Notes that the use of condoms reduces the risk of spreading HIV infection through sexual relations but that several studies show that clients in the sex trade prefer to buy sex without condoms; stresses, therefore, that all prostitution entails a higher risk of infection; considers that the legalisation of prostitution results in a general increase in both the legal and illegal sex trade, from which a greater risk of infection ensues; considers that the legalisation of prostitution does not result in safer sex either since it has proved very difficult in practice to control the use of condoms even in legal brothels; points out, moreover, that regulated health checks cover only those who sell sex, not the clients;
