Female sex workers' livelihoods in Zimbabwe have been severely impacted by the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic due to closure of entertainment venues. Competition over fewer clients has reduced ability to negotiate condom use. At the same time as partner numbers have decreased, frequency of reported condomless sex has not increased, suggesting potential reduction in overall HIV and sexually transmitted infection risk and an opportunity for programmes to reach sex workers with holistic social and economic support and prevention services.
由于娱乐场所关闭，津巴布韦的性工作者生计受到 2019 年冠状病毒病大流行的严重影响。由于客户减少，性工作者协商使用安全套的能力降低。虽然性伴侣数量减少，但报告无保护性行为的频率并未增加，这表明总体艾滋病毒和性传播感染风险可能降低，为向性工作者提供全面的社会和经济支持以及预防服务提供了机会。
