Condomless sexual encounters among female sex workers included in a longitudinal coital diary study in Zimbabwe
Condomless sex was common and varied based on FSW age, partner type, experiencing violence during sex, and KP programme contact. These findings emphasize the need for continued condom promotion, counseling, violence mitigation, and training in condom negotiation skills especially given the heightened risk of HIV transmission among FSWs.
