But my point is that everything about living "the life" would wear out anyone doing it... in ways that a non street-sex-worker life would not. So if Paul, a gay man is dying of AIDS and Sonja a female sex worker is dying of AIDS, i don't think it makes sense to say that Sonja's job literally killed her. Unless you're also saying Paul being a non-celibate human literally killed him. No, in both cases a specific virus that had no cure or meds to suppress it killed Paul and Sonja.
