While the relationship between social support and psychological well-being has been well established, limited studies have explored how social support might affect condom use among female sex workers (FSWs). Using cross-sectional data from 1,022 FSWs in Guangxi, China, we examined how different forms of support from diverse sources may influence condom use among FSWs. Friends, coworkers, and stable partners were FSWs' main sources of social support. Social support from diverse sources differently impacts FSWs' condom use. Policymakers need to consider the complicated profile of social support received by FSWs and create supportive environment for FSWs to protect themselves from HIV risks.
虽然社会支持与心理健康之间的关系已得到充分证实，但仅有有限的研究探讨了社会支持如何影响女性性工作者（FSW）使用避孕套的情况。利用来自中国广西1022名女性性工作者的横断面数据，我们研究了来自不同来源的不同形式的支持如何影响女性性工作者使用避孕套的情况。朋友、同事和固定伴侣是女性性工作者社会支持的主要来源。来自不同来源的社会支持对女性性工作者使用避孕套的影响各不相同。政策制定者需要考虑女性性工作者所获得的社会支持的复杂情况，并为女性性工作者创造支持性环境，以保护她们免受艾滋病毒风险。
