| Resumen |
A random sample of 924 female sex workers from two Mexican localities bordering the United States were divided between intervention and reference groups. The intervention group received a 30-minute presentation on sexual risk reduction. At baseline and six months later, women underwent interviews and testing for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhoea and chlamydia. A 40% decline in sexually transmitted illness incidence was observed in the intervention group. Incidence rates for the intervention versus control groups was 13.8 versus 24.92 per 100 person-years for sexually transmitted illnesses combined and 0 versus 2.01 per 100 person-years for HIV. There were concomitant increases in the percentage of protected sex acts. Implications of these findings are discussed. |
