Well, that's just nitpicking. The implicit assumption (that young women aren't much less likely a priori than old women to have STDs) is so uncontroversial that it's not such a fatal mistake to not make it explicit. For that matter, it doesn't make explicit the assumption that ceteris paribus people would prefer not to have STDs, either.
