SWOP ACT

SWOP aims

To educate s3x workers about safer s3x practices and the prevention of HIV, BBVs and other STIs.

The S3x Worker Outreach Program (SWOP) is a s3x worker-led program whose primary purpose is the prevention of HIV, BBVs and other s3xually transmitted infections (STIs), through education, referral, support and empowerment. To lobby for legal and administrative frameworks that do not discriminate against s3x workers and former s3x workers. To address the special needs of workers from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds so they can have easier access to services and resources. To eradicate s3x worker stereotypes in popular consciousness and replace myths with the truth about s3x workers and our unique and diverse experiences. To provide information about how to obtain access to a range of health and community services that are appropriately sensitive to the needs of s3x workers.
