India: Wider Cellphone Use Among India’s Sex Workers Threatens HIV-Prevention Programs

The New York Times’ Gardiner Harris reports that, while cellphones on the one hand have helped sex workers in India achieve a certain degree of professional independence by letting them dictate the terms of payment and choose the clients they do business with, cellphones have also contributed to the recent closings of “hundred of ancient brothels.” So, explains Harris, although brothel closings represent “something of an economic victory for prostitutes, [it] may one day cost them, and many others, their lives.” That’s because, as part of an enormous (and surprisingly) successful AIDS preve
