Listen to Wander and take heed young Jedi. I did not, and caught an unidentified STD that caused my left ass cheek to fall off one day. People now call me a 'half-assed so-and-so' behind my back, but trust me I hear the whispers! 
Disease transmission is largely a matter of virulence and statistics and all the bugs out there (and we've only identified a small portion) are different in how contagious they are. Smallpox (irradicated thank heavens) was airborne and extremely virulent for example, just a few virus particles can infect you, HIV otoh is not airborne, does not survive well in saliva and needs a particular route into the body, TB, is different still, all these nasties have their own preference for how they make you sick, but at least the STDs can't do it at a distance or with a sneeze. Cut down your exposure (i.e. wear a condom) as much as possible, and eliminate it altogether (e.g., no BB anal) where you can and you'll most likely do fine.
Besides communicability, the other item that has come to give me the most pause is the very low access, or use of, health care by the girls in the unregulated environments. If they never go to get checked, they could still be sporting last year's (or the year before!) chlamydia. So be on thy guard! | |
