Description
Samuel Dery and co-authors chart the HIV care path for female sex workers in Ghana, step by step, to find where it leaks. A 2020 survey reached over 6,700 women at work venues nationwide, with interviews and on-site testing. The steps covered condom use, testing, knowing one's status, treatment, and viral control.
The leaks are wide. A quarter had never tested, and most had not tested in the prior six months. Among those with HIV, 68 percent did not know it and half lacked viral control. The authors press for scaled testing, treatment starts, and condom promotion.
