Experiences of refugees and asylum seekers towards access and utilisation of sexual health services: A systematic review

    Research output: Other contribution

    Abstract

    A systematic review protocol for exploring the experiences and utilisation of sexually transmitted infections and HIV testing and treatments among refugees and asylum seekers in both overdeveloped and underdeveloped countries are the contexts of this review. Issues facing refugees and displaced people are some of the most complicated humanitarian concerns globally. The UN Refugee Agency, UK reports that at least 89.3 million people worldwide have been forced to flee their homes (UNHCR UK, 2021). Among them, nearly 27.1million are refugees and 4.6 million are asylum seekers (UNHCR, 2021). Evidence shows the access and utilisation of sexual health services among these populations are comparatively limited.
