Overall, according to that research - 20-30% of ALL prostitutes surveyed (including street walkers) are IV drug users.

According to this paper betweeen 7-17% of brothel workers and escorts are IV drug users (see page 13) http://www.med.unsw.edu.au/nchecrweb.nsf/resources/SHPReport/$file/NSWSexIndustryReportV4.pdf

I cant be bothered checking, but im sure this is far higher than for the general population
Whatever the survey says, it doesn't apply to the debate here.

To start with, a survey is only questions asked to a small number of participants, in this case, most probably professionals. Most importantly, I'm sure they didn't get the survey from our girls, the Asian girls ! So it doesn't apply to this forum !
