Description:
L'on ne peut trop insister sur l'importance de concevoir et d'exécuter des interventions ciblées
et efficaces sur les travailleurs du sexe dans le cadre de la prévention et du contrôle du VIH.
Dans presque tous les pays, les travailleurs du sexe représentent un foyer de l'épidémie. Les
travailleurs du sexe sont victimes de discrimination (souvent très forte), de trafic, de
poursuites judiciaires et d'ambivalence dans l'attitude de la société. Une leçon de santé
publique révélée par l'épidémie du VIH est que la protection des droits humains des
travailleurs du sexe est une composante essentielle du contrôle du VIH/SIDA.
