Primary research conducted in 2013 in Brazil\u2019s second largest city, Rio de Janeiro, gave sex workers and civil society organizations the opportunity to voice concerns of the everyday disadvantages faced by those involved in the sex industry, with emphasis on what could cause further detriments from acting as a double draw international sporting host. This research largely took place through invitation at the 2013 Rio State Conference on HIV\/AIDS, Equality and Human Rights. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title><jats:p> Mixed methods research \u2013 pre-arrival questionnaires and interviews led by a semi-structured interview guide \u2013 was deemed suitable for the primary research collection. The use of the research software NVivo allowed data to be categorised into key themes to form the basis of this research article. Working with a Portuguese translator, case studies of transsexual sex workers and civil society organizations were developed. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p> Police violence was the main re-occurring theme expressed as a continued fear, alongside the added increase of security measures that the games would bring, to reduce organized crime, and through the Pacification programme. The majority of sex workers and organizations believed that there was no support from the Brazilian government to continue to provide services of high demand, including social care and legal assistance. Sex workers also felt prejudice in receiving HIV\/AIDS treatment from government-led health services. A desirable outcome for the sex worker community would be for the government to consider the following: recommendations devised for further health and well being support; an act or law of non-violence against them; and recommendations to decimalize the sex industry. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title><jats:p> The Brazilian government has received global recognition for its response to the HIV\/AIDS epidemic, however the treatment based and contraception promotion does not extend itself to consider the social implications that put sex workers at huge public health risks, especially physical violence. This research provides an important case for explicit revisions of policies in Brazil regarding the health and safety of sex workers. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/1757913914542306","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,17]],"date-time":"2014-09-17T03:59:54Z","timestamp":1410926394000},"page":"197-203","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Using the Venom of a Snake for an Antidote: exploring strategies and services for sex workers in preparation for the World Cup 2014"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"135","author":[{"given":"Janine Elizabeth","family":"Ewen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Aberdeen, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1757913914542306","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4324\/9780203827475"},{"key":"bibr2-1757913914542306","unstructured":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 2013.
