United States: challenges filed to anti-prostitution pledge requirement
1HIV/AIDS and Human Rights Program of Human Rights Watch, Canada. schleir@hrw.org
Abstract:
Two separate lawsuits were filed recently in US federal courts challenging a provision of US law requiring that non-governmental organizations have a policy "explicitly opposing prostitution" as a condition of receiving funding under the United States Leadership against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Act of 2003 (US Global AIDS Act). US-based plaintiffs in both cases argue that the anti-prostitution pledge requirement in the Act violates US Constitutional guarantees of free speech and due process, and undermines proven, effective efforts to fight HIV/AIDS among sex workers.

Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are essential players of the adaptive immune system. These antigen-binding proteins are produced by B cells and make up 20 percent of the total blood plasma by weight. In mammals, antibodies fall into five different classes, which each elicits a different biological response upon antigen binding.
