My buisness idea(serious), is this legal, or does it violate some prostitution law?
I go to places where STD's are a big problem(i.e. California lol) run a buisness which I do 24 hour test on people for STD's for a charge and list them on my service-I match people who are clean up against each other for some lovin........

horny but dont have anyone, but dont wanna get something from some total stranger? Use this service!

Is that illegal?

Do you think this buisness would be a success?

im not sure... but in anycase i think you cant confirm or reject with certainty that someone has aids within this time frame of about 6 months after exposure to the virus.

All you would be doing is running a very specific type of mat-making service, which are totally legal since the money you collect is not for sexual favors but for information (who is sick or not). I think the notion of making the info public porbably is the problem, as these are medical results-unless you have people sign wavers stating you can publish their names.

I think a better idea, considering the spread of STDs, is to find people who have them and match them up with other people who have the same STD. Then no risk of negligence leading to someone who is clean getting infected.

Oh, and I wouldn't say California. The South is the region of the country where STDs are most prevalent.

Most people won't willingly engage in sex with someone who has an STD even if they have a condom.

And some STDs aren't transmitted just through intercourse!

Yes, that's an interesting sore. Maybe I'll just suck on it.

NO THANK YOU> Thank god I'm married and that about the only thing you could get when I was in college was something that a few antibiotics would cure.

I pity the younger generation. A lot more risk than my days.

Rah, there have been serious STDs around since, well, forever. Things like syphillis would worry me more than AIDS. It's more eaily transmitted and more people have it.

There's no justice.

Syphillis, as long as it's diagnosed early, NO problem. A single shot of anti-biotics can cure it. Crabs, also easy to cure. There was some herpes back then it's just people didn't know what it was and it was a very uncommon.

Much better than the list is today.

I don't know if it's illegal, but why don't you hire me if you get business running?

We can always put disclaimers 'tests does not include HIV' or something.

ay, it's a scary age today.

Sex is either punishable by law (if you're 18 and your gf is not) or is very dangerous (HIV, all kinds of STDs).

FYI, HIV has an enormous window period. You can have it, transmittable, in your system for over a decade before it starts to take effect. Or it can hit you hard a few months after it enters your system. It's an unpredictable disease. Also, about 10% of the white population has some sort of T-cell membrane abnormality that renders the person essentially immune to AIDS, I think; they can carry it forever but it can't infect their cells.
I think the market for such a business is pretty small in any case. Condoms sound more effective and cheaper, especially since you can't guarantee for certain that anyone's totally clean.
