All female sex workers employed by a chain of sex clubs in Spain will have to carry medical cards in future, after a drive to encourage the women to have regular checks for sexually transmitted diseases. Clients will be able to access the details on the card by swiping it through an electronic reader. The scheme was condemned by a British AIDS specialist, who thought the scheme unbalanced and ineffective.
In four months Anela, the National Association of Sex Clubs, has brought together more than club managers from throughout Spain with the aim of improving their image by assuring that each woman has had regular health checks.
Each of the women in every member club will carry a medical card that contains her name, passport number, sex club details, location, and health tests undertaken with dates. Any potential client has the right to ask for the card's contents to be displayed on a screen and for a certificate to be issued that he can then take home. Members of Anela have to sign a contract that acknowledges that there is a particular need in their profession for sexually transmitted diseases to be monitored and controlled to avoid their spread.
