- Description
- HIV prevalence remains relatively low among non-IVDU prostitutes in Europe. While intravenous drug use remains the most important risk factor for HIV, petroleum-based lubricants may be a risk factor for HIV among European female sex workers: over 80% of those interviewed always used condoms.
