Opposing and preventing the scapegoating of sex workers for HIV and AIDS

Prostitute women do not "spread HIV or AIDS". We challenge all assumptions put out by drug companies and/or governments which stand to profit from them financially or politically. We oppose compulsory HIV testing. We support all mothers' right to breastfeed their babies regardless of HIV status, to have access to independent and reliable information, and to refuse conventional treatment.
