Along those lines, how about something like the NFL, which asks you risk serious injury for entertainment. A coal miner. A race car driver. And in fact, a porn star, who IS required to do sex acts as part of the job. I think to me what the job requires has something to do with it -- if your job necessarily entails something, then it's OK to require it. Otherwise, I would prefer the company stay uninvolved.

A porn star that refuses to present an std test would not get very far, and because they are interaction with their collegue in the production of said entertainment content, I doubt anyone would say it is an unreasonable request. I dont feel it is an unreasonable expectaton that the person who hand rolls my sushi wash their hands. Is being clean and healthy a requirement for that job? Not everyone likes washing their hands, there is evidence that it makes people go crazy and alters their brains, like it did to Howard Hughes. Even more often there are side effects such as dryness, irritation and peeling. Anyway, washing your hands doesnt stop the hands from touching the food, let alone anything else, so it is completely pointless and ineffective anyway. Is it reasonable to ask that the person who sits in the chair next to me in the office not come to work carrying a contageous disease? The flu; some say "dont be a wimp and go to work anyway". What if it was smallpox or ebola or even chickenpox? While not a job requirement to be free of ebola, I suspect some might blame the carrier if they decided to ride out their ebola infection and ended up killing a bunch of their colleagues.

  Yeah, but the risk profiles of a new vaccine and washing your hands are night-and-day different.

    ‘Wash your hands’ was once controversial medical advice Everyone knows handwashing is an easy way to stay healthy, but that wasn't always so. In the 1840s, advocating it cost a doctor his career. Everyone knows ... or is that just what big hand-wash wants you to think...
