Just in honest question. No agenda or trying to cause any controversy.

Recently a performer who left the industry and publicly stated that they contracted herpes returned and I have seen them in mainstream stuff with male performers who basically perform with everyone else.

I'm just curious how this happens with STD testing? I don't think herpes is tested for so how does that work?

Just curious.

Herpes is accepted as an occupational outcome.

Tests aren't free and the costs do add up. A 2 week old test minimum is usually a requirement for any professional set but this means there is a window where STI/STD can occur between an old test and a fresh test.

I've seen two contrasting arguments. Firstly there's little issue. Ie Nina Hartley I think said she had 150 negative tests in sequence. Then you read of ex stars and others saying it's a bigger problem with STIs than admitted .
I believe Herpes is not tested for and Rocco Siffredi said once 90% of the stars have it

I'd love to hear from performers or those in the know about STI prevalence ?

Since it isn't tested for and most herpes infections are mild and episodic or asymptomatic, Rocco really has no way of knowing. However, herpes is very common in the general population and one can only assume rates are even higher among adult models.

Among Americans aged 14 to 49 years, HSV-2 (main type of genital herpes) occurs in more than 16%, equalling about 1 in 6 people. HSV-1 (main type oral herpes) is estimated to occur in more than 50% of the US population and it occurs fairly regularly as genital herpes too (i.e., in addition to HSV-2), with some evidence suggesting that it is in the process of overtaking HSV-2 in genital herpes because oral sex has become more widespread. The worldwide numbers for both HSV-1 and HSV-2 are roughly similar to the American. It is estimated that 60-95% of all adults have either HSV-1 or HSV-2. So yes, it is entirely reasonable to assume that a clear majority of adult models have herpes, because a majority of adults in the general population have herpes.
