AB OBJECTIVE: The enlightenment of the marginal layers of prostitutes in
the capital, with regard to illnesses spread through sex, with
particular emphasis on the transmission of HIV, the dangers and health
hazards following their style of life, and the possibilities and methods
of prevention. METHODS: 1) Only those street workers can reach the
endangered persons from the aspects of AIDS, who belonged to this layer
and are appropriately prepared. The future street workers have been
looked for and found in shelters for the homeless, juvenile institutes
and family care centres. 2) So far we ran four courses of education,
each of a duration of six weeks. In 1992, altogether nine and in 1993
fourteen of our street workers were active after being instructed in
AIDS prevention in our Institute. 3) In order to evaluate the work of
the street workers we applied the worksheet used by the Cardiff street
workers. RESULTS: In 1992, the street workers had 5,290 meetings of
concrete value, out of this 67.8 per cent were with males and 32.2 per
cent females. In two-thirds of the meetings, the street workers handed
out condoms. 23.7 per cent of the clients used condoms. In 1993, we
experienced a significant increase in the handing out of condoms.
CONCLUSIONS: The monitoring of the work in the 1992-1993 years indicated
that the peer preventive activity of the street workers not only reached
the marginal prostitute layer, but also drug addicts in their
surroundings, the homeless and alcoholics.
