Sponsor's own description
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a community based combination HIV prevention package, including biomedical, behavioral, and structural services for female sex workers (FSW) in Baltimore, Maryland. This study is a prospective two-group trial comparing the efficacy of a community-based comprehensive HIV/STI prevention package compared to standard of care (HIV testing, counseling, and referrals) among FSWs. Outcomes will be assessed through self-reported illicit drug use and sexual risk behaviors (behavioral) as well as HIV/STI testing (biological).
