Int J STD & AIDS, 1999, 10:665-668 Sex Workers in St. Petersburg Russia Observations Motivations: quick money for survival needs, including food, lodging and medicine; obtain money for luxuries; support a drug habit; to travel abroad and meet potential marital partners. Initiation into sex work usually through friends and occasionally through applications to Internet agencies. Sex work in Russia in high demand, widespread and reaches deep into society. The social backgrounds of sex workers are highly varied; some from very poor backgrounds; others from high socioeconomic status families. Ukraine Estimated HIV prevalence 1.4% of population, Fueled by IDUs, sex workers High proportion of sex workers HIV+ •42% newly diagnosed HIV in 2004 were females Epidemic in Eastern Europe is Maturing • Increasing sexual transmission (6% infections in 2001 -25% in 2004) • HIV + in pregnant women increased from <0.01% in 1998 to 0.11% 2003. • Recent surveys ->80% male IDUs didn’t use condoms regularly in last month • Continued growth sex industry, rising number women migrating for work How HIV Spreads out of High Risk Populations • IDUs are sexually active • Many sex workers also inject drugs • Most male clients of sex workers have other sexual partners, including wives & steady girlfriends • HIV infection filters gradually from injecting drug users & commercial sex workers to their regular sex partners who may have no other risk of exposure to the virus High Proportion of Men who Inject Drugs are also Clients of Sex Workers. Most do not Use Condoms HIV/AIDS in Asia 60% of world’s population 8.3 million infected There is no “Asian HIV epidemic”; much diversity in the nature, pace, and severity of the HIV epidemic across Asia, between and within countries. Areas of rapid increases in HIV (China, Vietnam, Indonesia); Areas of sustained epidemic levels (India, Myanmar); areas of HIV declines (Thailand, Cambodia), and low prevalence countries (Laos, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Phillippines). Transmission of HIV in Asia • Most infections occur through unsafe commercial sex • injecting drugs with contaminated equipment What do Asian epidemics look like?
