HIV Positive Sex Worker Needs Assessment Project

Scarlet Alliance was funded by the Elton John AIDS Foundation (EJAF) via the AIDS Trust in 2007 to conduct a HIV positive sex worker needs assessment over the past year.
The last report on the needs of HIV positive sex workers in Australia was around fifteen years ago. This recent project was long overdue and the subsequent reports and recommendations will assist the entire HIV sector and all sex worker organisations and services to better meet the needs of HIV positive sex workers - part of our community.
Scarlet Alliance will be presented the project outcomes at a meeting in Sydney, 18th July 2008
