Sex work is legal where I live, and prostitutes have less diseases that the general population due to regulation of the industry enforcing safe sex practices.

- tomp 10y agoI'm not sure that's a valid statistics. Simply requiring that prostitutes are disease-free would mean that as soon as a prostitute gets a STD, she can't be a prostitute any longer. To actually confirm that prostitues are protected/healthier, you'd need to track people who used to be prostitutes vs. people who never were, and measure incidence of STDs for e.g. 10 years.
