AS says all men over 40 pay for sex. He stated several times that he does. I think he should tell us how much Kerry pays and how much Obama pays. Ballpark I mean. He seems to know all the prices and knows the two men well.

Out of all "prostitutes" tested in a number of surveys--regardless of price range---the number infected with HPV varies. But in these surveys it has been found that many prostitutes carry more than 10 to 15 types of HPV (there are more than 100 types of HPV). Depending on the study between 85% to nearly 100% of all prostitutes carry one or more forms of HPV. Many of the types do not result in genital warts. Condoms can reduce, the chance of a partner becoming infected, but the odds of risk reduction can vary from 60% to as low as 30% depending on the part of the body with the infection. HPV spreads through sexual contact, to include, but not limited to, skin-to-skin contact typically of the legs, thighs and genital areas. Of the more than 100 different types of HPV, only a few cause genital warts. But these strains of the virus are highly contagious. About two-thirds of people who have sexual contact with someone who has genital warts develop the condition, usually within three months of contact. Cervical cancer is another serious concern. For some women, HPV converts cells on the surface of the cervix into cancer cells — often years after the initial infection. Limiting your number of sexual partners and using a condom every time you have sex can "moderately" reduce, but not eliminate one's risk of contracting HPV, as HPV infections are not limited just to the vagina or penis. Even with appropriate condom use, HPV can spread through any skin-to-skin contact with any infected part of the body and may even be transfered by rubbing the skin with towels that have utilized by an infected individual. Males or females that have frequent and habitual contact with prositutes have an alarmingly high rate of HPV infections and infect future partners at an alarming rate. The risk of being infected with HPV by just one or two encounters with an infected prostitute may be as high as 40% to 75%, depending on the stage and type of the HPV infection. Multiple contacts with an infected female or male vastly increases that likelyhood to nearly 100%. Utilization of a condom only moderately reduces the chance of spreading the infection depending on the location of the infection. Many HPV infections show no outer or obvious manifistations of the disease. The "myth" that the condom affords protection against all or most forms of STDs is just that---a myth! This data should not prevent those indiviudals that must engage in this risky behavior from utilizing condoms, but neither should they have a false sense of security. Condoms are moderately to highly effective in preventing some types of STDs and much less protective for numerous other infections.
