Every so often the police in Reno have street sweeps, getting the hookers off. A lot of these girls have diseases of one kind or another from reports in the newspapers. The judges are real tough on the ones who have AIDS, they send them off to prison for attempted murder.

I think the women who work in the cat houses have to get tested every week or so. I don't know much about it except for what's been published in the local Democratic rag.

IIRC, they must hold a license (which is conditional upon their possesing a current medical clearance), and the House must hold a license as well.

Both can be revoked at any time by health authorities or police. Oh, and in LEGAL brothels, condom use is mandatory.

Is it perfect? Of course not...risk exists everywhere in life. However, a LEGAL, REGULATED system like that of Nevada (or Puerto Rico, where prostitution is also legal) is nonetheless infinitely safer and cleaner, not to mention FAR less opressive and violent to the women involved than any illegal one.

Let us not forget, also, that pornographic movies and magazines are legal in most places, and do they not constitute prostitution?
