- Description
- This book is about six male street prostitutes who, in the absence of the choices most young people take for granted, sold sex to stay alive. They explain how they dealt with sexual abuse, and the things that saw them through these times like drugs, alcohol and gambling machines. The boys describe whati it was like to be homeless and living on the street, with all the risks that entails. Two of them describe how they coped with contracting HIV at a time when their lives were in chaos.
