NSWP+ is a platform for HIV positive sex workers and people committed to treatment access and equal rights for sex workers living with HIV. The platform was established during the Sex Worker Freedom Festival in Kolkata, India when a group of HIV positive sex workers came together to demand recognition that in relation to HIV, sex workers were not the problem but part of the solution.

The NSWP+ website http://www.nswp.org/nswp-plus will collate and publish news and resources of particular relevance to sex workers living with HIV and others with an interest in the involvement of HIV positive sex workers in the global HIV response. A global advisory group of HIV positive sex workers is being established to inform the NSWP+ advocacy agenda. Sex workers living with HIV must be at the forefront of policy and debate around HIV and sex work. NSWP+ aims to share these voices and experiences at national, regional and international advocacy forums.

We strongly encourage our partners, donors and other stakeholders to visit the website and support the NSWP+ call for better access to affordable HIV medicines, a rights-based approach to the HIV response and for ending stigma and discrimination.
