This chat is guest hosted by @Cappello_Lou @GilmoreJNurse
Sex workers face many barriers when accessing healthcare, starting with the generalising and stereotyping of those selling sex. Healthcare staff can possess both conscious and unconscious bias and make moral judgements about the sex industry and sex workers, which can negatively impact their ability to deliver quality healthcare that meets the needs of this patient group. It is illegal for more than one individual to sell sex from any indoor location atone time. This means that sex workers must choose between working alone and risk the increased vulnerability that this brings, or face criminalisation for working together. As such, sex workers fear opening up about their work to healthcare professionals for fear of criminalisation.
The routes taken by those that enter commercial sex work are diverse,with the majority entering the industry due to economic necessity. Some operate with high levels of autonomy and will not experience issues when trying to exist the industry. In contrast there are those who turn to sex work to fund drug or other addictions, or those who are trafficked for the purposes of profiting of sexual exploitation and have little autonomy or control over when to exist the industry.

@WeNurses In my journey I originally always considered ‘sex-worker’ to mean someone who physically had sex with people for money. This has evolved over my years researching and working with sex workers. #wenurses |

Not all sex work contains what many would consider ‘sex’. However it provides sexual gratification for others, thinking of people I’ve met in the BDSM community who provide punishment for a few #wenurses https://twitter.com/cahill_lou/status/1111359519282659330 |

@WeNurses I often work with sex workers in both the acute hospital setting and in offender healthcare. As HCP we should never assume anything about others, it’s always worth having an open conversation with our patients, no judgments, just a safe environment to be themselves. #WeNurses |

@learnhospice @bouncyjohn22 @AgencyNurse ???? one of the biggest barrier to sex worker safety is the fact that as a society we struggle to get off our moral horses and accept this is some people’s work. This harms sex workers and their health. #WeNurses |

@Kathari09995419 @WeNurses Ask. Politely, without fuss and without judging. As sex work is stigmatised we must explain why we asked, if we are wrong. Might lead to an icy atmosphere, if we don’t explain. #WeNurses |

@Kathari09995419 @thesismum @WeNurses It depends if your in a situation where you feel knowing this information will help you deliver care. We have to be careful not to ask to satisfy our own curiosity and to ask meaningful questions that help us care for our patients. #WeNurses |

I'd like to change this question to the "right care" ... as we may not know they are sex workers ... so IMHO the biggest barrier is developing a relationship with them where they feel comfortable enough to disclose this #WeNurses https://twitter.com/WeNurses/status/1111362346927173633 |

@WeNurses Ignorance is a huge factor. You need to know about the population you’re serving to meet their needs - doesn’t help that individual misconceptions/prejudices/biases will get in the way! And nurses aren’t great when it comes to talking about sex, never mind sex work #WeNurses |

@WeNurses Sex workers face criminalization under current laws, which makes them very fearful to disclose. If a sex worker works alone they are not breaking the law. If two share a flat for safety they become brothel runners and pumps under the law and are prosecuted. #WeNurses |

1) ASK ABOUT SEX 2) Create a non-judgemental and safe space for patients to discuss their needs 3) Listen to the needs of sex workers and lobby for #decriminalisation #wenurses https://twitter.com/wenurses/status/1111367374383517703 |

@WeNurses Criminalisation and the stigma associated with prostitution prevents sex workers getting appropriate health care. A 2007 study found that 62% of street sex workers and 90% of parlour workers had not disclosed their work to their GP. https://obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.1471-0528.2007.01379.x #WeNurses |

@Jess_STN @WeNurses Recognizing sex work as work would enable sex workers to put in place good working practices including health and safety. It’s worked very well in New Zealand where they have done this. #WeNurses |

@AgencyNurse It’s why the @WHO and @UNAIDS both recommend the decriminalisation of sex work. If we leave our moral judgements at the door and follow evidence based healthcare we can have such a significant impact on the health and well being of some of the most marginalized people. #WeNurses |

@WeNurses It's not a regulated industry so there are no protections offered to those working in it. That means they are vulnerable. Are MH services equipped to have those conversations? Do we know how to talk about assault in the context of sex work? Or do we disempower people? #WeNurses |

@bouncyjohn22 Yes we do as that’s part of standard urological assessment. Especially for #prostatecancer sexual function can be a diagnostic clue However, I’ve never outright asked if patients are sex workers I have been told this #WeNurses |

@WeNurses I think this has shown me that there is a need to ask direct questions regarding sex work if by not asking it might impact on the care or support they need. Failing to ask might mean that we fail them.. particularly if their presentation was a call for help #WeNurses |

@WeNurses We need to consider the needs of our patients to access the services of sex workers. If we #DecrimNow & destigmatise I think patients especially disabled/people not otherwise able to achieve their desires will be more open. We should be prepared for those conversations #WeNurses |

@Lizbaker925 @Jess_STN @WeNurses It’s not good reason. It’s moral judgement. The opinion of what a woman should do with her body written in a newspaper doesn’t really stack against the evidence from @WHO @UNAIDS @amnesty @TheLancet @LSHTM and many more. #WeNurses |
