Outside of the porn industry, it is estimated that 50% of the population who are sexually active carry the HPV virus, and 1 out of 6 have genital herpes. For women it's 1 of 5. For oral herpes, they claim around 85% of the population carry the virus. These are the numbers for people who don't have sex for a living.
Now imagine what the numbers are for sex workers.
Unless you only work with each other, it is statistically impossible for you to not have at least one of them, but you probably have both,
regardless if you've ever had an outbreak or not.
And that doesn't mean you will have an outbreak, it just means you carry the virus.
That is why they don't test for it in the industry.
