Samantha's got it right - that's what we're up to and we're up to it in Vancouver! Thanks for the questions (and for stepping up there Samantha ;) )

Hi Ladies! Just a heads up that if you're in need of condoms or other harm reduction supplies our outreach team is available most weekdays to deliver supplies to you at your home or incall. We do outreach to most locations around the Lower Mainland, just in different places on different days, and we'll do our best to bring you the supplies you need as soon as we can! You do not have to be a participant in our study to access harm reduction supplies; we will deliver to any service provider who needs them. Our outreach team is discrete - we have an unmarked van and supplies are brought in inside unmarked paper lunch bags. Get in touch if you need supplies or have any questions! You can call the AESHA outreach team confidentially at 778-891-6252 or 604-569-3701 Monday-Thursday, 10am-4pm or email [email protected]

UPDATE: In response to concerns about discretion and scheduling we're now doing OUTREACH appointments for anyone who would like to participate in the study. We will come to you at your location and can do the interview appointment in the safety and convenience of your home or incall! If you have any questions or concerns you'd like to share with us, please feel free to post here, message us in our inbox here, email us directly, or call us up and have a phone conversation! We're a friendly group of gals. 778-891-6252 or 604-569-3701 Monday-Thursday, 10am-4pm or email [email protected]

The AESHA (An Evaluation of Sex workers Heath Access) Project is a five year study of the health, safety and working conditions of women who do sex work in the Metro Vancouver area. The study is being run by the BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS and UBC, in partnership with the WISH Drop-in Centre Society, the BC Centre for Disease Control and Sex Workers United Against Violence (SWUAV) Society. We are looking for self-identified women currently working in either indoor or outdoor spaces who would be interested in participating in the study. If you would like to participate, or would like more information, please call the AESHA outreach team confidentially at 778-891-6252 or 604-569-3701 Monday-Thursday, 10am-4pm or email [email protected] Our apologies for any cross posting. Thanks! The AESHA Team
