Besides, if legalizing prostitution lowers the infection rate, then why does Brazil have three times the infection rate of Mexico (or of many other Latin American countries) where prostitution is illegal? Is it possible that the premise is incorrect? Is that a debatable subject or am I stupid and wrong for even presuming to ask?
