AS BUYERS

Using the same report by the commission, they pointed out that infected drug injectors can introduce the virus into the sex trade into ways: as buyers (male injectors buy sex from sex workers whom they infect), or as sellers (female drug injectors sell sex to male clients, whom they infect). In principle, its a cycle of how and to whom we get the virus.
