Summary View help for Summary

This project develops a culturally-sensitive HIV/STI intervention for older female sex workers in China. In-depth interviews are conducted with older female sex workers and focus groups with stakeholders such as pimps and owners of beauty salons and hotels. Older female sex workers are also recruited from their social network ties in three cities in China (N=1,200; 400 per site) to participate in a community-based survey. It applies a network-based sampling method (respondent-driven sampling) to recruit more representative samples at the community level, and it uses on-site bio-tests for HIV and syphilis and an on-site bio-test for prostate-specific antigens to validate self-reported condom use.
