A wealth of analysis exists on the nature and extent of HIV epidemics in Asia and the Pacific in the context of sex work. These have highlighted the progress and the challenges that must be tackled to realize the targets to which governments have committed,to bring an end to AIDS. Guidance on effective investment and responses is well articulated. For example, the UNAIDS Guidance Note on HIV and Sex Work expresses the need for a comprehensive response that prioritizes evidence- and rights-based HIV prevention, treatment and care programmes for key affected populations. Moreover it addresses the factors that impede these efforts and responds to the underlying causes of vulnerability to HIV infection. This alliance has brought about changes in ways that sex workers relate to one another; allowing each member the space to speak, be heard, share The training demystifies the law, imparts practical knowledge of laws and develops sex workers skills to use this knowledge in practice opinions and develop shared vision and common goals.
