1. Monitoring: What are the levels and trends in the logical framework indicators from HIV prevention? These include behavior, behavioral determinants (opportunity, ability, motivation) and exposure.

2. Segmentation: Which behavioral determinants for opportunity, ability and motivation and population characteristics are correlated with behavior?

3. Evaluation: Is exposure to HIV prevention BCC activities among CSWs resulting in changes in consistent condom use with clients and b
ehavioral determinants? The CSW follow-up survey collected information from randomly selected CSWs in Kampala and Kasese districts. A sample of 1225 respondents was surveyed in the follow-up compared to 657 in the baseline. Wilsken Agencies implemented the data collection and entry activities.

Two districts (Kampala and Kasese) were purposively selected as the areas in which PSI conducted the interventions. Using data from a mapping exercise conducted in 2004, specific locations (hotspots bars, lodges, nightclub surroundings) where CSWs are normally located at night were defined into clusters. A lottery method was used to sample the locations to be visited. Each location was visited once to avoid interviewing the same person.

CSWs were identified through the help of key
informants such as bar tenders. All CSWs found in these places at the time of the visits were surveyed. Interviews were done at night during their work hours. The study was conducted among CSWs that had continuously worked in Kampala and or Kasese (for six months or more) to ensure that they had a chance of having been exposed to PSIU interventions. Using this procedure a sample of 1236 CSWs was selected.
