But, I believe it is important for myself, anyone I have sex with as well as any of our future partners and the Adult / Sex Worker industry. So I did some research, thanks to Google, and after checking out a few options found SH.UK, a UK based company that offers free testing in some areas, including mine. Easy to sign up, few easy questions (be honest with your answers to make sure you get the right test(s) and away we went, superb service and I feel happier, knowing I am looking after myself, my partners and clients.
Bit if background, I am a very sexually active gay crossdresser. I do camshows, shoots and meets when I can/work allows (unfortunately being a sex worker isn't my main source of income yet, but hopefully will be one day) and will be doing more bookable meets where we can make content or just have fun, 1 in 1 or I am up for groups using me. I prefer bareback, feels so much nicer and amazing when a guy blows his load, nuts in my ass or mouth. But respect my clients wishes, so if they want to use condoms I wouldn't object. I also like casual sex, regularly visiting my local gay sauna and other public places for as much sex, cock and cum as I can get. So testing is important.
I am lucky to live in the UK, and in an area where I can get regular free sexual health testing, with an online account that provides links to verify my health status to anyone that needs to know, as often as I need to share. I go online, answer a few questions and they send me the kit, plain packaging and has full easy to understand instructions, everything you will need and a pre paid box to send it all back in. Mine usually comprises of blood and urine samples as well as oral and anal swabs. It takes me less than 10 mins to do all of the samples now, clean up n packaged ready to send to the lab. You get regular sms updates and it is such a quick and easy thing to do.
So I am tested for Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, HIV and Syphilis at the moment.
The point behind this article isn't to say I am STI free, but an ask. To get yourself tested, whether you regular have unprotected sex with multiple partners like me, or just once and are worried.
Check out this site, and local health clinics and testing services - Google is an amazing source of info as is your local sexual health clinic. Search and find out how you can help protect the sex worker industry, us as sex workers, our clients and families... the list goes on xxxxx
Thank you for reading,

UPDATE
I should have added during the week, as a good gurly sex worker, I have ordered a new test kit, at present I do it every 3 months, should I do it more often? How often do you get tested as a sex worker?
Update - 13th March 2023
Ordered my latest test kit, been 3 months since my last one already.
Amazingly it arrived the following day, took me less than 10 mins to unpack and do my 4 samples - oral and anal swabs (don't get them mixed up lol), pee sample and blood. Back in the post and off for testing.
