Sex workers have been the protagonists and focus of HIV prevention campaigns and research since the late 1980s in Brazil. Through a review of national and international literature, combined with a history of sex workers' involvement in the construction of the Brazilian response, this article explores the overlaps and disconnects between research and practice in contexts of prostitution over the past three decades. We review the scientific literature on the epidemiology of HIV among sex workers and prevention methodologies. We conclude that although research focus and designs often reinforce the idea that sex workers' vulnerability is due to their sexual relationships with clients, their greatest vulnerability has been found to be with their nonpaying intimate partners. Few studies explore their work contexts and structural factors that influence safe sex practices with both types of partners. The negative effects of criminalization, stigma, and exclusively biomedical and peer education-based approaches are well documented in the scientific literature and experiences of sex worker activists, as is the importance of prevention programs that combine empowerment and human rightsbased approach to reduce HIV infection rates. We conclude that there is a need for actions, policies, and research that encompass the environment and context of sex workers' lives and reincorporate the human rights and citizenship frame that dominated the Brazilian response until the end of the 2000s. As part of HIV prevention efforts, female sex workers need to be considered above all as women, equal to all others.

“…Ellas dicen disfrutar estos japonesas o devadasis indias, representa una transformación respecto del modelo moderno de prostitución. También otros estudios señalan la presencia de performances parecidas en Copacabana, Brasil Blanchette, 2005). Resulta difícil saber hasta qué punto este paradigma de "sexo comercial postindustrial" como opuesto al modelo moderno se adapta a las configuraciones de los mercados sexuales argentinos (en un sentido similar apuntan las diferencias que plantea Piscitelli para comprender las especificidades del llamado "tercer mundo", 2011).…”

ResumenEste artículo aborda los vínculos entre mujeres que ofrecen sexo comercial y sus clientes, enfocando en aquellas relaciones que se cargan de afectos y escapan a los estereotipos de la prostitución. A partir del análisis de entrevistas con mujeres que hacen sexo comercial bajo diferentes modalidades y en tres ciudades de Argentina, se delinean tres tipos de relaciones con diversas formas de arreglos económicos y sexo-afectivos. Desde allí se abre la reflexión sobre los posibles sentidos de los intercambios de sexo comercial más allá de los esquemas dicotómicos.

This is not only a complex process of gendering but also a racializing process: in Rio de Janeiro, the women who are characterized by these highly stereotypical attributes are those locally known as mulatas, defined by their brown skin, mixed racial descent, and sometimes skill at the samba.…”

Natasha Pravaz is an associate professor of anthropology at Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Canada. Her work concentrates on the performative production of social identities, with a focus on the racialization of gender and on intercultural exchange in the context of Latin American dance and music. She has published on Brazilian samba, the myth of "racial democracy," and the carnivalesque and is currently pursuing research among local and diasporic sambistas in the city of Toronto.In Rio de Janeiro, mulatas-brown-skinned women of mixed racial descent who dance the samba in Carnival parades and in nightclubs-have become multifocal symbols eliciting associations that resonate both with colonial morality and with mestiçagem, the narrative of racial and cultural mixing as a cornerstone of nationhood. Because of these associations, a dangerous border crossing takes place whenever they dance the samba in public: they may become icons of nationhood, but this may call into question their moral standing. Women who occupy this subject position attempt to maintain a modicum of respectability as they manipulate the objectifying gaze of Brazilians and foreigners to the best of their ability. They also attempt to portray their dance skills as culturally "authentic" in the search for legitimacy and racial pride. Ultimately, samba is a stage upon which the economic needs, embodied desires, and ethnic identities of Brazilian women clash and collude with the neo-colonial dreams of tourists and cosmopolitans. Na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, as mulatas-mulheres de ascendência racial misturada que dançam o samba nos desfiles de carnaval e nas boites-se tornaram símbolos polivalentes que evocam associações ressonantes com a moralidade colonial e com o discurso da mestiçagem (mistura racial e cultural) comofundamento da brasilidade.Por causa destas associações, elas negociam um espaço perigoso cada vez que sambam em público: podem tornar-se símbolos da nação, mas isto pode gerar dúvidas sobre a sua reputação moral. As mulheres nesta posição social tentam manter um mínimo de respeito social através da manipulação dos olhares brasileiros e estrangeiros que as reificam. Em busca de legitimidade e orgulho racial, elas procuram definir suas habilidades artísticas comoculturalmente "autênticas." Por fim, o samba é um palco onde as necessidades econômicas, os desejos encarnados e as identidades étnicas da mulher brasileira se embatem e conspiram com os sonhos neo-coloniais de turistas e cosmopolitas.In the past decade, scholars have critically engaged the processes by which Brazilian women have been internationally typecast as sexually available, great in bed, and otherwise defined by their sexuality (see, e.g.
