Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / AIDS / January 2005PROSTITUTION IN USA
The U.S. Department of Health consistently reports that only 3-5% of the sexually transmitted disease in this country is related to prostitution. Prostitution is not just the world’s oldest profession; it’s one of the largest. The National Task Force on Prostitution suggests that over one million people in the US have worked as prostitutes, or about 1% of all American women. >The U.S. Department of Health consistently reports that only 3-5% of the >sexually transmitted disease in this country is related to prostitution. Remove the word "only" and the illusion that there is an argument here disappears. >... over one million people in the US have worked as prostitutes ... No conclusion seems to follow from this.  SignatureDavid Canzi Just once again we see no real connection between sex and 'AIDS'. It also shows prostitution and casual sex are really very safe. >Just once again we see no real connection between sex and 'AIDS'. Your original article talked about STDs in general, without mentioning any disease specifically. Any argument starting there and ending with a conclusion about AIDS can be used to prove the same conclusion about *any* sexually transmitted disease. If it followed that there is no connection between sex and AIDS, it would also follow that there is no connection between sex and syphilis, sex and gonorrhea, sex and genital herpes, etc. >It also shows prostitution and casual sex are really very safe. The claim that "only" 3-5% of sexually transmitted disease in the US is related to prostitution proves nothing unless you can state what percentage would be expected, show your calculations, and cite your sources.
