Breaking the circle of commercial sex workers

[摘要] ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In this article it is important that we deal with the problem of the circle of Commercial Sex Workers as a high risk practice. It is indeed a fact that a number of commercial sex workers increases day by day. What can be done to break the circle of commercial sex work as it affects everybody? Why is HIV and AIDS and commercial sex workers inseparable?Although the word 'prostitution can be used to describe the act of selling sex, it can also mean 'using a skill or ability in a way that is considered unworthy. It seems to include a moral judgement, by implying that individuals who sell sex are somehow 'unworthy, or involved in a practice that is corrupt. A far more neutral and respectful alternative is the term 'sex work.We have to eliminate discrimination and stigma and deal with the prevention of frequent infections, for both the sellers and the buyers. Most of the time we concentrate on the sellers (commercial sex workers) more than the buyers. It is important that we encourage faithfulness, one partner who is steady, the correct use of condoms as well as Voluntary counselling and testing in our communities rather than encouraging girlchild or women and men in this Commercial Sex Work industry through workshops and awareness.We have to reduce HIV prevalence as much as we can and to create income generating projects for our communities by educating and giving skill to the communities. 'Let us Break this circle of Commercial sex work with positive attitude as we are in one way or the other living with HIV.
