What are the risks associated with prostitution?

### REPLY:
Prostitution carries various risks, including the potential for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), physical violence, emotional trauma, and legal consequences. Engaging in sexual activities with multiple partners without proper protection increases the risk of contracting STIs. Sex workers may also face violence from clients or pimps, as well as the psychological toll of engaging in a stigmatized profession. Additionally, prostitution laws vary in different jurisdictions, and individuals involved in prostitution may face legal repercussions.
