I follow Mexican stuff closely, and let me tell you that whatever the
Mexican government reports is useless garbage.  I was researching
Mexican economic statistics in the last year and came to the conclusion
that they were either gross distortions of reality or entirely
fictitious.  The worst numbers came from the mid-1980s, painting what
appeared to be the rosiest of pictures for a time period I personally
witnessed up close - a time of complete and utter economic collapse,
massive hyperinflation, unemployment that wasn't possible to
calculate but appeared somewhere around 75%, and the mass exodus of
what seemed to be half of Mexico's population to the U.S.

Sorry to rant, but if you're quoting a statistic the Mexican government
has provided, you're quoting sh.t.  Either the Mexican government is
lying outright, or the infected prostitutes bribed testing officials
to forge negative test results, or both.  Believe me, anything can be
bought in Mexico, from a driver's license to a university diploma to
the president himself.  Any Mexican license, diploma, or other
certification is not worth the paper it's printed on, in fact it's
worth less than toilet paper because you can't even wipe your a.s with
it.  So a passing HIV test result is worth less than a hyperinflated
peso note...

If you want to see what real regulated prostitution is like, look at
Nevada's experience with legal brothels.  AFAIK, since they began
mandating condom use and regular HIV tests for the prostitutes, there
hasn't been a single case of HIV in the industry.  Unlike the
Mexican statistics, you can be sure the Nevada statistics are true.
