Yes... but wouldn't there be even more of those... the random street hookerness? What exactly constitutes a brothel? Surely prostitution in general would be much more difficult to stamp out with the lines between "brothel" and "guy telling a bunch of disease-ridden hookers to live in a house" blurred.
Monthly tests are fine and good, but it only takes one day to get (and transmit) an STD.
I know that halting the spread of STDs isn't the point of brothels. I'm just saying that I can't imagine that STDs'
rate of spread not growing
at all if brothels were legalized.
