In 2022, the World Health Organization (WHO) published the Consolidated guidelines on HIV, viral hepatitis and STI prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care for key populations. They provide guidance for public health and rights-based responses to HIV, viral hepatitis, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) for key populations. The guidelines can be used by sex worker and other key population-led organisations to advocate for rights and evidence-based HIV, STI, and hepatitis programmes, and by managers, policymakers, donors, and others to inform rights and evidence-based HIV, STI, and hepatitis policies and programming.
This Smart Guide summarises and discusses the guidelines’ key recommendations for sex workers is prepared by NSWP – Global Network of Sex Workers Projects. The Smart Guide can be used as a tool when advocating for rights-based services.
