Bolivian sex workers were more likely than other employed women to report tuberculosis screening only if they reported HIV screening. Of all women with household tuberculosis exposure, <40% reported screening for themselves or their children. Coupling tuberculosis screening with sex workers' mandatory HIV screenings may be a cost-efficient disease-control strategy.
玻利维亚性工作者只有在报告进行了艾滋病毒筛查的情况下,才比其他职业女性更有可能报告进行了结核病筛查。在所有有家庭结核病接触史的女性中,不到40%的人报告为自己或孩子进行了筛查。将结核病筛查与性工作者的强制性艾滋病毒筛查相结合,可能是一种具有成本效益的疾病控制策略。
