If the sex trade is decriminalized, it will help to have a cleaner and healthier environment. Although the use of contraceptives is available, many of them do not use it. In most cases, this happens because the customer does not want to use it or because they do not have access to any. Due to this complication, many sexually transmitted diseases and infections are spreading which alter the health of both women and men. According to the article “Is Regulation the Solution to Sex Trafficking?” by Karen Coca, “Most victims spend years without adequate medical care. Due to lack of knowledge or access, they fail to use safety measures such as contraceptives.” Due to the lack of medical care available, the rates of sexually transmitted diseases and deaths increase and make it more dangerous to work because they not only put their lives at risk, but also those of their clients. By regulating it, the government can monitor and regulate laws related to constant checks on both prostitutes and clients. In brothels such as Amsterdam and Nevada, where prostitution is regulated, workers are regularly tested for sexually transmitted infections. This helps make the work environment cleaner, healthier and cleaner
