Bout sex and provide training on how to use your mouth to put on a condom, which was totally out of my mind at that time! This external evaluation conducted by Ziteng helped Dr Z and the JZ team to shift their approach from a traditional information, education and condom-promotion strategy to a more occupational health-centred focus that could facilitate recognising and addressing the social and structural contexts of sex work. As described later in the paper, this shift guided the efforts that became the main activities of the JZ programme. BAY 11-7083 site programme expansion: 2008?013–Since its inception, the JZ programme has significantly GW9662 dose expanded its intervention team, activities and networking with other national and international groups. Since 2008, the programme has received additional funding from the Gates Foundation and the Global Fund. Dr Z’s team began cooperating with Chinese and foreign universities on HIV/STI interventions among FSWs, and JZ became a training centre for other programme staff to learn how to work effectively with FSW. As of 2013, JZ had 4 full-time staff, 1 part-time staff and over 10 FSWs who work part-time as peer educators. Programme activities have expanded since 2008, especially for outreach work, such as distributing a newsletter and increasing the number of on-site trainings on HIV/STI education and addressing gender-based violence. Social support and community engagement activities have also increased, including visiting FSW re-education centres, increasing the frequency of FSW self-support group activities and increasing the number of FSW peer educators. The remainder of this manuscript describes the JZ programme as of 2013, reflecting the changes of programme activities in approach and scope following the external evaluation of 2007 and the expansion activities of 2008?013. Key components and strategies of the JZ FSW programme Addressing HIV/STI within an occupational health framework–The ultimate target of the JZ programme is FSW’s occupational health. HIV/STIs are positioned as one component among a series of occupational health issues that reflect the key structural factors women face in sex work, such as anti-prostitution laws, violence, social stigma and reproductive health problems. Women’s occupational health needs vary with time: some are more common and stable over time (e.g. violence, reproductive health and stigma), while others are newly emergent issues (e.g. increased drug use, intensified police crackdowns on sex work since 2010). JZ’s main intervention activities take the form of tailored, high-quality clinical services provided directly to women within a welcoming clinic setting, responsive outreach work through staff and trained FSW peer leaders, interpersonal and community-level engagement aimed at changing the local social and structural environments of sex work and tailored IEC materials.
