ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To understand the high risk behaviors of female sex workers (FSWs) in Yunnan province in 2013.METHODS:
A cross-sectional investigation was conducted during April to June, 2013 in Yunnan province, census was used to the investigation where the number of FSWs was close to 200, while probability sampling was used where the number of FSWs was obviously over 200. A total of 25 574 cases were investigated, and data on demography and risk behaviors were obtained by questionnaires one by one.RESULTS:
A total of 25 574 cases were investigated, AIDS awareness among FSWs in high-level places, middle-level places and low-level place were 98.8% (92/7 401), 98.6% (150/10 995), and 96.0% (281/6 655). FSWs from low-level place had a lower rate than those from the other two types of places (P < 0.01). The rate of condom use each time when having sex with clients within the recent one month among FESs from high-level places, middle-level places and low-level place were 93.4% (6 307/6 755), 93.8% (10 109/10 782) and 90.4% (6 053/6 697), and the FSWs working in low-level place had a lower rate than those from the other two types of places(P < 0.01). Multi-factor logistic regression analysis showed that the following had a lower rate of condom use the FSWs working in low-level place (OR = 1.56, 95% CI1.36-1.79; OR = 1.36, 1.16-1.59), over 30 years old (OR = 0.77, 95%CI0.69-0.85), Yunnan citizen (OR = 0.88, 95% CI0.77-1.00), minority (OR = 1.32, 95% CI1.16-1.50), under senior high school (OR = 0.61, 95%CI0.49-0.75), married (OR = 0.81, 95% CI0.71-0.92), living together (OR = 0.70, 95% CI0.51-0.96), divorced or lost spouses (OR = 0.81, 95% CI0.65-1.02), worked less than 6 months in local areas (OR = 1.74, 95% CI1.34-2.27), drug users (OR = 1.65, 95% CI1.11-2.46), had not accepted HIV interventions (OR = 2.91, 95% CI2.36-3.58), had no knowledge about AIDS (OR = 4.50, 95% CI3.48-5.82). The main reasons for not using condoms were the clients' unwilling to use, which accounted for 47.62% (270/567). The total rate of drug use was 1.0% (264/25 567) and the FSWs working in middle-level places had the highest rate of injecting drugs, which accounted for 0.6% (70/11 141). The FSWs working in low-level places had a higher rate than those who worked in high-level places and middle-level places in venereal diseases, which accounted for 1.2% (85/6 934) (P < 0.01). The rate of receiving effective interventions was 96.7% (24 717/25 574), the rate of accepting treatment and clean needles among drug users was 21.6% (57/264).CONCLUSION:
High risk behaviors were serious among the FSWs who worked in low-level places, especially among the olders, the minorities, people who had lower educational level, the new-comer and drug users, which indicated that more attention needs to be paid among these populations.
