Estimating early HIV risk among at risk adolescent girls and young women in Dnipro, Ukraine (original) (raw)

By 2016, Ukraine had the second largest HIV epidemic in Eastern Europe and Central Asia with 280,358 people living with HIV. Interventions targeted for FSWs are a key component of HIV prevention programs as heterosexual contacts continue to gain higher epidemic significance-the proportion of the sexual way of HIV transmission has steadily increased and reached the value of 73,3% in 2016. However, HIV prevention programs for female sex workers generally provide services to women who self-identify as sex workers. Thus, programs aimed at female sex workers may not reach women who exchange sex for money or other resources, but who do not identify as sex workers.
