Enhancing the Ethical Conduct of HIV Research With Migrant Sex Workers: Human Rights, Policy, and Social Contextual Influences

About the Course:

Migrant sex workers are often highly marginalized and disproportionately experience health and social inequities, including high prevalence of HIV, sexually transmitted infections, and human rights violations. In recent years, research involving migrant sex workers has increased, yet many knowledge gaps remain regarding how best to protect research participant rights and welfare. Our objective was to identify key challenges and opportunities related to the responsible conduct of HIV research with migrant sex workers.

This course is based on the reading-based online article, Enhancing the Ethical Conduct of HIV Research With Migrant Sex Workers: Human Rights, Policy, and Social Contextual Influences created by Shira M. Goldenberg, PhD and Kimberly Brouwer, PhD. in 2016.
