성병이 있는 사람은 그렇지 않은 사람보다 에이즈 감염확률이 더 높다. 성병은 인간의 신체에 몰래 스며들어 악영향을 끼치지만 그 증상이 뚜렷치가 않아 무관심하게 치부되기도 한다. 성병의 종류와 그 증상이 어떤지 살펴보자.

'사회적으로 가장 심각한 질병'이라는 말을 단 한번도 떼어버리지 못한 성병의 역사를 더듬어 올라가보면 기원전으로 까지 거슬러 올라가야 하니, 성병은 인류의 역사와 함께 시작되었다 해도 과언이 아닐 듯 싶다. 이토록 오랜 역사를 가진 성병이 최근들어 더 심각하게 떠오르는 이유는 AIDS라는 새로운 질병의 등장 때문이 아닐까 싶다. 성병이 인류의 역사가 흘러가는 한 퇴치될 수 없는 질병이라 하더라도 예방을 위한 최선의 노력과 치료대책을 수립해 실천하는 것이 개인과 국가에 도움을 주는 일이라 하겠다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to examine how sex workers perceive the current STD examination service and how the perceptions are related with sex workers' intention to use the service. Methods: The data for this study came from a survey among sex workers who had an experience of using STD examination service provided by local public health centers. Sex workers' perceptions to STD examination service and their intention to use the service were measured with multiple items adapted from the Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire (PSQ) developed by Ware and his colleagues. Results: Most sex workers are satisfied with the current STD examination service provided by local public health centers and they have a strong intention to use the service. In predicting general satisfaction and intention to use STD examination service, few socioeconomic variables play a significant role. Among specific dimensions of STD test service, technical quality and accessibility of the service affect both general satisfaction and intention to use the service in a positive direction. The most important determinant of sex workers' intention to use STD examination service is their general satisfaction with the service. Conclusion: With the existing laws that still officially justify STD examination programs, the demand and need for STD examination service by sex workers further the current STD examination programs. Health authorities which aim at health maintenance, health promotion and health protection for the people, thus, need to continue their STD control programs actively and effectively regardless of the Special Law on Sex Trade.

This study aims to identify effective ways to prevent sexually transmitted diseases among sex workers as well as the general public in Korea by examining the case of Thailand, regarded as a model internationally in reducing prevalence rate of sexually transmitted diseases, under the circumstances in which the implementation of the new anti-sex-trade law causes confusion over the existing sexually transmitted disease control program. For the purpose, the study firstly assesses the anti-sex-trade law which has engendered recent debates over the relationship between sex trade and sexually transmitted diseases, and reviews a change of the sexually transmitted disease control system made by the anti-sex-trade law. The Thai case is explored with some special emphasis on relationship between socio-cultural, political and economic factors and sexually transmitted disease control policies. Comparing to the Thai case, the study proposes some suggestions to make the existing sexually transmitted disease control program more effective under the new anti-sex-trade law.

9.23 특별법 시행 이후 정부와 이해 당사자를 둘러싼 각계층에서 다양한 견해를 피력하면서 첨예한 논쟁이 오가고 있다. 그 가운데 성매매 여성들에 대한 에이즈, 성병 정기검진을 할 수 없게 된다면 성병과 에이즈가 창궐할 것이라는 '논리'가 그것이다. 이러한 주장의 현실성을 따져보기 위해서는 지금까지 시행되어온 '에이즈$\cdot$성병 정기검진'의 현황과, 그 성과에 대해 객관적으로 평가해 봐야 한다. 새로운 법령의 시행이 에이즈 예방 운동의 환경에 변화를 주고 있는 현 시점에서 성매매 여성을 대상으로 한 에이즈 예방사업의 새 모델 창출의 필요성이 대두되고 있다.
