Abstract

Objective To describe the characteristics of female sex workers (FSW) in 12 Brazilian cities. Methods This was a cross-sectional biological and behavioral surveillance study with FSW recruited by respondent-driven sampling (RDS) in 2016. HIV prevalence, sociodemographic, behavioral and sex work profession variables were estimated by city. The chi-square test was used to compare these distributions. Results Among 4,328 FSW, HIV prevalence was 5.3% (95%CI 4.5;6.3), ranging from 0.2% (95% CI 0.0;1.2), in Campo Grande, to 18.2 (95%CI 13.2;24.7) in Salvador. In half of the cities, HIV prevalence in the samples was >5.0%, while Campo Grande, Brasília and Belo Horizonte had prevalence rates <1.0%. Significant differences between cities were found in distributions according to educational level, income, workplace, age sex work started, and illicit drug use. Conclusion The characteristics of the samples in each city were distinct and have influenced local HIV prevalence.

2016年巴西州府女性性工作者特征分析。

目的了解巴西12个城市女性性工作者(FSW)的特征。方法采用受访者驱动抽样(RDS)方法，于2016年对FSW进行横断面生物学和行为监测研究。HIV患病率、社会人口学、行为和性工作职业变量按城市进行估计。使用卡方检验比较这些分布。结果在4328名FSW中，HIV患病率为5.3% (95%CI 4.5;6.3)，范围从Campo Grande的0.2% (95%CI 0.0;1.2)到Salvador的18.2% (95%CI 13.2;24.7)。半数城市样本中艾滋病毒感染率>5.0%，而坎波格兰德、Brasília和贝洛奥里藏特的感染率较高
