Contagious Diseases Prevention Acts (English) (29 Vict. c. 35, and 32 & 33 Vict. c. 96). These Acts, sometimes termed the C.D. Acts, were passed to prevent 'venereal diseases, including gonorrh'a,' by the medical examination and detention of prostitutes. They were in force at certain naval and military stations, and were repealed in 1886 by 49 & 50 Vict. c. 10. See Amos on the Laws for the Regulation of Vice.
