dc.description.abstractThe primary objectives of this study were to assess the changing demographic characteristics of female sex workers FSWs in the urban Bangalore district India and trends in programme coverage HIV sexually transmitted infection prevalence rates and condom use Cross sectional integrated behavioural and biological assessments of FSWs were conducted in 2006 2009 and 2011 Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to describe trends over time The results indicate the mean age of initiation into sex work has increased 26 9 years in 2006 vs 27 6 years in 2011 pUnder0 01 a higher proportion of FSWs reported being in stable relationships in 2011 70 2 vs 43 2 in 2006 pUnder0 01 and having conducted sex work outside the district in the past 6 months 10 0 in 2011 vs 16 0 in 2006 p 0 01 There was an increase in the proportion of FSWs using cellphones to solicit clients 4 4 in 2006 vs 57 5 in 2011 pUnder0 01 and their homes for sex work 61 4 in 2006 vs 77 8 in 2011 pUnder0 01 Reactive syphilis prevalence declined 12 6 in 2006 to 4 in 2011 p 0 02 as did high titre syphilis prevalence 9 5 in 2006 to 2 5 in 2011 p 0 01 HIV prevalence declined but not significantly 12 7 in 2006 and 9 3 in 2011 p 0 39 Condom use remained above 90 increasing significantly among repeat paying clients 66 6 in 2006 to 93 6 in 2011 pUnder0 01 However condom use remained low with non paying partners when compared with occasional paying partners 17 6 vs 97 2 in 2011 pUnder0 01 Given the changing dynamics in the FSW population at multiple levels there is a need to develop and customise strategies to meet local needs
