The purpose of this study is to determine the seroprevalence of HIVamong female sex workers (FSWs) and to document the behavior in this target population four years after the last study and possibly readjust these interventions. We conducted from March 27 to April 4, 2015 a crosssectional study of 1197 FSWs. Behavior data were collected by interviewer-administered questionnaires. The FSWs were then subjected to blood tests to measure the prevalence of HIV. The average age of respondents FSWs was 28 years and 20% had their first sexual intercourse before 15 years old. Overall, 48% of the FSWs received between 1 and 7 customers per working day. The majority of FSWs (90%) had consistently used condoms during their last week of work. HIV seroprevalence was 11.7% for FSWs. HIV prevalence was higher in FSWs living in Lomé, the capital city, (13.4%) than those living in the Kara region, in the North of the country (2%), P < 0.0001. The results of this study show the positive behavioral change in FSWs with a stabilization of HIV prevalence in this group after four years.
本研究的目的是确定女性性工作者中艾滋病毒的血清流行率，并记录自上次研究四年后该目标人群的行为，以及可能对这些干预措施进行调整。2015年3月27日至4月4日，我们对1197名女性性工作者进行了一项横断面研究。行为数据通过访谈员管理的问卷收集。然后对女性性工作者进行血液检测以测量艾滋病毒的流行率。女性性工作者受访者的平均年龄为28岁，20%的人在15岁之前首次发生性行为。总体而言，48%的女性性工作者每个工作日接待1至7名顾客。大多数女性性工作者（90%）在工作的最后一周一直使用避孕套。女性性工作者的艾滋病毒血清流行率为11.7%。居住在首都洛美的女性性工作者的艾滋病毒流行率（13.4%）高于该国北部卡拉地区的女性性工作者（2%），P<0.0001。本研究结果显示女性性工作者的行为有积极变化，该群体的艾滋病毒流行率在四年后趋于稳定。
