It is mandatory that legal sex workers get a free STI screening every 15 days. For migrant sex workers, HIV, syphilis and gonorrhoea testing and treatment are free of charge. However, illegal migrant sex workers still have no access to medical aid with the exception of services provided by NGOs. In addition they work in an unsafe environment and are constantly in fear of police oppression.

The services provided by the public authorities provide STI and HIV treatment to undocumented migrants. Seropositive people can even obtain a permanent visa in case ARVs are not available in their country.The medical staff in public hospitals still offers health assistance to undocumented sex workers, in clear defiance of the law  which has limited assistance to this category.

EU citizens, who wish to stay in the country for more than three months, must have a health insurance in order to get the residence permit. Those without legal status in Greece are not permitted to work as a sex worker.
