Solicitation of sex shouldn't be illegal in the first place. Why is it the government's business what two consenting adults do? Plus, by legalizing and regulating the industry you'll get rid of the seedier elements and provide a safer environment for the workers.
When you regulate and mandate medical screenings for STD's then the STD rate goes down. This has happened in the past and it's been documented that STD rates do go down.

Population control. STD's, then plague. Well played San Fran. Do your part to bring down those numbers.
"We will not prosecute cases involving quality-of-life crimes," he said. "Crimes such as public camping, offering or soliciting sex, public urination, blocking a sidewalk, etc., should not and will not be prosecuted. Many of these crimes are still being prosecuted; we have a long way to go to decriminalize poverty and homelessness.”

Like most things if you don’t want to pay for sex or be paid for it ... don’t.
If that's what you want, go to Nevada. It's technically still illegal in Cali and so your "pro" will still be the same drug-addled, disease ridden underage trafficked person she always was who's being exploited by her pimp.
