This NSWP briefing paper provides an overview of the new HIV prevention tools on the horizon, including microbicides, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), vaccines, and ‘treatment for prevention’. It details the possible positive and negative impacts of these as identified by sex worker organisations. Finally, it explores how sex workers’ advocacy can influence the development and introduction of these tools in ways that maximise usefulness and minimise risk to sex workers.  

This is the French version of the Notes for Record of the September 2011 UNAIDS Advisory Group on HIV and Sex Work.

The Advisory Group wrote to the main authors of an article published in the Lancet (Volume 377, June 2011), entitled 'Towards an improved investment approach for an effective response to HIV/AIDS' to raise some concerns, including:

• The proposed flat-lining and under-resourcing of funding for HIV programming in the context of sex work
• The apparent inclusion in HIV programming of both sex workers and their clients
• The assumptions within the report appearing to come from UNGASS reporting data, regarding the reach of current HIV programming to sex
