They would be removed from the database/lose their 'prostitution license' in that case
I think it's a safe bet that in reputable medical offices, such as hospitals, specialists, and primary care, there are far fewer 'rogue professionals' than there are prostitutes who could be avoided under the proposed system due to having stds. No system is immune to fraud, but the point is to *minimize* it
Agreed it would be more of the individual practices that historically have this problem. Granted it's harder and harder as information technology advances to be able to pull it off, but people keep trying, even to the point of practicing black market medicine.
And stds aren't simply a matter of 'informed consent' but a public health issue. Therefore it's appropriate to keep that form of prostitution illegal
That's not a form of prostitution. There is no such creature as STD prostitution. But I get your point. Yet this same individual can now go out and infect others even if they do not get paid. So do we keep them on the registry or not? How much of a safety vs. privacy issue is it?
