The Swingers Board - View Single Post - Hello, I love you, let's get tested for AIDS

First off, don't believe everything you read on the Internet.

You stated that you have read here or other places that 20% to 30% of swingers are tested regularly and exchange results.

After 30+ years of being in the Adult Business and in the Lifestyle I will personally say that is BS. First, what is Regularly? Once a year, twice a year, every couple of years? Also, in the Swinging side of things I can say for fact that I have never had anyone ask me for test results or show me theirs. I also can say for a fact that I know of no swinger that has ever told me that they have been tested or have asked anyone to be tested or knows of anyone that has been tested. I see 800 to 1000 Swingers a week so I have a pretty good base to work off of.

AIM has a good program for the Porn industry. One of the problems as you stated is they are knowingly letting infected people work in the industry. I don't care how careful you are, that is a chance they are taking that should not be allowed under any circumstances.

You also have to look at numbers of people in each category. The porn industry has less then 5% of the people involved there that are in the Swinging Lifestyle.

Tests are ONLY good until the person has sexual contact with another person after they have taken the test. In reality, it is not even good then. A person can be a carrier and not show positive on a test for months or even years.

I never tell anyone NOT TO TEST. That is a personal choice but I also after all these years of seeing results of testing and not testing advise people not go be led into a false sense of security.

If you are going to have sex with people, you are ALWAYS taking a chance of becoming infected with something. It may be a small chance but still a chance.

Life is a chance, you have to chose how you wish to live it.

As good times pointed out, you will not get a club or it's members to go along with any type of testing program. Hell, you can't even get people in this Lifestyle to agree what the Lifestyle is.

MOST are not going to go to their doctor and ask to be tested for STD's. They are not honest enough with their doctor to do this.
