im fairly new to escorting and wanted to get full sti check and get a copy/certificate to show i was clear but the clinic said its up to the doctor and she may refuse to give me a certificate and if she did id have to pay ?50 can any one tell me were i stand if they refuse to give me a cert or results in writing please x

I used to work in a GUM clinic and have never heard of anyone being refused a cert.

Sex workers sometimes have to pay, but not everywhere, where I worked it was ?10 but it's free where I go now.

If you have a choice of clinics in your area it might be worth asking around. You don't need to tell them you are a sex worker, though I would recommend it, but if you ask for the works test-wise and say you need your results in writing for your partner as he is paranoid and wouldn't trust an anonymous text message (standard results delivery system for most places).

You may be asked for ID when collecting your results, I book my appointments with a fake surname and thay have no problem with this, though it might not be standard.

I've never been asked to show a certificate.
Though lots have asked if 'I'm clean'* after having a session with me.  Somewhat horse/bolted:
I explain I get tested every two months and even if I had an all clear today
that would simply show that nothing was detected at the time of the test.
It doesn't show new infections just acquired prior to the test {HIV can take up to six months to show}
nor any picked up since then.
I stress safer sex and making both an informed choice on the available facts
and taking personal responsibility for ones own sexual health.
They take a deep breath and I then say
"No I don't have anything nasty, you'll be fine"
They then look relieved and go on their way.

Also same day STI/HIV certs are the standard in porn shoots in the UK and USA.
But they only reduce the likelihood of contracting something.
But these industries still get temporarily shut down each time a performer
shows up as HIV+ in a test...
>>>Latest shut down report<<<

I hope my other comments register with them, later.
It's all about educating the client-base. Well, for me it is.


In summery, you don't need a cert, and they are rarely if ever asked for.
But regular STI testing is essential.
You are thinking and planning these very important aspects of what we do.
Which is great.  Oh, also NHS GUM clinics give out free condoms and lube.
Just how cool is that!



*coz only messy untidy unwashed people get STI's...
