How much is your life worth?

Three hundred and fifty pula. (about 54Canadian dollars)

That's how much the prostitutes who live near my house charge for unprotected sex. It's only 50 pula if you wear a condom. You'd be surprised how many people pay the big bucks for condomless sex, with reasons like "you wouldn't eat a candy with the wrapper on, would you?"

A lot of people prefer the feeling of unprotected sex, but that doesn't mean they partake in it, especially not with people they don't know and those who work in the sex trade. It makes no sense. Especially in Botswana.

The HIV prevalence rate in Botswana is 17.6 percent.

You do the math.

So, how much is your life worth?

Mine is worth a lot more than 350 pula and a hell of a lot more than a night of great sex.
