In Nevada, where prostitution is legal and regulated, condoms are required. No condom / No nookie. What are the AIDS stats from Nevada?Prostitution occurs everywhere, in one form or another, legal or not. The highest concentration of American prostitutes is in the District of Columbia, quite literally under the noses of Congress. And it is illegal there!How can our governors require their own whores to use condoms when they have no legal right to do so?Prostitution is not the problem it's cracked up to be.db

Although it is possible to be infected with HIV without engaging in improper behavior (ex: bad transfusions, needle pricks) the fact is that most cases are contracted through immoral acts and behavioral shortcomings. That is why there is an AIDS stigma.

Come now gene. Any fatal pandemic can terrorize the masses and stigmatize the sufferer. Consider the social response to victims of Bubonic Plague, Smallpox and Influenza. These, when mysterious and considered uniformly fatal, were thought by many to be punishments from God for some sinful behaviour or other.Seems to me the hope of science is to liberate the human animal, not to burden it with guilt. I only hope that I have misunderstood your intent.db
