                    [Title] => Sex workers with HIV roam Angeles streets?
                    [Summary] => ANGELES CITY — Commercial sex workers, both male and female, still roam the city streets, and health authorities could not say whether some of them are among the 60 HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) cases confirmed here since 1985. 


Dr. Joven Esguerra, city health officer, told The STAR yesterday that the AIDS law has virtually hampered efforts by health officials to track down those infected with the dreaded virus, largely contracted through sexual contact, which could lead to full-blown AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome).
