“…The estimated pooled prevalence of lifetime condom nonuse with any sexual partners, including paying clients and nonpaying partners, was 15.26% (95% CI: 10.68–20.49). The prevalence of this outcome was reported in five studies and ranged from 6.84% in a study in Tehran (Divkolaye et al, 2020) to 22.13% in the first national biobehavioral surveillance survey (Sajadi et al, 2013, Figure 2, Panel F).…”

Condomless sex is the most proximal risk for HIV acquisition among female sex workers (FSWs). We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to summarize the evidence for the prevalence of condomless sex among FSWs in Iran. A random-effect metaanalysis model was used to pool the prevalence estimates and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The pooled prevalence of condomless sex at last sex with a paying client and a nonpaying partner was 34.23% (95% CI: 27.83-40.93) and 48.34 (95% CI: 38.43-58.32), respectively. Last-month inconsistent condom use was 49.01% (95% CI: 21.64-76.71) with paying clients and 60.21% (95% CI: 31.27-85.73) with nonpaying partners. The pooled prevalence of lifetime condom nonuse with any partners/clients was 15.26% (95% CI: 10.68-20.49). These findings indicate that a substantial proportion of FSWs engage in high-risk sexual practices. Community-led programs should be stimulated to improve consistent condom use among FSWs.
