Problem
I am a sex trade worker in Oshawa and recently went to the ER for a UTI and discovered I have Hep C! I have been using injection drugs for 4 years and live with roommates who I am concerned about now getting my disease. I am not ready to quit but wondering if there are any programs to support sex trade workers and/or injection drug users to assist in staying healthy (while continuing to use for now) and decrease the spread of any diseases....please help.
Agency recommended:
a) What services can you offer to me that can help?
b) How do I get access to these services? Do I need a referral, or prescription?
c) Do I need to pay for these services? If so how much?
d) Who is it that will provide me with the assistance needed? Who is employed at these agencies?
e) Where is this agency located? How do I find them?
f) Will you or the agency report me to the police?
