摘要
女性性工作者(FSWs)是受人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染影响最大的群体之一。在东地中海(EM)国家,女服务员的艾滋病毒感染率往往非常高。然而,没有对新兴市场国家的fsw进行审查。本系统综述的目的是估计新兴市场国家外佣中HIV感染的流行程度。材料和方法:截至2020年9月10日,检索了EM国家fsw中HIV感染流行率的发表文章。在Web of Science、Scopus、PubMed、EMBASE、Ovid和IMEMER数据库中使用合适的关键词。另外检索了每篇论文的参考文献和会议摘要。根据纳入和排除标准选择论文。结果:总共选择了21项研究,这些研究在8个新兴市场国家进行。报告的艾滋病毒感染率在女服务员中从0%到16%不等。女服务员的平均工作时间从2年到6年不等,在一些论文中,女服务员在性接触中从不或很少使用避孕套。然而,据报道,在巴基斯坦、黎巴嫩和伊朗,女伴使用避孕套的比例分别高达65%、64%和62%。fsw的吸毒率很高,从巴基斯坦和苏丹的5%到伊朗的91%和埃及的96.2%不等。研究和亚组之间的异质性非常高,由于异质性高,未进行meta分析。结论:报告的艾滋病毒感染率在东地中海地区的女性性工作者人群中存在差异。需要更多来自不同新兴市场国家的研究。
Prevalence of HIV infection among female sex workers in the Eastern Mediterranean Region countries: a systematic review
Introduction: Female sex workers (FSWs) are one of the groups most affected by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. In Eastern Mediterranean (EM) countries, HIV prevalence among FSWs is often extremely high. However, no review has been conducted on FSWs in EM countries. The purpose of this systematic review was to estimate the prevalence of HIV infection among FSWs in EM countries. Material and methods: Articles published on the prevalence of HIV infection among FSWs in EM countries were searched until September 10, 2020. Appropriate keywords were used in Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, EMBASE, Ovid, and IMEMER databases. References of each paper and conference abstracts were additionally searched. Papers were selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: In total, 21 studies were selected, which were performed in 8 EM countries. The reported prevalence of HIV infection ranged from 0 to 16% among FSWs. The average time women worked as FSWs ranged from 2 to 6 years, and in some papers, FSWs never or rarely used condoms during sexual contact. However, the consistency of using condoms among FSWs was reported as high as 65% in Pakistan, 64% in Lebanon, and 62% In Iran. The prevalence of drug use was high among FSWs, and it ranged from 5% in Pakistan and Sudan, to 91% in Iran and 96.2 % in Egypt. Heterogeneity among the studies and sub-groups was very high, and meta-analysis was not done due to high heterogeneity. Conclusions: The reported prevalence of HIV infection varied differently among female sex workers’ populations in the Eastern Mediterranean Region. More studies are needed from different EM countries.
