Abstract

The article discusses the correlations that exist between the sex trade and transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) have conducted studies on the need for multisectoral interventions to address the prevalence of HIV among sex workers in humanitarian settings. Conflicts and disasters facilitate the sell of sex due to factors such as poverty, the separation of families, and breakdowns in community support mechanisms. The author urges that HIV prevention measures need to be extended beyond the healthcare sector.
