Addressing health inequalities in infection and antimicrobial resistant infections: a UK-wide collaborative toolkit

Sex workers

Resources for addressing health inequalities in antimicrobial resistance amongst sex workers.

These are factors that intersectional AMR research identifies as drivers of inequitable AMR exposure and outcomes.
