...dark version of the Good Humor truck. Four times a week, the "dope fiends," as they call themselves, line up to enter the vehicle. They identify themselves to city workers by their code names ("Carol Burnett," "Streetcat," "Wizard") and, in exchange for used needles, receive survival kits: bottles of bleach, bottles of water, clean needles, and condoms. They do this because they are terrified of the epidemic that is raging through their city. "Just because I shoot drugs doesn't mean I don't care about AIDS.

...regularly beaten by their customers. Some are killed. In order to aid these kids, Planned Parenthood of New York founded Project Street Beat, a neighborhood organization that trolls the Bronx, visiting the places where teenage prostitutes gather. It offers free medical treatment and counseling, hands out sandwiches, clean clothes, "bleach kits" for sterilizing needles, and "dignity packs": Ziploc toilet kits containing a toothbrush, toothpaste, a comb, soap, a towelette, condoms, tampons and sanitary napkins. Sometimes the workers drive the kids to a local McDonald's for a snack and a chance to talk...
