If they all sleep with each other, they're safe, but if one person has an STD, I'm sure the others do. But I don't see how, if they don't do anything out their community.
shareThey probably do at some point. I know since the incest is rampant, their children usually have many disabilities. But they chalk that up to not "keeping sweet" or being right with God. The wife is punished if she has a disabled child

shareHe swaps sleeping with women. He's bound to have some kind of disease. That's like a player. Players sleep around with different women.
