Elite army soldiers have reportedly been put on STI alert for fear of a herpes outbreak involving a local woman recorded in an orgy at their barracks.
Racy video leaked from the Colchester Parachute Regiment appears to show several soldiers having sex with a red-haired woman.
According to an insider at British Army barracks in Essex, the woman who has visited soldiers there more than 30 times in the past five months has contracted herpes.
It is understood that anyone who got frisky with the guest was told to get tested for the sexually transmitted disease.
Symptoms of herpes include blisters and a burning sensation around the genitals and anus.

The barracks insider shared his disgust as he revealed the woman had been checked into the camp dozens of times after night outs since February.
Army personnel at the barracks were instructed to notify her 31 lovers that she had been diagnosed with herpes.
Of that number, 30 are believed to be soldiers and the other a captain, according to a series of messages shared on WhatsApp.
Outbreak fears come after soldiers from the 16th Air Assault Brigade were seen watching colleagues enjoying what appeared to be an orgy.

In the footage, soldiers from the 3rd Battalion of the Parachute Regiment could be seen naked in various areas of Merville Barracks in Colchester, Essex.
The footage has now sparked an investigation by the Royal Military Police, who are investigating how the woman entered the barracks and whether troops broke orders.
It is reported that the woman can be seen having sex with one soldier while another greets his colleague.
An Army spokesman said it “expects the highest standards of behavior from all its personnel”.
They continued: “Anyone who fails to meet these standards will be investigated and appropriate action will be taken against them,” they said.

“The Royal Military Police are investigating several videos that appear to implicate members of the military.
“It would be inappropriate to comment further while investigations are ongoing.”
Herpes is an incurable disease and although some symptoms may go away on their own, the blisters will reappear in future outbreaks, the NHS website says.
Sexual health doctors treat herpes patients with antiviral drugs to prevent symptoms from worsening, but must be taken within five days of the onset of symptoms.
Patients can also expect to receive pain relief cream.
