Americans, BOTUSA study female sex workers

The report was written by researchers from the International Education and Training Center on HIV (I-TECH) from the University of Washington in the United States, with support from BOTUSA and funding from the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).   Matshelo Community Development Association (MCDA), based in Francistown, assisted with the study. 

Since little is understood about sex workers in Botswana, what risks they take and why, this assessment is one of the first to take a comprehensive look at these issues.
In addition to identifying HIV risks and access to health services for FSWs and their clients, the assessment looks at suitable interventions to reduce HIV/AIDS transmission in both groups.
