The recent furor over the STD question got me thinking. The prevalence of certain STD's in the general population is reported to be quite high. This would include herpes, various types of urethritis, and a couple others. Accepting that, then it would seem logical, given the nature of this hobby and the less cautious practices of many (bbbj, dfk, dining at the y and o, rimming) that there would be SOME infections passed on. Yet in my years of reading PERB I can never actually remember seeing someone say they contracted something from an SP. Since this seems unlikely am I right in assuming that if anyone does admit to catching anything from an SP it is censored off the board or is there another explanation I'm missing? Obviously an accusation would ruin a provider's business, but if it was certain where something was contracted I'd like to know who to stay away from. What's the point of a review board of it doesn't include warnings as well as recommendations? I know I'm going to get flamed for this, but I really am curious about the etiquette and/or rules about such things.
