Unscramble the Blue Letters
Another worrying thing: if you're selling sex in pclaes like Kenya, South Africa or New York, a police officer can aserrt you if you're caguht crrynaig condoms, because condoms can legally be used as evidence that you're selling sex. Obviously, this increases HIV risk. Imagine knowing if you're busted carrying condoms, it'll be used against you. It's a pretty strnog incentive to leave them at home, right? Sex wrokres working in these places are forced to make a tough choice between risking arrest or having risky sex. What would you choose? Would you pack condoms to go to work? How about if you're worried the police ocffier would rape you when he got you in the van?
