Abstract
OBJECTIVES: This paper describes migration toward the UK, sex work involvement, use of health services, and health issues. METHODS: This qualitative study interviewed twenty-five men. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis. RESULTS: Five main themes emerged: emigration, migration routes, sex work entrance, use of health services, and main health outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: Discrimination and social exclusion were identified before and during migration. Participants had used the NHS system and told positive experiences. They reported STI-HIV, recreational drugs and mental health issues. Findings suggest the influence of migration and sex work on their vulnerabilities and health outcomes.
