It’s estimated that at least one in five sex workers in the country have an undiagnosed HIV infection.

While the nature of the job makes people vulnerable to sexually transmitted infections, the criminalisation of sex work further prevents many from getting tested or accessing necessary healthcare.

It was only through the Sex Workers Education & Advocacy Taskforce that Gantsho found a place of belonging and safety. “I am grateful that there is somebody there for me,” she says of the SWEAT team. “As long as sex work is a crime, stigmatised communities will continue to be at risk for contracting HIV,” Gantsho says.
