For clarification only, twelve counties in Nevada allow prostitution though only eight have existing brothels. Also, there has never been a case (since mandatory testing began in the mid 80's) of HIV, though there have been other STD's diagnosed.

I don't like to see anyone talked poorly about and prostitutes are no different however, while I agree that many didn't know what they were getting into, I do disagree that most didn't choose the profession unless you are referring to 'economically forced' but I still think that's a choice.
