She says good health is more than physical. It is also a sense of well-being, along with personal safety and security.
The group also criticized a part of PEPFAR, the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief. It is a rule known as the Anti-Prostitution Loyalty Oath. It is more commonly known as the anti-prostitution pledge, and is contained in the two thousand three United States Leadership against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria Act.
It requires groups receiving United States support to fight HIV/AIDS around the world to agree to a policy of opposing sex work and human trafficking. International organizations face either taking the pledge or losing funding.
The international sex workers’ rights movement and others have launched a campaign to cancel the pledge, as well as provisions that block immigration based on sex work. They are also calling for an end to criminal laws against sex work. They say it drives sex for pay underground while increasing the risk for violence and of not receiving health services.

CHRISTOPHER CRUISE: The HIV/AIDS epidemic is more than thirty years old. But, at this year’s International AIDS Conference there was talk of ending the disease through scientific progress and public health policy.
Dr. Anthony Fauci says it was many small steps over more than thirty years that led to today’s major gains against HIV/AIDS.
DR. ANTHONY FAUCI: “We want to get to the end of AIDS. That will only occur with some fundamental foundations. And these foundations are basic and clinical research, which will give us the tools, which will ultimately lead to interventions and then ultimately these will need to be implemented together with studies about how best to implement them.”
