Toolkit for Targeted HIV/AIDS Prevention and Care in Sex Work Settings, World Health Organization (2005)

Most of the items in this toolkit focus on HIV prevention in sex work settings. Less information is available on treatment, care and support for sex workers living with HIV. The toolkit aims to provide guidance on the development and implementation of effective HIV interventions in diverse sex work settings: the public health rationale; a strategic framework; key principles; assessment; planning and design; implementation; management; training and capacity-building; monitoring and evaluation. Before inclusion in the toolkit, items were reviewed by a committee of experts in order to determine their quality and relevance. The toolkit is intended as a resource to guide the development and implementation of effective HIV interventions in diverse sex work settings.
