Sex work is stigmatized in many countries but should be addressed from a public health perspective. In Bangladesh, there are approximately 140,000 sex workers where risks for HIV and other STIs are high. Female sex workers in Bangladesh have a 53.3% rate of STDs and are 13.5 times more likely to contract HIV than other women. The government has created programs focused on behavior change, condom promotion, and care services to address these health issues affecting sex workers.
