hook up apps ? can you use them trolling ? are they only for gay bar loiterers ?

Authorities undecided on name: Sexual health scare 2.0 or Clap from an App

Tinder, Grindr and other mobile "hook-up" apps have been blamed for a spike in sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in the US state of Rhode Island.‬From 2013 to 2014, infections of syphilis increased by 79 per cent, gonorrhea cases rose 30 per cent and new HIV diagnosis increased by about a third, according to data from the Rhode Island Department of Health. Hook-up apps may be partially to blame, according to officials, who also noted that other "high risk" behaviours and better medical testing may be also be factors in the rise.
High-risk behaviours include “using social media to arrange casual and often anonymous sexual encounters, having sex without a condom, having multiple sex partners and having sex while under the influence of drugs or alcohol”, agency officials said in a health alert.
Infection rates of all STDs continued to have a greater impact on the African-American, Hispanic and young adult populations.
Importantly, the health department noted a national increase in STDs, Time adds.
Rhode Island is unusual in singling out concerns that social media hook-up apps might encourage unsafe sex and therefore increase the spread of STDs. However, the interwebs have long been blamed for periodic increases in cases. For example, way back in 2000 an article in The Journal of the American Medical Association reported that an outbreak of syphilis around that time was linked to the amorous goings-on in a San Francisco chat room. ®

Sex disease surge in US state partly blamed on hook-up apps ? The Register

In My local area there is a road called New Road.
At dusk every corner had a working woman plying for trade from Men whom the Media dubbed as curb crawlers.
The Police took action to stop these , mainly married Men being abused by these vixens , as the public complained about these sirens. Policewoman dressed up to lure Males in cars acted to entrap these poor Men, and once convicted they where named and shamed in the local press.
So wives family and friends would know that they where convicted curb crawlers.
TODAY there are no women standing half naked in the freezing cold on New Road.
Where have they gone, has the law enforcement worked.
NO.
The girls now use the Internet to troll for prey.

The biggest disease of all wasnt mentioned. The reproduction of the said minorities.

And no. I don't think its from these dumb apps. Was there a spike when the telephone or Internet was invented?

I am sure the rise of facebook has contributed to an increase in shagging between the lovelorn previously consigned to masturbation

nfections of syphilis increased by 79 per cent, gonorrhea cases rose 30 per cent

Not very good reporting. Percentages are from what amount of cases? 10, 100, 100,000?

I feel your pain. I'm sure your conviction was very painful for yourself and your family. It was, of course, the women's fault, if they hadn't been there then you wouldn't have been caught soliciting. Have you thought about applying for a job as a Thai policeman?

How about blaming idiots having unsafe sex for a rise in disease, not mobile apps.

Syphilis: Diagnosis, Treatment, & Prevention

Primary and secondary syphilis are easy to treat with a penicillin injection. Penicillin is one of the most widely used antibiotics. It is usually effective in treating syphilis. People that are allergic to penicillin will be treated with a different oral antibiotic, such as tetracycline.

It's obviously been eating away at your brain for quite a few years.
