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.
