7% Amsterdam Prostitutes Infected With HIV
http://dutchnewz.com ^ | 01/24/06 | Johan van Dale

Posted on 01/24/2006 7:03:13 AM PST by shezz

Roughly seven percent of the prostitutes in Amsterdam are infected with the HIV virus. This comes from a report covering risk groups in Amsterdam in 2003-2004.

242 prostitutes were tested in all. Of the transvestite and transexuals, 17 percent are infected with the virus. 11 percent of those addicted to drugs are also infected.The ones that dont use drugs, the percentage is just 3 percent. Prostitutes in the 'street walkers' district have 9 percent more chance of being infected than those in the window prostitution.

Of 52 clients of the prostitutes, none of them had HIV, but 80 percent admitted using a condom with sexual contact with the prostitutes. One third of the whores said that the condoms often fail.

It's a good thing prostitution is legalized and regulated in the Netherlands.

It would be helpful to know the rate of HIV infection of American whores.

Of course, the fact that they are not regulated means all we can do is guess.

Just curious, do you normally expect 100% solutions from government?

It may be that ALL of the HIV-infected prostitutes are drug abusers and men.

Which would be consistent with AIDS in the rest of the developed world.

So it looks like the moral here is to find a hetero non-drug addict hooker. I think that's wise advice, no matter the city.

Well, state-mandated tests in Nevada have yet to find a legal prostitute carrying HIV. As far as the non-legals elswhere, God only knows.

Those who do it so poorly they have to pay for someone to do it with them. :) Ya know, like the kids in school whose parents had to pay other kids to play with them.

Whores charge for it, so that's the correct term.

Sluts just give it away for free.

A free clinic in Washington, D.C. reported an HIV infection rate among the prostitutes it treated of 61%.

Yep ...I actually had a long discussion with a pal (on a slow day) on this matter. At least prostitutes get paid .....there are too many who will sleep with a person just because he (or she) took them out for a movie/dinner/bought-them-a-birthday-card etc etc etc.
