    Author: Manaloto CR, Hayes CG, Padre LP, Espinosa G, Andrada A, Mejia P, Cano D, Basaca-Sevilla V.
    Journal: Southeast Asian J Trop Med Public Health; 1990 Jun; 21(2):301-5. PubMed ID: 2237598.
    Abstract:
    A study of female prostitutes in Manila who tested positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody ascertained demographic and sexual behavior information following diagnosis. Counselling alone did not appear to have a major impact on the sexual behavior of the HIV positive women since most continued to work as prostitutes. Switching from high risk to low risk jobs in bars is not effective in preventing HIV positive women from engaging in prostitution. Revoking work permits is only effective if enforced with adequate follow up. Alternative job training programs may offer a viable approach.
