- W166486198 abstract "Sex workers are reservoirs and vectors for the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) which remain a major public health problem in Hong Kong. To formulate prevention strategies the prevalence and risk factors of STIs among asymptomatic female sex workers (FSWs) should be determined. In a two-year study conducted in a clinic of the non-governmental organization Ziteng coordinated the screening service including Pap smears and venipunctures for STI and HIV testing provided health education and ensured continuity of care through re-tests and follow-up interviews and conducted outreach and screening services at places where FSWs work. The study found that risk factors for STIs among asymptomatic FSWs to be place of origin a history of termination of pregnancy higher education level having multiple partners and being a non-smoker. Condom use with regular sexual partners was infrequent among FSWs which may have a bridging effect for the spread of STI to other population groups especially clients and their families. Medical professionals and public health specialists should address these misconceptions through education and prevention activities which should focus on the promotion of consistent condom use and awareness of the risks of STIs. Nonetheless education may not be sufficient in which case the World Health Organization’s hospitals approach to sexual health should be adopted." @default.
