Title: | Self-Reported Use of Health Services, Contact with Police and Views About Sex Work Organisations Among Male Sex Workers in Cardoba, Argentina | Contributor(s): | Disogra, Carlos E (author); Marino, Rodrigo (author); Minichiello, Victor (author) | Publication Date: | 2005 | DOI: | 10.1300/J056v17n01_11 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/6029 | Abstract: | A total of 31 male sex workers recruited in Cordoba, Argentina, completed a questionnaire about the use and barriers to the use of health services, contact with the police and perception about the need of sex workers organizations. The results reveal that the majority preferred to use public services for general and sexual health concerns. The most frequently identified barriers to use of health services were waiting time before consultation and opening hours. The majority agreed for the need of a sex workers organization to advocate on their behalf, particularly achieving decriminalization of sex work and providing sexual health information to sex workers. Many reported contact with police that was generally positive, although some concerns were raised. The paper discusses implications for public health measures aimed at promoting greater sexual safety in the male sex industry. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Journal of Psychology & Human Sexuality, 17(1/2), p. 181-196 | Publisher: | Haworth Press Inc | Place of Publication: | United States of America | ISSN: | 1931-762X 1931-7611 |
