This project explores sex worker activism and the discourse of sex work in Britain during the HIV/AIDS pandemic. The emergence of HIV/AIDS, which was heavily associated with both gay men and sex workers, affected the way in which sexuality was constructed within state discourses, as well as changed how sex work was considered and regulated. Simultaneously, sex workers formed their own activist groups and unions from 1975 onwards, arguing for their own rights in relation to public health policy and discourses of disease. This project centres sex workers within intersecting histories of gender, labour, public health and activism. I will draw on sources, such as manifestos, newsletters, official reports from sex workers'-rights groups, public health and policing authorities, alongside pre-existing and self-conducted oral histories. I argue that the HIV/AIDS epidemic was a turning point in both the understanding and regulation of sexual labour, and the experiences of sex workers.

这个项目探索性工作者的激进主义和在艾滋病毒/艾滋病大流行期间英国的性工作话语。艾滋病毒/艾滋病的出现与男同性恋者和性工作者密切相关，它影响了在国家话语中构建性行为的方式，并改变了对性工作的考虑和规章制度。与此同时，从1975年起，性工作者成立了自己的积极分子团体和工会，为自己在公共卫生政策和疾病论述方面的权利进行辩护。这个项目以性工作者为中心，涉及性别、劳工、公共卫生和激进主义的历史。我将利用宣言、通讯、性工作者权利团体、公共卫生和警察当局的官方报告等来源，以及预先存在的和自行进行的口述历史。我认为，艾滋病毒/艾滋病的流行是对性劳动的理解和监管以及性工作者经历的一个转折点。
