Standard

This is awful, and needs serious work! Mgoodyear (talk) 16:19, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, its three years later and this article is still very weak. 105.249.148.59 (talk) 05:24, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Change name

The name should be changed to Sex Work in South Africa, the word prostitution holds a very negative connotation and adds the idea that all sex workers are back alley, super sketchy people. The work sex workers gives them legitimacy and they are doing actual work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Albowl (talk • contribs) 03:54, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Non sequitur

'The British Association on Sexual Health and HIV (BASHH) has also stated that there is very low risk of transmission of HIV with a condom.' Can't see what this has got to with the subject of this section. Valetude (talk) 19:19, 26 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
