Sex Trafficking and HIV


Sex Trafficking and Why HIV/AIDS Is So Common:

Most sex workers have multiple partners and inconsistent condom use, which better enables the spread of HIV.
  • In a report from 86 countries, less than ⅓ of sex workers used a condom with their last client.

Trafficked individuals often face violent sex and rape.
  • There is a greater possibility of cuts and tears, which allows for the exchange of blood.

Even if the Sex is Safe...

...injection drugs are common in the sex industry.
  • Drugs are used to cope with the stress and hardship of the job.
  • Oftentimes, sex work is used as a way to finance their addiction.
  • Many are forced by their pimp or other controller in order to calm/numb them for sex work.

Once They Have the Disease or Want to Get Tested…

Trafficked individuals are often forced to migrate to a different country, where they are undocumented and are often kept from receiving access to health services.

Trafficked women and sex workers tend to be stigmatized, marginalized, and criminalized, which affects their social and economic welfare and their access to health services.
