A minimum package is an important step inadvocating for quality, comprehensive and integrated health services for
sex workers. Since 2000 the COH program with funding fromUSAID/PEPFAR has targeted FSWs and their clients with HIV prevention
services around HIV testing and counselling, STI treatment services andbehavior change communication. Over the years more services have been
availed to FSWs including family planning, screening for tuberculosis andmalaria and formed strong linkages with other implementing partner's
under the hospice of the District AIDS task forces. After several years andexperiences working with sex workers COH has come up with this package
that is not only for FSWs in the 10 COH district sites but is applicable andappropriate for implementation by any other organization involved in the
provision of HIV prevention services to FSW and other key and vulnerablegroups and in community empowerment.
