In the context of AIDS control and debates about prostitution, Senegal is a unique example of a country with a successful HIV prevention program and a legal framework for the regulation of commercial sex work.  This paper examines how the institutions involved in the regulation of prostitution produce a new subject: the registered sex worker.
