International Aids Conference: Prostitutes demand right to better protection from virus: Correction

AN article in our issue of 11 August about the meeting at the international Aids conference of prostitutes and workers in the sex industry incorrectly stated that Ruth Morgan Thomas, project co-ordinator for the Scottish Prostitutes Education Project, was HIV positive.

We should like to make it clear that Ms Morgan Thomas is not HIV positive and we apologise for any distress or embarrassment our error may have caused.
