Contractions Involving Homosexual un-protected anal intercourse: 4
Shouldn't that be 4,000 instead of 4? to make the example more realistic? LOLs
It's not so much about being scientifically valid, as it is about creating a general awareness of how to regulate the issue.

Follow the bouncing ball.....

....aaaaaaaaand this is why scientific validity is important.
I actually have some professional expertise re HIV infection, and GD is ....... the probability per contact with an infected partner is less than 1 in a 1000 .................. Anal sex is pretty much the only reasonably common sexual activity for which protection is necessary to reduce HIV infection risk to levels that most people accept in other areas of life.
On the other hand, you would have to be an extraordinarily active monger (to put it mildly!) to see 5000 escorts in your life.
I agree with GD that other STDs are a far more logical reason to insist on protection in p4p sex and that the risk of infection with non-STD diseases (unaffected by condoms), are probably the biggest health hazard from commercial sex activities, especially in Third World countries.

Define Scientific validity so that I can develop an idea around it... lol
Your idea has two major issues that wouldn't make it scientifically valid (maybe more than 2).
First, it's a voluntary setup. You can't come to very good conclusions about anything if people are only contributing if they feel like it. Additioanlly voluntary reporting can be due to a strong feeling (ie, retribution). Someone could report a number of fake STDs that they got all from pink salons, maybe because they have a beef against a particular pink salon, or they work for a competing type of org. This would skew the danger levels of pink salons.
Secondly, the reporting population here is so small there's no way it's scientifically valid. When pollsters do phone polling for US political campaigns, they are getting well over 1000 responses in order to get a small enough margin of error. Having a few dozen responses is much closer to individual anecdotal evidence than an actual scientific study.
Now, if you did something like stand outside love hotels and do 'exit polling' for every guy meeting a delivery health girl to get a breakdown of whether they like to come in a girl's mouth or not, you might get enough responses to be considered a relatively valid conclusion.
My point above, adding in @konbini guy's homophobic comments, was to point out that there's a TON of 'scientific' studies out there that are used as ammunition against various oppressed minorities. In this case, someone like @konbini guy could say "gay people cause all the problems -- see, the numbers show that", when really all the numbers might show is that for this small subsection of the mongering community that is voluntarily reporting, these are the results. In other words, you can't come to any conclusions from a very small amount of data, although people often do so to a dangerous extent.
"Professional expertise"
Either you have a medical degree, you're a seasoned escort, or you stayed at a Holiday Inn.
Me think's you're provably good at googling, have a worn out library card, or lower level health aid/tech employee certificate,
So you've never stayed in a Holiday Inn?
Well since you admit you don't have a MD/DO/PhD
Thanks for being a good sport... sorry I didn't guess correctly.
I not a fan of people whom minimize risks.....
at least STD risk deniers are so outlandish most people don't think them credible
That's Wwanderer, always the math and stats guy...
If I'm not mistaken, there have already been reports of people in direct contact and working with the radiation outbreak that have been compensated due to being diagnosed with leukemia.
So let's be careful out there and get protected and tested but try to have fun and not freak out!
oh, perhaps I'm mistaken, but I rememebr reading the news on this this year....
This is the essence of the whole theadSo let's be careful out there and get protected and tested but try to have fun and not freak out!
