Q: hi, is it safe to have sex with a sex worker, could i get an std even if i use a condom, should i avoid this kind of women or it is ok and a good idea to visit them if i use protection?

: Any direct contact with the fluids of the worker may pass an infection.Condoms are helpful but not totally protective for all STI's.

sex workers have a high incidence of having STDs and you can get any of those even if you wear a condom= for condoms are not fool proof and have a failure rate. Best is to avoid such encounters.
