ESTN_EpisodeCover011_1400.jpg

This episode features a survivor story from Crystal whose experience with trafficking involves contracting HIV as a juvenile from a John. There are many complications for survivors during recovery, if HIV or AIDS as part of their story, perhaps most profound is their labeling as a sexual predator if diagnosed with the virus, and convicted of prostitution. This creates a number of issues when these survivors seek help.

Please note that this conversation contains explicit content related to domestic abuse, violence, sexual assault, rape, and human trafficking.
