History
Founded in 1993, with headquarters in , the organisation initially operated in Italy, Austria, Germany, and the Netherlands. As of November 2019, it coordinates a network of 30 organisations, in 25 countries of Europe, and receives funding from the European Commission, as well as from national governments, and was said to reach persons from over 80 different nationalities, as of January 2018. As of November 2019, TAMPEP is hosted by Pro-tukipiste, a service provider organisation based in Helsinki, Finland.

TAMPEP originally stood for "Transnational AIDS/STD prevention amongst Migrant Prostitutes in Europe Project"; "STD" was later changed to "STI". The organisation has changed its self-description several times over the years: By 2004, it presented itself as the "European Network for Transnational AIDS/STD Prevention among Migrant Prostitutes"; as of 2019, it calls itself the "European Network for HIV/STI Prevention and Health Promotion among Migrant Sex Workers".

TAMPEP states that in 2017, it was re-structured into a "migrant sex worker-led network that unites sex worker groups and allies in the fields of sex work, migration, and health. The purpose of the network is to build stronger partnerships, and to advocate for the rights and health of migrant and mobile sex workers at the European level".
