Girls and their ?Test Results?

[toban]

Much attention is devoted by a few Forum girls in their advertising, to the availability of their latest STI test results but many other girls are less than forthcoming about their status. Just out of curiosity, I sometimes wonder, what the actual prevalence of STI’s is in this Toronto community. With such a large community (relatively) I wonder, does the Medical Officer of Health for the city ever report the stats on current case loads of these diseases? Of course only some diseases are officially reportable but information about all is known by the medical community.

The most mentioned in the girls ads seem to be the commonly reported blood tests for HIV, Syphilis, and tests for Gonorrhea & Chlamydia (often with both oral & anal results reported). With only a relatively few girls reporting their standing on Shemale Canada or other ads though, I wonder about the actual prevalence of these infections within the local community.

In addition to the diseases noted above, what about some of the less commonly mentioned sexual infections likely to occur in this community? E.g. what are the rates of things like Herpes, Pubic Lice aka Crabs aka Crotch Crickets, HPV (Human Papilloma Virus), aka Venereal Warts in all forms (internal / external / oral / anal / penile), etc., etc??

Such information about some girls may be known by a few but verifiable, official information about any unusual changes in the status of the local community’s health might be of interest to all of us who take part in the local festivities.

The Info Is Available - The Only Sane, Responsible Choice Is 100% Safe Sex

The statistics are available from Public Health & Canada Health Stats publications. We are in the highest risk categories (MSM-men having sex with men) This is a biological sex definition not a gender identity definition. The only sane, responsible choice is to practice safe sex 100% of the time regardless of what a SP or sex partner advertises or discloses. And to get tested regularly if having multiple sex partners.

I'm sure such info exists

And how would you get verifiable and official information?

That was basically what I was asking - is such info ever reported by the MOH for Toronto or any large centre?
