You would think that this would be a very common disease amongst hookers.

Surprising as it may be, back in the mid-80's, a street cop I knew told me that he was seeing the beginning of this in the hookers he knew on the street. He had a pretty good rapport with a lot he had arrested over the years.
Several were telling him that they had been diagnosed with various throat problem that the Drs' had no idea what they were looking at. At that time I guess there was an explosion of new bugs hitting the street. Coupled with the then exploding 'crack whore' syndrome which was rising at that time it was a "fertile" breeding ground for those bugs and their fast mutating forms.
Some had even been diagnosed with throat cancer and other than the usual STDs there was no linking reason.
He told me he used tell this to the johns he picked up and watch their reactions....needless to say, he had a rather weird sense of humor.

Seeing this thread brought him and his story to mind.
