Which means about 90% - the vast majority - did not, a figure that shows there is little justification for a broad policy initiative to help ameliorate self-inflicted conditions of small minority.

Until those 10% start spreading the STDs around town.

“Until those 10% start spreading the STDs around town.”

And whose fault would that be???

“The public’s” because they didn’t pass a stupid law making it mandatory that EVERY teen get regular blood tests for STDs???

Or stupid people who have unprotected sexual intercourse with persons with whom they have no assurance that such persons have not been sexually active with third parties??

All laws intended to make promiscuity “safer” are actually laws to make promiscuity easier; as if by escaping “physical health” problems that can arise from promiscuity that EVERYTHING ELSE is thus “O.K.”; when, in fact, promiscuity, with or without physical health consequences, is, by its nature, fraught with many other risks of adverse consequences to the long term health and happiness of the individual; whether or not any of those consequences are voiced as a religious issue of “sin”.

The major focus on merely successfully “avoiding STDs”, through legislation to require STD blood tests, is a diversion from the wholesale consequences of promiscuity, and IS intended to simply remove one more potential obstacle to seemingly “successful” promiscuity.

Better that people actually fear EVERY consequence of promiscuity and thereby maybe avoid being promiscuous more often than not - which DOES seem to be the case with the overwhelming majority - 90% - among those that profess some adherence to abstinence. If EVERYONE took THEIR position, maybe the 90% figure would be found among the population as a whole, and that in itself would be a major accomplishment.

In the end, YOU are responsible for knowing what you need to protect your health from consequences of your intimate human relationships and no law can absolutely insure otherwise, unless your own Liberty is the victim of the law as well.
