This book is being brought to the attention of those concerned with HIV/AIDS because of the direct relationship between many sex workers and HIV/AIDS. Although not all sex workers perform unsafe sex, the majority do, thus increasing the incidence of being infected and once being infected of infecting others. This is a graphic book that tantalizes the reader "with its powerful collection of tales from a diverse group of male, female, and transgendered sex workers." It explores accounts from streetworkers, escorts, strippers, porn actors, masseurs, dominatrixes, phone sex operators, an adult-video store clerk, an outreach worker, a sex education, and even a sperm donor. It is a recommended book for all academic libraries and a must-read for those who are sex workers.
