Prostitution involving both sexes occurs in many countries throughout the world. In some countries where sex work is illegal, it occurs underground. Sex workers have few or no rights and are taken advantage of by those who pay for their services. Even in countries with high HIV prevalence, those who pay for their services will often insist on paying more to have unprotected sex than use condoms to protect themselves from STI/HIV infections. Consequently, female sex workers also end up becoming pregnant and are in turn forced to terminate their unwanted pregnancies.
