Migration to Peru from Venezuela has reshaped engagement in informal labour for many women who turn to sex work as a survival strategy amid legal precarity and systemic exclusion.

In 2023, we conducted 34 semi-structured interviews with Venezuelan migrant cisgender women sex workers living in Lima, Peru. Interviews explored migration t…
Harm reduction gaps in sexualized drug use among gay and bisexual men living with HIV in Colombia
BACKGROUND: Sexualized drug use among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBM) remains underexplored in Latin America.

METHODS: Between October 2024 and April 2025, we conducted semi-structured interviews with GBM living with HIV across Colombia. Thematic analysis was empl…

To explore how LAI-ART is imagined in contexts where it is not yet available, we conducted 66 semi-structured interviews with gay and bisexual men living with HIV in Colombia. Guided by the concept of the social plasticity of pharmaceuticals - the capacity of medicines to acquire shifting social mean…

Informed by this insight, this study aimed to: 1) assess parents’ interest in sexuality education for discussing SRH with adolescents; 2) explore preferred structures for the delivery of such education; and 3) identify the topic…
