This unique book draws on nearly two hundred face-to-face interviews that the author conducted on the streets with heroin-addicted street prostitutes in Southern California and their counterparts in four large Mexican cities. It illustrates the significant--and surprising--differences in the risk of exposure to HIV and other STDs that exist between street prostitutes in the two countries; differences arising from the legality, sociology, and economics of sex work in each country. Helpful tables and an appendix containing the author's survey questions make the data in this well-referenced book easily understandable.
