Prostitutes test positive for STDs

SEMARANG: About 10 percent of an estimated 700 prostitutes operating here have been diagnosed with sexually transmitted diseases and have probably infected many teenage customers, provincial administration spokeswoman Harini Krisniati said on Thursday.

She said young men were frequent customers of prostitutes operating along Jl. A. Yani, Jl. Pemuda, Jl. Simpang Lima and Pandanaran area.

"I suspect that many students have been infected with gonorrhea or other sexually transmitted diseases," she said. (har/edt)
