HIV incidence and risk factors for seroconversion among female sex workers and single mothers in a 10-year prospective cohort
Single mothers share similar HIV risk to FSW, and both populations require targeted interventions. For single mothers, government postnatal clinics should combine comprehensive sexual education with screening and treatment for syphilis and trichomoniasis. For FSW, we recommend integrated and accessible interventions to prevent HIV and sexually transmitted infections. Future studies should investigate the social determinants of condom use among both FSW and single mothers.
