Sex Work

 According to AVERT:

"Although sex workers are severely affected by AIDS in many parts of the world (as we discuss in our ‘AIDS and prostitution’ page), they are also one of the groups most likely to respond well to HIV prevention campaigns."

"Prevention campaigns aimed at sex workers not only reduce the number of HIV infections that result from paid sex; they can also play a vital role in restricting the overall spread of HIV in a country. Proof of this can be seen in countries such as Bangladesh, Benin, Cambodia, the Dominican Republic and Thailand, where general reductions in the national HIV prevalence have been largely attributed to HIV prevention initiatives aimed at sex workers and their clients.
