• Purpose of Review People who use illicit drug substances (e.g., heroin) and sex workers are vulnerable to acquiring HIV. Due to the criminalization of illicit drug substances and sex work in many countries, these populations often reside in rights-constrained settings where their well-being, freedom, and access to HIV prevention and care services may be compromised due to legal prosecutions and societal stigma. Recent Findings This study conducted a literature review on papers that evaluated a combination of the following three components: ethics, technology-based research, and populations who use drug substances and/or sex workers. We explored research on these ethical perspectives from both key populations and researchers. Summary Findings revealed potential risks in data security and possible harmful implications of compromised data within these rights-constrained settings. Best practices were explored within the literature to identify potential methods for addressing these ethical concerns and improving HIV prevention and care.
