TY  - CHAP
AB  - Sophie Day and Helen Ward for the health research group in Europap 1 Introduction: The ‘prostitute’s’ body is inscribed as a site of disease and a source of contagion; these webs of signification affect the research and interventions designed as well as the interpretation of results. Yet, stereotypes about sex work also change and we describe shifts in the imagery since the 1980s, when an AIDS panic was projected on to sex workers who, it was feared, would infect everyone else. This fear was soon dispelled through a lack of corroborative evidence.
