This study focuses on improving sexual health outcomes for migrant women sex workers (WSWs) in Marseille, France, who face high rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Community health workers (CHWs) conducted a one-year intervention involving prevention, care support, and empowerment activities. Through respondent-driven sampling, 132 migrant WSWs were recruited, many of whom faced vulnerabilities like limited health literacy, social rights access, and experiences of rape or racism. CHWs helped increase HIV testing and awareness of preventive measures like PrEP. The intervention improved care access and retention rates among migrant WSWs, highlighting the importance of population-based approaches and collaboration between care and social services.
