A long time ago... Glory Days For Thai Girls

I always knew the past had better Thai girls and now have dug out some proof. Before there were over 550 girls to choose from, now left with less than 200.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the influence of the method of brothel keeper reimbursement on gonorrhoea prevalence rates among brothel-based female sex workers in Singapore. METHODS: Brothel-based sex workers in Singapore are tested for gonorrhea every two weeks. The prevalence of positive tests was calculated for each quarter of 1993 for brothels on four selected streets. These streets were chosen since they have different methods of brothel reimbursement, but are in the same area of the city and have sex workers with similar demographic profiles. On streets A (14 brothels, 174 sex workers) and B (7,101), the sex workers pay a flat rate for room rental; on streets C (20,117) and D (27,153), the sex workers pay a percentage of their earnings for each client seen. RESULTS: Greater than 90% of sex workers on each of these four streets were middle class (charging US $10-30 per client) and had no more than primary education. The mean worker ages for the four streets were similar (range 35-38 years). Anecdotal evidence suggests the client populations of these streets are similar. The prevalence (%) of positive gonorrhoea tests by street for 1993 are shown below (95% CI): TABULAR DATA, SEE ABSTRACT VOLUME. CONCLUSION: These preliminary data indicate that STD transmission within brothels may be influenced by aspects of brothel operating policy, in this case by the method of brothel reimbursement with higher rates in brothels that have a financial interest in each individual client. Although further work needs to be done to understand how this policy affects the sex worker-client interaction, these results suggest that educational and skills-reinforcing programmes for sex workers could be complemented by programmes aimed at brothel operating policy to enhance reduction of STD transmission in this setting.
