Fact, I'm pretty sure there was a study that found in areas with legal prostitution the cases of sexual assault dropped

But the question is would it increase STD rates?

It has to be regulated. One simple rule would be condom only. And maybe a monthly check for the girls, not at their expense tho.

At the expense of whom? I can' imagine legal prostitution without them being independent workers.

Tax revenue from legal prostitution? It’s right in the OP.

Depends on the country, but outside of the US getting an STI screening is already covered by government health insurance.

If prostitution were to become legal in the states they'd probably just limit it to brothels to keep on top of things, which could just hire a nurse to do screenings on site.

Their companies perhaps? I think unions and cooperatives would be the way to go in that field, even more so than any other field

But then again, I think healthcare should be free, and std tests are important, so I'd hope it'd be at the expense of no one

At the expense of the state. It's not like it would be impossible for the state to pay for their check-ups, even if they were independent workers.

tax payer; we pay in the end for people's treatments so prevention is always better, but on top of that it costs a tiny amount of money to actually perform these tests

STI testing should be one of the next steps in universally provided healthcare, because it has by far the largest sociological impact while being incredibly cheap

It could simply be a tax write-off. Just like gas for your business car.

in good countries, the way it works is, prostitution is legal, brothels and pimping are not.
