Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While prostitution can increase the risk of contracting AIDS, relatively few prostitutes in the United States actually contract the virus. The use of condoms can greatly reduce the risk of transmission, and many prostitutes in the US insist on their use. However, this may not be the case in all countries or contexts. Option A is false as anyone can contract AIDS, regardless of their length of time as a prostitute. Option B is false as the AIDS virus is believed to have originated from a type of chimpanzee in Central Africa and was likely spread to humans through the hunting and consumption of these animals. Option D is false as it oversimplifies the issue and does not take into account the power dynamics present in many commercial sex transactions.
