abstract: 'Introduction: Cisgender and transgender woman sex workers (CWSWs and
TWSWs, respectively) are key populations in Malaysia with higher
HIV-prevalence than that of the general population. Given the impact
economic instability can have on HIV transmission in these populations,
novel HIV prevention interventions that reduce poverty may reduce HIV
incidence and improve linkage and retention to care for those already
living with HIV. We examine the feasibility of a microfinance-based HIV
prevention intervention among CWSW and TWSWs in Greater Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia.
Methods: We conducted 35 in-depth interviews to examine the
acceptability of a microfinance-based HIV prevention intervention,
focusing on: (1) participants'' readiness to engage in other occupations
and the types of jobs in which they were interested in; (2) their level
of interest in the components of the potential intervention, including
training on financial literacy and vocational education; and (3)
possible barriers and facilitators to the successful completion of the
intervention. Using grounded theory as a framework of analysis,
transcripts were analysed through Nvivo 11.
Results: Participants were on average 41 years old, slightly less than
half (48\%) were married, and more than half (52\%) identified as
Muslim. Participants express high motivation to seek employment in other
professions as they perceived sex work as not a ``proper job{''''} with
opportunities for career growth but rather as a short-term option
offering an unstable form of income. Participants wanted to develop
their own small enterprise. Most participants expressed a high level of
interest in microfinance intervention and training to enable them to
enter a new profession. Possible barriers to intervention participation
included time, stigma, and a lack of resources.
Conclusion: Findings indicate that a microfinance intervention is
acceptable and desirable for CWSWs and TWSWs in urban Malaysian contexts
as participants reported that they were ready to engage in alternative
forms of income generation.'
