It is important to measure and address sex work stigma to improve access and retention in HIV and other health services, yet a gap remains in the literature on sex work stigma. This may in part be due to lack of validated sex work stigma measurement instruments. We developed a set of 26 items on experie…

The barrier HIV-stigma presents to the HIV treatment cascade is increasingly documented; however less is known about female and male sex worker engagement in and the influence of sex-work stigma on the HIV care continuum. While stigma occurs in all spheres of life, stigma within health services may be particularly detrimental to health seeking behaviors. Therefore, we present levels of sex-work stigma from healthcare workers (HCW) among male and …
