If you have had sex with a sex worker / prostitute, we would like you to join our discussion group.

We would like to discuss issues that will help us:

• Deliver better HIV/STI and sexual health information to you
• Improve clinical services for you.

The group will be 5-8 men led by a male nurse and a facilitator.
It will take an hour of your time.
Food will be provided
We will offer a 20$ honorarium for your time and ideas.

The discussion is confidential and can be anonymous.

Call Derek 604 315 7729 or email [email protected] for more information

Thanks

Derek

I can understand your feelings.

It is made anonymous by you not having to give your real name, phone number etc..

thanks for the suggestion

Guys, don't be so defensive :)

Nobody complained when Pivot Legal advertised their discussion group for sex trade workers.

It's not as if Health Nurse is advertising a "for profit" service. The BC Centre for Disease Control is a government organization, and they're soliciting volunteers for something that might actually benefit us :)

Note the facilitator reference – and the control group inference.

As I recall, many Perb threads with health/risk discussion invariably have degraded into bitch fests. Those posters that openly come forward to advise they engage in “recognized” riskier pursuits are often challenged by others with degrees of medical fact (actual, perceived or imagined). Usually starts with “any health discussion is needed discussion” good intentions but doesn’t seem to stay on that theme for long.

Free food, $20, I'm there! Unfortunately I don't live in Vancouver. However, send me the free food and money and I'll answer anything you want.

All kidding aside. I think this would be an important forum. This whole area has always been somewhat in the dark and it would be nice to get some issues in the open to aid in understanding and delivery of sexual health topics that most people are afraid to discuss openly.

On the other hand if you're paranoid, then its another government attempt at collecting data about you to prosecute you! I'm not paranoid.

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions.

It looks like I'm in the right place, as we are looking for all the ideas and suggestions you may have on a range of topics.

We never thought of the online group thing and I will definitely look into it.

I can understand your concerns as it is an activity in Vancouver which is driven underground and difficult to discuss in the open.
