At the time there was an even larger stigma attached to sex work of all kinds and resources for education about and testing for VD was significantly more limited. As we all know, lack of education and testing resources leads to more disease and less treatment, especially in women who often don’t show symptoms.
I’m not saying that these advertisements are fair, and blaming it on the prostitutes is certainly not the way to go about things, but the wide world of STDs was much different than it is now.

That’s a terrible attempt at fear-mongering! We all know most men would just think “hey, I’m sure I can spot the 1 in 5 who doesn’t.”

Much better would be “Prostitutes will Bite Your Penis Off!” Or perhaps “Every time you pay for sex, your penis shrinks a little more.”

I mean, seriously, if you’re going to spread malicious lies and disparage an industry, at least do a good job of it. Use something that’ll actually scare men.
