abstract: 'BackgroundAcross diverse regions globally, sex workers continue to face
a disproportionate burden of HIV and other sexually transmitted and
blood borne infections (STBBIs). Evidence suggests that behavioural and
biomedical interventions are only moderately successful in reducing
STBBIs at the population level, leading to calls for increased
structural and community-led interventions. Given that structural
approaches to mitigating STBBI risk beyond HIV among sex workers in
high-income settings remain poorly understood, this critical review
aimed to provide a comprehensive synthesis of the global research and
literature on determinants of HIV and other STBBIs and promising
intervention practices for sex workers of all genders in high-income
countries.MethodsWe searched for publications over the last decade
(January 2005-March 2016) among sex workers (cis women, cis men, and
trans individuals). Data obtained from quantitative peer-reviewed
studies were triangulated with publicly available reports and
qualitative/ethnographic research where quantitative evidence was
limited.ResultsResearch demonstrates consistent evidence of the direct
and indirect impacts of structural factors (e.g., violence, stigma,
criminalization, poor working conditions) on increasing risk for STBBIs
among sex workers, further compounded by individual and interpersonal
factors (e.g., mental health, substance use, unprotected sex).
Sub-optimal access to health and STBBI prevention services remains
concerning. Full decriminalization of sex work has been shown to have
the largest potential to avert new infections in sex work, through
reducing workplace violence and increasing access to safer workspaces.
Promising practices and strategies that should be scaled-up and
evaluated to prevent STBBIs are highlighted.ConclusionsThe high burden
of STBBIs among sex workers across high-income settings is of major
concern. This review uniquely contributes to our understanding of
multilevel factors that potentiate and mitigate STBBI risk for sex
workers of all genders. Research suggests that multipronged structural
and community-led approaches are paramount to addressing STBBI burden,
and are necessary to realizing health and human rights for sex workers.
Given the heterogeneity of sex worker populations, and distinct
vulnerabilities faced by cis men and trans sex workers, further research
utilizing mixed-methods should be implemented to delineate the
intersections of risk and ameliorate critical health inequalities.'
