Mobile sex workers weakness AIDS

In Dhaka city, Mobile Female sex workers (M-SWs) are unusually vulnerable to physical and sexual abuse by both close partners and clients/customers. Public health interventions for M-SWs have to integrate basic services such as shelter, social support, education, feasible employment opportunities, and prevention of drug abuse and clients violence. There is a relationship between client violence, drug use, and risks of HIV/STDs among M-SWs. It is crucial to pay close attention to these relationships so that more effective policies and programmes to serve M-SWs can be developed.

Mobile Sex Workers (M-SWs) in Bangladesh would play a critical role of HIV/AIDS infections. Due to the types of their work, the lack of sexually transmitted infections (STI/STDs) awareness and low acceptance of condom use, M-SWs represent a highly vulnerable group in Bangladesh. The sharp rise in others sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in Bangladesh contributes to the spread of HIV and may lead to a extensive epidemic, as the heterosexual mode of others STI transmission accounts for an increasing percentage of HIV transmission.

However, Mobile Sex Workers (M-SWs) and HIV/AIDS were not regarded as complex social phenomenon in Bangladesh. But it is suspicious, though there is no information about HIV/AIDS prevalence among M-SWs and their clients, which can become a critical issue of general public health, especially if we keep in mind that HIV/AIDS prevalence among M-SWs and their client groups vary in deferent region in Bangladesh.
