Sexually transmitted infections STI ; are an occupational risk for people who sell sex, but most are very keen to keep themselves and their partners safe. Many people believe that sex workers have a high risk of and play an important role in transmission of STIs. Research in Europe over the past two decades has been important in countering this belief 1-3 ; . Studies consistently show a high rate of condom use in commercial sex, and relatively low risks of HIV and other STI for women sex workers 2, 3 ; . A survey of 945 women sex workers in nine European cities in 1990-1 found an overall HIV-1 prevalence of 5.3%, associated with sharing injecting equipment, coming from a high prevalence area, and use of incompatible lubricants during sex. Women who did not inject drugs had a prevalence of 1.5% 1 ; . Two cohort studies in Europe have shown a relatively low incidence of HIV infection 0.2 and 0.9 cases per 100 person years respectively in the United Kingdom and Spain ; 2, 4 ; . Higher risks have been found in more stigmatised sex workers, including men who sell sex, transgenders, and injecting drug users 5, 6 ; . In 1993 EUROPAP : europap ; , the European Network for HIV STD Prevention in Prostitution, was created to promote the health and wellbeing of sex workers in Europe. This network facilitates the sharing of experience and good practice, assesses the health impacts of different policies on prostitution, and produces training materials. EUROPAP is funded in part by the European Commission, and has representatives in 18 European countries with links to over 400 projects. Earlier this year a successful conference with 180 participants from 39 countries was held 7 ; . EUROPAP works closely with sex worker organisations, as they have a key role to play in advocacy and promoting health through challenging abuse and exploitation. Over the past decade major social changes have had an impact on prostitution, and EUROPAP has documented these changes and made recommendations to maintain the health of sex workers. For example, increasing mobility has transformed sex work in many European cities. A recent survey has shown that the proportion of migrant workers has increased from 24% in 1990-1 to 56% in 2001 8 ; . Many migrant workers spend relatively short times in each city, creating challenges for preventive healthcare and management. Together with the TAMPEP Transnational AIDS STD Prevention among Migrant Prostitutes in Europe Project ; network, EUROPAP has produced Hustling for Health, a manual with advice on best practice in health promotion and healthcare delivery 9 ; . This manual is now available in ten languages, including Russian. Outreach was found to be useful both for reaching sex workers with health promotion messages, and in some situations for directly delivering services such as hepatitis B vaccination 10 and monopril. Many techniques have been used to provide controlled and extended-release pharmaceutical dosage forms in order to maintain therapeutic serum levels of medicaments and to minimize the effects of missed doses of drugs caused by a lack of patient compliance.
