Report: Sex workers spread herpes in Iloilo
July 26, 2007
No thanks to sex workers operating without health permits, the incidence of the sexually transmitted disease (STD) herpes is now on the rise in Iloilo.
Iloilo news site The News Today reported Wednesday that the unlicensed workers are familiar faces to police but continue to prowl the city streets at night.
The report said some 17 of the sex workers are now subject of concern of a local task force, repeatedly flunking the required smearing tests.

A male complainant guided Task Force agents to the pickup joint where he got the commercial sex worker for a night of promised “fun and excitement.”
Within days, the male customer began to have a mouth infection later diagnosed as herpes.
Task Force chairwoman Mayette Geremias warned the public anew particularly men who frequent the pickup spots to make sure that they are dealing with registered commercial sex workers.
She said the registered ones are card-bearing workers who have government go-signal for a clean bill of health or at least clean of any STD. - GMANews.TV
