AB The social dynamics of prostitution render prostitutes unable at times
to meet basic human needs, vulnerable to violence, and at risk for
sexually transmitted disease. Since April 1989 a mobile van from a
private foundation has been contacting prostitutes throughout the five
boroughs of New York City to provide HIV testing and counseling and to
distribute condoms, bleach kits for cleaning needles, and HIV prevention
information. Data collected from 1,963 female prostitutes are discussed
in this article. Information is provided on demographics, family and
living arrangements, sex and drug practices, HIV status and risk
reduction practices, and health history. Methods are discussed for
social workers to develop creative ways to provide outreach and develop
relationships with a vulnerable population that invests much effort in
remaining concealed.
