Sex Slaves Returning Home Raise AIDS Risks, Study Says

Adding another bleak dimension to the sordid world of sex slavery, young girls who have been trafficked abroad into prostitution are emerging as an AIDS risk factor in their home countries, according to a study recently released. Girls who were forced into prostitution before age 15 and girls traded between brothels were particularly likely to be infected, the study found. Shunned by their families and villages on their return, they sometimes end up selling themselves again, increasing the risk. The study, in the Journal of the American Medical Association, concerns girls from Nepal trafficked into bordellos in India, but the problem is also emerging elsewhere, said the lead author, Jay G. Silverman, a professor of human development at Harvard’s School of Public Health.

Wanna do something crazy? Get a tattoo ON YOUR EYE

And we’re not talking about permanent makeup or anything else on the outside of the eye — we’re talking ink injected right into the cornea.

Sister Wants O.J. Simpson Book Boycott

The sister of Nicole Brown Simpson on Tuesday called for a boycott of the O.J. Simpson book "If I Did It" about the slaying of Simpson’s ex-wife and her friend Ronald Goldman. O.J. Simpson’s book ‘If I Did It,’ which ponders how he might have killed wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman, will see the light of day. Goldman’s family will release it with minor changes. Denise Brown said she was "shocked and horrified" to learn that a literary agent for the Goldman family had reached a deal to publish the controversial book.
