Text reads: "World AIDS Day. In a study by Lyons et al. (2020), sex workers in countries where sex work is criminalised were over 7 times more likely to be living with HIV over those where sex workers experience some legal protections. The World Health Organisation (WHO) emphasises that removing punitive laws against sex workers is an essential health intervention. Criminalisation prevents access to healthcare services, including effective HIV prevention, treatment and support."

Dec 1st is World AIDS Day πŸŽ—οΈ

Sex workers are disproportionately affected by HIV. When sex workers have legal rights, they have safer working conditions, better access to healthcare, and reduced HIV risk.

Decriminalisation is HIV prevention.
