Total sample size was 48.</AbstractText><AbstractText Label="FINDINGS" NlmCategory="RESULTS">One-third of participants started sex work before age 15. Knowledge of HIV was accurate and most reported having intentions to use condoms consistently with clients; however, factors such as higher payments, drug and/or alcohol use, fear of violence, and police harassment affected condom use. They perceived violence and rape at the hands of clients as their greatest risk. They also reported abuse and exploitation by police. Respondents voiced strong concerns that girls and teens involved in sex work are at higher risk of unsafe sex, exploitation, and abuse than their older and more experienced counterparts. Unprotected sex with boyfriends was also common.</AbstractText><AbstractText Label="DISCUSSION" NlmCategory="CONCLUSIONS">The pathway to sex work followed a similar pattern for many study participants who left their rural homes for Kumasi in search of economic opportunity. While adolescents who sell sex appear to be abundant in Kumasi, they have been missed by HIV prevention and harm reduction programming. The findings from this study informed the design and implementation of a young female sex worker peer educator pilot program. Key elements of that program are presented, and recommendations for future program evaluation are made.</AbstractText></Abstract><AuthorList CompleteYN="Y"><Author ValidYN="Y"><LastName>Onyango</LastName><ForeName>Monica Adhiambo</ForeName><Initials>MA</Initials><AffiliationInfo><Affiliation>*Department of Global Health, Boston University School of Public Health, Boston, MA; †Center for Global Health and Development, Boston University, Boston, MA; ‡Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, School of Medical Sciences, Kumasi, Ghana; §Ghana Health Service, Kumasi, Ghana; ‖United States Agency for International Development, Yaounde, Cameroon; and ¶FHI360, Accra, Ghana.</Affiliation></AffiliationInfo></Author><Author ValidYN="Y"><LastName>Adu-Sarkodie</LastName><ForeName>Yaw</ForeName><Initials>Y</Initials></Author><Author ValidYN="Y"><LastName>Agyarko-Poku</LastName><ForeName>Thomas</ForeName><Initials>T</Initials></Author><Author ValidYN="Y"><LastName>Asafo</LastName><ForeName>Mabel Kissiwah</ForeName><Initials>MK</Initials></Author><Author ValidYN="Y"><LastName>Sylvester</LastName><ForeName>Joy</ForeName><Initials>J</Initials></Author><Author ValidYN="Y"><LastName>Wondergem</LastName><ForeName>Peter</ForeName><Initials>P</Initials></Author><Author ValidYN="Y"><LastName>Green</LastName><ForeName>Kimberly</ForeName><Initials>K</Initials></Author><Author ValidYN="Y"><LastName>Wambugu</LastName><ForeName>Samuel</ForeName><Initials>S</Initials></Author><Author ValidYN="Y"><LastName>Brennan</LastName><ForeName>Alana T</ForeName><Initials>AT</Initials></Author><Author ValidYN="Y"><LastName>Beard</LastName><ForeName>Jennifer</ForeName><Initials>J</Initials></Author></AuthorList><Language>eng</Language><PublicationTypeList><PublicationType UI="D016428">Journal Article</PublicationType><PublicationType UI="D013485">Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't</PublicationType><PublicationType UI="D013486">Research Support, U.S. Gov't, Non-P.H.S.</PublicationType></PublicationTypeList></Article><MedlineJournalInfo><Country>United States</Country><MedlineTA>J Acquir Immune Defic Syndr</MedlineTA><NlmUniqueID>100892005</NlmUniqueID><ISSNLinking>1525-4135</ISSNLinking></MedlineJournalInfo><CitationSubset>IM</CitationSubset><CitationSubset>X</CitationSubset><MeshHeadingList><MeshHeading><DescriptorName UI="D000293" MajorTopicYN="N">Adolescent</DescriptorName></MeshHeading><MeshHeading><DescriptorName UI="D005260" MajorTopicYN="N">Female</DescriptorName></MeshHeading><MeshHeading><DescriptorName UI="D017144" MajorTopicYN="N">Focus Groups</DescriptorName></MeshHeading><MeshHeading><DescriptorName UI="D005869" MajorTopicYN="N" Type="Geographic">Ghana</DescriptorName><QualifierName UI="Q000453" MajorTopicYN="N">epidemiology</QualifierName></MeshHeading><MeshHeading><DescriptorName UI="D015658" MajorTopicYN="N">HIV Infections</DescriptorName><QualifierName UI="Q000453" MajorTopicYN="Y">epidemiology</QualifierName></MeshHeading><MeshHeading><DescriptorName UI="D007722" MajorTopicYN="N">Health Knowledge, Attitudes, Practice</DescriptorName></MeshHeading><MeshHeading><DescriptorName UI="D006801" MajorTopicYN="N">Humans</DescriptorName></MeshHeading><MeshHeading><DescriptorName UI="D011203" MajorTopicYN="Y">Poverty</DescriptorName></MeshHeading><MeshHeading><DescriptorName UI="D011902" MajorTopicYN="N">Rape</DescriptorName></MeshHeading><MeshHeading><DescriptorName UI="D012307" MajorTopicYN="N">Risk Factors</DescriptorName></MeshHeading><MeshHeading><DescriptorName UI="D060386" MajorTopicYN="N">Sex Workers</DescriptorName><QualifierName UI="Q000706" MajorTopicYN="Y">statistics & numerical data</QualifierName></MeshHeading><MeshHeading><DescriptorName UI="D012747" MajorTopicYN="N">Sexual Partners</DescriptorName></MeshHeading><MeshHeading><DescriptorName UI="D047568" MajorTopicYN="N">Unsafe Sex</DescriptorName></MeshHeading><MeshHeading><DescriptorName UI="D014754" MajorTopicYN="Y">Violence</DescriptorName></MeshHeading><MeshHeading><DescriptorName UI="D055815" MajorTopicYN="N">Young Adult</DescriptorName></MeshHeading></MeshHeadingList></MedlineCitation><PubmedData><History><PubMedPubDate PubStatus="entrez"><Year>2015</Year><Month>2</Month><Day>28</Day><Hour>6</Hour><Minute>0</Minute></PubMedPubDate><PubMedPubDate PubStatus="pubmed"><Year>2015</Year><Month>2</Month><Day>28</Day><Hour>6</Hour><Minute>0</Minute></PubMedPubDate><PubMedPubDate PubStatus="medline"><Year>2015</Year><Month>4</Month><Day>29</Day><Hour>6</Hour><Minute>0</Minute></PubMedPubDate></History><PublicationStatus>ppublish</PublicationStatus><ArticleIdList><ArticleId IdType="pubmed">25723977</ArticleId><ArticleId IdType="doi">10.1097/QAI.0000000000000455</ArticleId><ArticleId IdType="pii">00126334-201503011-00009</ArticleId></ArticleIdList></PubmedData></pubmed></record>Pour manipuler ce document sous Unix (Dilib)
