HIV prevention and treatment cascades among female sex workers in Ghana: gaps and priorities that should be addressed by the national programme
The results show that both the prevention and treatment cascades are suboptimal. Key gaps identified include low: HIV testing, viral load suppression, condom use with both paying clients and non-paying partners. There is therefore the need to scale prevention and treatment interventions particularly HIV testing, treatment initiation, consistent condoms use with both paying clients and non-paying partners to help achieve the 95-95-95 fast track targets.
