I hadn't thought about it along those lines because it is about saving womens lives in the future and not about premiscues(help spell) sex.
It can and does happen to many women for no fault of their own or fault of the man. It is just something that gets passed from one to another during sex. It could be passed the first time only being with one person.

I believe you are much more familiar with Social Medicine than others here as you are living in Scottland.
