I agree. There would be a drop in the number of STDs.Quote:

You forget if prostitution is legal - as in many european states - you still will have a relatively high number of "illegal" prostitution of hookers who do it on the side, or dont register bc of a drug habbit, or are beeing forced by for instance mafia organisations. Just like in any other "legal" business activity there is a "black market" for legal prostitution which will go mostly unchecked by the authorities.Quote:

Sorry I didnt respond to your question before on the second page. I don't visit the site as much as I once did.
The increase in the UK is down to several factors, the MAJOR (Not the only one) contributor would be the fact that we do NOT have a general consensus of sex education in schools. Some do not teach it at all, a framework for it simply doesn't exist, with most schools left to their own devices as to how to teach about STDs and issues of sexual health.
Compare this with Holland, one of the most sexually liberal countries in Europe, where it has a full education policy on the subject,hitting the kids before they even goto secondary school at 12/13 years of age. They have one of the lowest rates in Europe, and the lowest rate of pregnancy - go figure!
1 in 3 new cases in the UK are inmigrants, and we had a huge influx of migrants in the last 15 years especially. Many of the came here because they knew to stay at home was a death sentance, so who can blame them. For a while HIV status would often give people Leave To Remain in the UK, this however is no longer the case.
They're are numerous other factors but those are the leading two.
i would put it down to a couple of factors.Quote:
