During a 36-month period, a multidisciplinary team manned a van that
visited the major location of open prostitution in the Tel Aviv area
[...]
All 128 females who did not admit to drug abuse were seronegative.

A thorough search of recent literature fail to demonstrate unequivocal
seropositivity among British, French, German, Italian, or Dutch
prostitutes without drug histories.

I note that these are all relatively affluent societies where condoms
would be affordable.  (I note also that you're ignoring the high
prevalence of HIV in unlicensed prostitutes in Germany.)

Here's something for you to think about: The risk a prostitute faces
depends less on the number of her customers who have HIV, than on the
number of those HIV+ customers who don't use a condom.  Men who know
they have HIV are less likely to have sex with a prostitute without a
condom than men who know they don't have HIV, or men who don't know.
HIV damages the immune system, not the conscience.
