“…Few investigators have examined the nuanced and intersecting influence of policy, social, and physical features of the work environment in the mitigation or conferment of HIV risk among FSWs. The authors of these studies examined how supportive venue-based policies 30, 32, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81 or managerial practices (eg, client sign-in, safety mechanisms, or removal of violent clients) 48, 69, 76, 77, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85 and physical features (eg, types or layout of venues) of sex work establishments are associated with increased condom use, often through synergistic effects with other social features of increased peer or sex worker support 32, 52, 53, 69, 72, 76, 79, 81, 83, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90. Work environments for FSWs are shaped by economic features (eg, economic pressures, client financial incentives for non-condom use, refusal of payment, and bribes or fines by state agents [eg, police] to avoid arrest) resulting from macrostructural forces of poverty, laws, and access to resources and are associated with non-condom use27, 28, 29, 30, 40, 41, 48, 64, 70, 83, 84, 87, 91, 92, 93 and HIV infection among FSWs.…”
