“…The unclear mandate of the police in implementing the regulations, as well as potential confusion between the authority of police versus immigration officials to detain and deport sex workers, can increase migrant FSWs' vulnerability to abuse and human rights violations [12], although this is the first study to systematically examine these concerns as they relate to the effects of public health practices surrounding sex work among migrants in Guatemala [33,50,51]. This was true for internal and international migrants FSWs working in Guatemala [52]. Therefore, in order to have a comprehensive analysis of Guatemala sex work context in terms of public health regulations implementation, we included both population testimonies.…”

“…Although governmental provision of HIV/STI testing, prevention and care for FSWs continues to represent an important (and often the sole) source of access to such services, stigma, fear of sex work disclosure and the punitive climate surrounding service delivery under current practices (e.g., mandatory testing) continue to pose barriers to FSWs' well-being [49,52]. Furthermore, access to HIV prevention and care for sex workers in resource-poor settings such as Guatemala remains limited by structural barriers (i.e.…”

Public health regulations practices surrounding sex work and their enforcement can have unintended consequences for HIV and sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevention and care among sex workers. This analysis was based on qualitative in-depth (n = 33) and focus groups interviews (n = 20) conducted with migrant female sex workers in Tecún Umán and Quetzaltenango, Guatemala, and explored the implementation of sex work regulations and related consequences for HIV prevention and care among migrant sex workers. Sex work regulations were found to have health-related benefits (e.g., access to HIV/STI testing) as well as negative impacts, such as abuse by police and harassment, detention/deportation of migrant sex workers. Whereas public health regulations may improve access to HIV/STI testing, their implementation may inadvertently jeopardize sex workers' health through unintended negative consequences. Non-coercive, evidence-based public health and sex work policies and programs are needed to expand access to HIV/STI prevention and care among migrant sex workers, while protecting their dignity and human rights.

“…Las ocviH representan un caso complejo e importante por su impacto social y por la diversidad de factores implícitos en la problemáti ca. La respuesta de la sociedad al viH-sidA, desde su aparición en México en la década de 1980, ha variado para establecer múltiples y ricas interacciones con el entorno que componen las instituciones públicas de salud, los agentes sociales no estatales, los progresos dentro del campo médico (Magis, et al, 1996), y las creen cias morales y culturales de la sociedad (Hernández, 2006;Brito, 2003;Hernández Chávez, 1995).…”

“…En el ámbito nacional, hay un seguimiento de la enfermedad desde la mira da epidemiológica (Valdespino-Gómez, 1988;Valdespino-Gómez, 1995;Magis Rodríguez, 1996;Magis Rodríguez, 1998), así como de su impacto económico (Izazola Licea, 1998;Magis Rodríguez, 2005), sin embargo, son pocos los estudios sistemáticos dedicados a las organizaciones mismas. Otras investigaciones relativas a las ocviH mexicanas recogen la experiencia de trabajo acumulada en el campo (Hernández Chávez, 1995;Brito, 2003), la diversidad de actividades emprendidas, las dificultades enfrentadas y las perspectivas, pero no ofrecen información concre ta sobre las características organizacionales de las ocviH. La colaboración entre las ocviH con base comunitaria es estudiada por Barnes (2002), así como su relación con las de Estados Unidos (Barnes, 2004).…”

Este trabajo presenta los resultados de una encuesta realizada en el sector de las organizaciones dedicadas a la atención de la población afectada por el vih–sida en la ciudad de México. La investigación forma parte de un estudio más amplio sobre la ética, la cultura y la acción de dichas organizaciones. Aplicada entre febrero y agosto de 2006, la encuesta buscó obtener información de dos clases: a) personalidad jurídica, antigüedad y tamaño de la organización; y b) actividades y servicios ofrecidos. Los hallazgos describen las características de las organizaciones del sector: su tamaño, número de colaboradores, usuarios de los servicios, actividades que realizan, y las relaciones entre estas variables. Se demuestra que en este sector predominan las micro–organizaciones, la alta participación voluntaria femenina y masculina concentrada en las organizaciones más grandes, la orientación a la prevención y servicios periféricos, y que, en los últimos años, no ha habido renovación en cuanto al número de organizaciones. Al final, se propone una explicación de lo encontrado.

In Mexico, male sex workers (MSW) and travesti, transgender and transsexual (TTT) sex workers are among the groups most affected by HIV. They suffer from stigma and discrimination, yet are often absent from the design of programmes and HIV prevention campaigns. The objective of this study was to provide an account of the social context in which MSW and TTT sex workers live, by focusing on their sexual identities, sexual practices and vulnerability to HIV. Data collection took place in Mexico City and involved observational work together with 36 in-depth interviews. Findings reveal a differentiation of vulnerability by sub-group. In general, vulnerability is influenced by the social context, stigma related to homosexuality and sex work, as well as sex workers' access to scarce social capital and the lack of response in terms of social and health programmes. In order to diminish the vulnerability of MSW and TTT sex workers and reduce their risk of HIV infection, preventive measures are needed which take into account their specific health and social needs, promote meaningful participation and the encourage respect for human rights.
