a 15-year prospective study of 453 sex workers. The seroprevalence of HSV-1 was 74·4% and independently associated with birth in a ‘transitional country’ (OR 5·4, 95% CI 1·61–18·20). The seroprevalence of HSV-2 was 60% and declined over time; it was also independently associated with time in sex work (OR 2·12, 95% CI 1·23–3·65) and birth in a ‘developing country’ (OR 2·95, 95% CI 1·34–6·48). We show that a cohort of sex workers with extensive condom use and little known sexually transmitted infection have high levels of HSV-1 and HSV-2 infection, suggesting that condoms may not be universally protective. Sex workers are candidates for HSV vaccine efficacy or intervention studies."
"...In the United Kingdom, for example, the seroprevalence of HSV-2 in the general population is 8% [4] and in genitourinary clinic attendees it is 23% [4]. Seroprevalence rates in sex workers in non-European countries range from 61% [5] to 90% in Zaire [6]. Historically sex workers are a highly mobile and distinct group in terms of sexual behaviour compared to the general population."
