This article reports the characteristics of Latino day laborers who have sex with female commercial sex workers (CSWs). A sample of 450 day laborers in Los Angeles was utilized. Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine the association of independent variables with the likelihood of having sex with a CSW. Overall, 26% of the 450 day laborers reported having had sex with a CSW in the previous 12 months. A lower likelihood of having sex with a CSW was found for those with more than six years of education and for those who were married and living with their spouses. A higher likelihood of having sex with a CSW was found for those who met the criteria for harmful drinking or drug dependence. Commercial sex work has been associated with sexually transmitted infections and other problems among clients of CSWs and warrants further attention by providers working with day laborers.
本文报告了与女性商业性工作者（CSW）发生性行为的拉丁裔日工的特征。研究使用了洛杉矶450名日工的样本。采用多变量逻辑回归来确定自变量与与商业性工作者发生性行为可能性之间的关联。总体而言，450名日工中有26%报告在过去12个月内与商业性工作者发生过性行为。受教育年限超过六年的人以及已婚并与配偶同住的人，与商业性工作者发生性行为的可能性较低。符合有害饮酒或药物依赖标准的人，与商业性工作者发生性行为的可能性较高。商业性交易与商业性工作者的客户中的性传播感染及其他问题有关，值得与日工合作的服务提供者进一步关注。
