PHNOM PENH, March 6 (Xinhua) — Abortions and alcohol drinking at workplace are common issues among female entertainment workers in Cambodia, according to a new study released Wednesday.
The study, designed by NGO FHI 360 and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF)-Cambodia, was conducted on 77 women, men and men having sex with men in Phnom Penh city, Siem Reap city, Poipet city and Sihanoukville.
It aimed at examining HIV risks among female workers in entertainment places such as bars, beer gardens, discotheques, karaoke parlors and night clubs. “Abortions and drinking are common among them,”the report said, adding that those workers knew clearly how to prevent HIV.
It is estimated that the country has about 35,000 females working in entertainment places. According to the National Aids Authority, entertainment workers are classified into the high-risk group of HIV infections besides drug users.
Speaking at the launching of the study, Mak Vann, secretary of state at the Ministry of Education, said the result of the study was useful for concerned institutions and non-governmental organizations to find ways to assist entertainment workers in preventing HIV infections.
According to the National institute of Public Health, currently, about 77,861 Cambodian people have contracted HIV/AIDS including 5, 349 children.
The disease killed about 2,365 people in 2012, down 9 percent from 2,608 deaths in 2011.

That's not a very nice thing to say. Their love one is as innocent as the people that they screw.
