175 prostitutes from the Dominican Republic are being used as guinea pigs in a trial of a possible AIDS vaccine. Though the number of AIDS deaths has decreased in the Caribbean, nearly 75% of Caribbean AIDS cases are in the Dominican Republic and Haiti and prostitution remains as a risky though viable option for impoverished women. The sex workers involved in the medical trial are compensated for their participation though one of them notes the pride in participating by saying that "we are doing it for the world."

That one girl in red looks hot...but the sad thing about sex is that it's not always fun when you catch something...and most people try to hide it by turning the lights off so you can't see them....
Always make sure you go get tested with someone you know and trust before having sex with them...and get to know their hygiene habits, etc...I learned the hard way...have this rash on my inner thigh that won't stop itching!
So what the hell is that rash you have??
