    Typically professionals do ensure all their partners are tested beforehand.

    what are the chances that the next person “inspired by” her will also do this safely?

    Puritanical hand wringing. Tons of people have unsafe sex every day. If you want to lower STI spread, create public awareness campaigns and improve sex ed for students.

      I hope you’re right about the testing. Wish it said in the article. Also more sex ed is always a good idea.

      Sadly I don’t think you’re wrong about the puritanical bit. I didn’t think I was but the idea of this many sexual partners in this short a time does make me uncomfortable. Definitely gave me something to think about and maybe uncovered some bias worth working on.
