Female sex workers (FSWs) are considered a bridge for transmission of pathogens from high-risk to general populations. We assessed the epidemiological status of syphilis in FSWs along the Pará highway system.
Two hundred and twenty-two FSWs were interviewed and samples were analyzed using rapid qualitative tests and real-time polymerase chain reaction.
The prevalence of syphilis was high (36.94%). The high rate of prostitution, use of illicit drugs, and search for financial resources increased Treponema pallidum transmission through unprotected sex.
Several characteristics of FSWs were identified, which reinforce the need for measures guaranteeing their health and protection.
女性性工作者被视为病原体从高危人群传播至普通人群的桥梁。我们评估了帕拉高速公路沿线女性性工作者梅毒的流行状况。
对222名女性性工作者进行了访谈，并使用快速定性检测和实时聚合酶链反应对样本进行分析。
梅毒患病率很高（36.94%）。高卖淫率、使用非法药物以及寻求经济来源增加了梅毒螺旋体通过无保护性行为传播的几率。
确定了女性性工作者的几个特征，这强化了采取措施保障她们健康和保护她们的必要性。
