What was ironic about the Contagious Diseases Act of 1864?

  b. Designed to screen prostitutes for sexually transmitted infections, many women examined under the Act became infected for the first time when unsterile speculum were used to examine them.
  c. Those who implemented the Act were in favor of helping reduce the spread of sexually transmitted infections; however, law enforcement officials used the act as a way to arrest prostitutes, causing most prostitutes and physicians to avoid testing facilities.
