Maki from our staff will answer as well.
There really are people like that. For example, with chlamydia, about half of men and as many as 80% of women reportedly don’t notice any symptoms. So it’s quite possible to spread it without realizing it. We recommend getting tested regularly.

> I heard there are people on papa-katsu apps who deliberately transmit STIs.
I can’t believe people like that exist…
Apps can be scary.
With Universe Club, members can contact the staff, so if someone like that is reported, multiple people will reach out to us and we can stop them from going on dates right away.
That said, we can’t do anything if no one contacts us, and there’s nothing we can do about second and subsequent meetings arranged outside the club. We also can’t contact anyone who has already withdrawn.
Even so, it feels a little safer than an app where people are simply left unchecked.
But it’s only a little safer, so you still need to protect yourself.
> Can you tell by someone’s appearance whether they have an STI?
Apparently, there are cases where you can, so I think you should take a good look at your partner’s genitals somewhere well lit.

You shouldn’t take rumors online at face value, haha.
That said, there are definitely some strange people out there. In terms of how often you’re likely to encounter them, I’d say dating apps > adult entertainment services > dating clubs. The more closely the operators keep an eye on things, the lower the odds become. Overseas, by the way, it’s even worse. Japan is actually unbelievably safe by global standards. Anyone who says Japan is dangerous is just overly sheltered.
Either way, the odds can never be zero, so you do need to protect yourself. For example, I once called in an escort, had her undress, and noticed an obvious smell. Thinking it would be risky to receive oral sex from her, I did everything I could to persuade her to switch to protected sex, and managed to avoid trouble. At that point, it’s basically a battlefield, so you have to be desperate. By the end, though, you’re left with plenty of amusing war stories. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it, but I thought I’d share.

I’ve heard that back when AIDS was considered an incurable disease, there were people who behaved that way.
Also, last year there was news about a man in his 50s who, after learning he had COVID, told his family things like, “I’m going to spread the virus,” then stopped by a restaurant and later died.
There may be people with that kind of mentality among those with sexually transmitted infections as well.
I think it’s difficult to identify them by appearance, so it may be best to avoid contact with unspecified numbers of people.

Your question is incoherent. Are you okay?
Isn’t the idea that people with STIs want to pass them on just your own speculation?
How does that lead to the statement that Japan is in trouble?
I don’t think you can tell whether someone has an STI just by looking at them.
