HIV sex worker lived in SA

It has been revealed that a male Canberra sex worker, charged with putting people at risk of contracting HIV, spent time in South Australia four years ago.

SA Health's acting chief medical officer, Paddy Phillips, says the man advertised himself as a sex worker called Adam or Josh in the ACT last year.

He says there is no evidence the man was a sex worker in South Australia, but he says anyone with concerns should contact their GP.

"We're not aware of any person that's contracted HIV from him, he wasn't working as a sex worker then and the ACT Health are trying to find people who may have had sex with him and will be contacting them," he said
