| Description |
This study was undertaken in the Kingston Metropolitan Area of Jamaica between August and September, 2011. Participants were female sex workers (FSWs) resident in Kingston and St. Catherine. Sex workers (SWs) in this study are defined as women who earn an income by selling sex in exchange for money. This may or may not be their only source of income. This includes SWs who work on the street, in the exotic clubs, massage parlors and those who travel whether to different towns in Jamaica or outside of Jamaica. In an attempt to obtain as broad a representation of behaviors and partner types as possible, PEER researchers were recruited to represent those who either worked in or knew peers in different areas in the business. It is through the exploration of sexual partner types that this study intends to respond to information gaps and determinants of access and availability of condoms among FSWs. Understanding different types of sexual partners will include insight into the dynamics of their varying sexual relationships and the likely impeding factors to condom use and adoption of safer sexual behaviors.
