We have a partnership with a well-known NGO that is supposed to help women in the sex industry. They visit our club once a month to provide free STD testing for those who are interested. Honestly, it’s more of a help to the NGO than to us. Most of our workers have enough money to voluntarily undergo thorough medical checkups at clinics or hospitals.
Testing in the club is useful for the NGO because it helps them report high activity numbers, which are funded by grants. Where else could they find so many workers in one place? In a single night at our club, they can report more tests than they usually conduct in a whole month.
That was fine—until now. We recently discovered they’ve been billing the women’ insurance companies for the tests, meaning they’re being paid twice: once from grants and once from the women’ insurance. How do they know the girls’ names? They told them they needed their ID in case of a positive HIV result, claiming it’s a legal requirement.
But here’s the kicker: the insurance companies now know their clients were tested by this NGO. And everyone in our country knows this NGO only works with sex workers. The organization that claims to protect the privacy of sex workers has instead exposed them to their insurance companies.
I’m furious. I’m definitely ending our cooperation with them, but not before I let them feel my anger—loud and clear.
