Can health programmes lead to mistreatment of sex workers?

An article by  Loff B., Longo P. and Overs C. in The Lancet, Volume 361, Issue 9373, Pages 1982 - 1983, 7 June 2003.

The authors argue that health interventions that are designed without the involvement of sex workers, like the 100% Condom Use Programme which is supported by both the World Health Organisation and the Joint United Nations' Programme on AIDS (UNAIDS), can have negative repercussions for sex workers. Enabling strategies that build social capital among sex workers, allowing them to organise and lobby for better working conditions, would seem to be a more effective approach than creating new means of abuse, especially in environments prone to corruption.
