When the call center industry made it to the news last week being associated with HIV, I was not shocked. Admittedly, this branding is not good on the industry but what makes me think is the fact that why them? Why is it that the number of HIV cases on that field is high? Aside from HIV testing, do they also got gonorrhea testing and other testing for sexually transmitted infections? I knew that a lot raised their eyebrow on that, specially that it seems that the news are telling that people from call center industry have HIV. Is it really the case? Or is it just a case study that was sensationalized?

Sexually transmitted disease are highly transmitted through casual sex. Having more than one partner can put you into high risk. They say that in the call center industry, casual sex is very ordinary. They also said that is one of the reason why the number of people testing positive are high. I have nothing to say about this topic but I do have some theories on why people on this industry are way liberated than any other. I will post about it later.
