I usually travel to Jamaica solo, as a mid-50's woman, and I'm really uncomfortable with the assumption that someone of my profile is presumed to be looking to purchase sex... but the minute I hit the beach, I get hit up by potential 'husbands'. Call me a prude, but even in the States, I have to see a clean bill of health from his doctor before I'll go there. I just don't understand the mentality of some tourists (including many boardies who have posted of their wreckless activity). Consider that the prevalence of HIV infection is almost three times that in the U.S. An estimated 5% of 'sex workers' in Jamaica are infected ....... that's 1 in 20 Jamaican 'sex workers' are infected...... Given those odds, and some of the trip reports that I've seen posted here, there's probably several boardies who are HIV positive (even though they probably don't know it).
