Gender Based Violence as a Risk Factor for HIV-Associated Risk Behaviors Among Female Sex Workers in Armenia
Delia L. Lang; Laura F. Salazar; Ralph J. DiClemente, and Karine Markosyan · 2012
Catalogue summary
This cross-sectional study of female sex workers in Armenia examines how gender-based violence is associated with HIV-related sexual risk. It finds that violence correlates with unreliable protection practices, a history of sexually transmitted infection, and an earlier entry into sex work.
Why this matters
It supplies Armenia-specific evidence for treating violence, health services, law enforcement, and economic conditions as connected public-health concerns rather than isolating HIV prevention from gendered risk.
