Privilege, power and partnership: Sexual identity, public safety and transactional sex

Poster
Transactional sex is the process by which sex workers exchange sex for food, money and/or goods. Transactional sex for women and men who have sex with men (MSM) is oftentimes a source of income to support a drug habit, fight homelessness or just a means for survival. In surviving, the communities in which they work are affected by higher rates of violence, STD/HIV infection risk and stigma. Efforts to work with stakeholders and implement harm reduction models will be discussed and reviewed.
Session Objectives: Differentiate between stigma attached to men who have sex with men (MSM) and sex workers;
Assess the relationship between transactional sex, intimate partner violence, and occupational health risk;
Analyze advocates experiences with changing policy, working with law enforcement and other stakeholders
