Since a lot of people are having a problem with the legal/illegal argument, I'll side with mal but give a different reason.
People in porn are regularly tested for STDs as a matter of practice, but with a prostitute, getting tested is up to her and her customer has no incentive to be tested. Her next customer could be more diseased than the monkey in outbreak, but there's no guarantee that he's been tested, or that he even cares that he could be putting her in danger. Beyond that, those in porn don't really have to fear the people they're having sex with, no worry about some some random creep attacking them. For a prostitute, that danger is always there.
