HIV risk among young women who sell sex by whether they identify as sex workers: analysis of respondent‐driven sampling surveys, Zimbabwe, 2017

摘要

Introduction Across sub‐Saharan Africa, selling sex puts young women at high risk of HIV. Some young women who sell sex (YWSS) may self‐identify as sex workers, while others may not, having implications for how to reach them with HIV prevention. We describe characteristics, sexual behaviours and health service use of YWSS in Zimbabwe, comparing women who identified as female sex workers (FSW) and women who did not (non‐identifying‐YWSS), and explore factors associated with HIV infection.
