The difference as I see it is, that escorts have to be more open minded and be more educated on STDs, so its not like they would be so harsh if someone with herpes happens to reveal it to them. With someone who isn't working in the sex industry I'd imagine many, if not most, will have an ignorant opinion on the subject, and not mention will probably handle the event a lot less maturely. Based on first hand experience, I can tell you many people really are like that.
