Sexually transmitted infections and sexual practices with non-work partners, among female sex workers attending a sexual health clinic in Melbourne, 2011-2020
Our study highlights a shift in the sexual practices of FSWs outside of sex work, in line with the trends observed in the general population. These changes may contribute to changes in STI transmission dynamics in this population. Overall, we found that the STI positivity in FSWs is low.
