Abstract

Adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) engaging in sex-for-money transactions are at risk of HIV infection. A better understanding of the demographic, socio-economic factors and risks of HIV acquisition is required to guide appropriate public health interventions targeting young sex workers in South Africa. A cross-sectional survey of Female Sex Workers (FSWs), using a chain referral sampling method, was conducted across 12 sites in South Africa in 2019. Three thousand and five participants were enrolled and interviewed assessing demographic characteristics, sexual behaviour, substance use and HIV testing and treatment. Of 3005 women, 13.3% were ≤24 years old (young FSWs); of these, 60.0% entered sex work aged ≤19 years. Economic factors were the primary drivers of entry into sex work. HIV prevalence amongst young FSWs was 40.4%, with 12.4% recently infected. Younger FSWs were significantly less likely to know they were HIV positive (87.6% versus 92.1%), to report any ART exposure (75.2% versus 87.6%) and to be virally suppressed (58.1% versus 75.2%) compared to older FSWs. Our findings highlight that many FSWs enter sex work at a young age. It is essential to develop tailored services and interventions that improve access to HIV prevention and treatment services addressing specific needs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
