The population of women who sell or exchange sex or intimate sexual services for material goods or services, also called "sex work," often is unrecognized in the typical obstetric and gynecologic practice. The prevalence of this behavior among adult women is difficult to quantify because of its frequent omission from the routine sexual history by women and clinicians. Data on the prevalence of sex work in the United States are largely lacking. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists supports increasing awareness about the health risks, preventive care needs, and limited health care services for female sex workers.
通过出售或交换性服务或亲密性行为以获取物质商品或服务（即所谓的“性工作”）的女性群体，在典型的妇产科诊疗中常常未被识别。由于女性和临床医生在常规性病史中经常遗漏这一行为，成年女性中这种行为的患病率难以量化。美国在很大程度上缺乏关于性工作患病率的数据。美国妇产科医师学会支持提高对女性性工作者健康风险、预防保健需求及有限医疗服务的认识。
