Program in
Costa Rica Will
Allow Sex
Workers To Learn
HIV Prevention
Methods From
January, 2009
Commercial sex
workers in Costa
Rica will have
the opportunity
to learn about
HIV prevention
methods from
other sex
workers through
a new program
implemented by a
local
nongovernmental
organization and
funded by the
World Bank, the
EFE/Market Watch
reports.
Officials with
the NGO --
called the "La
Sala"
Association for
the Improvement
of Quality of
Life of Sexual
Workers -- will
train 22 sex
workers to
deliver messages
about
prevention,
including condom
use, and
information
about the sex
workers' rights.
Project
coordinator
Maria Diaz said
the goal of the
program is to
"empower sexual
workers in the
matter of
prevention."
The program is
expected to have
a multiplier
effect in the
commercial sex
work industry
and raise
awareness among
customers,
brothel owners
and workers.
"This part will
be difficult,"
Diaz said,
adding, "What we
want is for the
(brothel)
managers to
understand the
advantages of
having their
locales free of
HIV and for them
to promote them
as places where
they apply
preventive
practices."
The program will
begin in San
Jose and expand
to Limon and
Puntarenas. The
World Bank
donated $50,000
to the program
