A breezy poll Polish police gave 80 prostitutes from the greater area of Warsaw and Gdansk last year led to a pretty bad result: a third of the girls tested positive for HIV. Twenty weiners they're doing per day--well, what kind of math did anyone expect? We spent four days with the prostitutes on the street who work on the roadsides between Krakow and Katowice.
During that time their pimps tried to beat us up, the girls spit at us for trying to photograph them, and we met Magda and her year-old-daughter. A wholesome team. We gave them coffee and cookies and they told us their story.
Well, I can imagine that. The guy at the gas station told me that you took your daughter here for the first time today. Don't you want her to go to school and get a job? I will teach her everything. I'm the greatest whore around. I've been doing this for over 25 years now and I have great knowledge about how to please a man.
Her dad doesn't want her to go to school either because it is a waste of time. She can be on the street and earn money instead. The young and fresh girls earn a lot of money in the beginning, and Agnes is a real beauty so she will make a lot. That is hard to say. Today I make way less Next year they want to rebuild this road, so I'm not sure where I'm supposed to stand then.
On the other hand, the new highway will probably bring more international truck drivers to us and that means more johns for me. Also, I'm sure the construction workers will appreciate me during their breaks Come on, let's be honest, you saw a lot of girls come and go. How many were HIV-positive? All the girls here are clean. I'm sure none of us has HIV because we are looking after each other.
