HIV prevalence and behavioral studies in female sex workers in Togo: a decline in the prevalence between 2005 and 2011

Abstract

We estimate HIV sero-prevalence among FSWs in 2011 to be 13.1% in Togo, significantly lower than a prevalence of 29.5% estimated previously in 2005. Inconsistent use of condoms was identified as associated with high risk factor for acquiring HIV.
