Prostitutes, like anyone who is sexually active, can be at risk for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) if they do not practice safe sex. However, it is important to note that not all sex workers have STDs. Many may take precautions to protect themselves and their clients, such as using condoms and getting regular health check-ups.
STDs can be transmitted through unprotected sexual contact, so the risk is higher if safe practices are not followed. It's crucial for individuals engaging in any sexual activity to prioritize safe sex measures, such as using condoms and getting tested regularly, regardless of whether one is a prostitute or not. Education, prevention, and access to healthcare are key factors in reducing the transmission of STDs.
