The HIV/AIDS pandemic still remains a major health
problem in Uganda. While early at the onset of the
AIDS epidemic, infection rates among certain groups
of commercial sex workers in Uganda were as high as
80%, the impact of AIDS interventions on sex worker
behavior and HIV/AIDS prevalence among this group
was not well known. Given the central role of sex
workers as high frequency transmitters in the
epidemiology of STD and HIV/AIDS, these groups need
priority focus in efforts to control sexually
transmitted diseases and HIV/AIDS.
In this book, the author undertook an in-depth study
of the causes and nature of prostitution, risk
practices, vulnerability and sexual behavioural
patterns related to HIV/AIDS among commercial sex
workers in Kampala City, the Capital of Uganda.
Ultimately, the study sought to provide information
on what interventions were necessary for protecting
sex workers and their clients from HIV/AIDS
infection. The book aims at providing guidance to
policy makers and program providers of the critical
facets in fighting HIV among Sex workers and the
genaral public, who constitute their clients.
