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.
通过出卖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实践中常常未得到关注。由于女性自身以及临床医生在常规性病史询问中经常遗漏此项内容，成年女性中这种行为的发生率难以量化。美国关于性工作发生率的数据极为匮乏。美国妇产科医师学会支持提高对女性性工作者健康风险、预防性保健需求以及有限医疗服务的认知。
