Background Sex workers, like others, are facing economic hardships and anxiety about their health and safety due to coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), an infectious disease caused by a novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Universally, most sex work has largely reduced, moved online, or undertaken covertly because of lockdown measures and need for social distancing to break the transmission of SARS-CoV-2. However, the ability of sex workers to protect themselves against COVID-19 depends on their individual and interpersonal behaviors and work environment. In this study, we sought to determine the relationships between COVID-19 knowledge, awareness and prevention practice (KAP) among female commercial sex workers (FCSW) in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria to inform the development of prevention interventions for this vulnerable population. Methods Data used in this study were obtained from a cross-sectional survey of 604 FCSW operating in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. We used descriptive and inferential statistics to assess their socio-demographic characteristics and COVID-19 KAP adopted against the novel coronavirus. Latent class analysis was used to systematically classify participants’ attributes and behaviors into the most likely distinct clusters or risk groups. Results The majority of the FCSW were singles (86.8%) of childbearing ages, 21–35 years (86.2%), with almost three quarters (73.2%) of them having sex with 3–4 clients per day during the COVID-19 pandemic. Overall, almost three quarters of the participants had both good knowledge and awareness about COVID-19 but less than half of them (41.1%) implemented good practice to prevent the spread of the disease. However, a highly significant and positive relationship was recorded between COVID-19 knowledge ( r =0.90, p <0.0001) and awareness ( r =0.65, p <0.0001), and preventive practice of FCSW, respectively. About 89.1% of the participants were not very familiar with the symptoms of COVID-19 (p<0.0001). Only 10.9% of the FCSW indicated that they wear facemask at all times, while 45.2% of them do not wear facemask during sexual intercourse with their clients ( p <0.0001). Based on the FCSW attributes and behaviors, we identified three distinct clusters or risk groups (p<0.0001), namely, low-risk takers (Cluster 1), high-risk takers (Cluster 2) and very high-risk takers (Cluster 3) with latent class prevalence rates (γ c ) of 41.13% (95% CI: 37.26–45.10), 33.17% (95% CI: 29.53–37.02) and 25.71% (95% CI: 22.38–29.34), respectively. Conclusion Sex work has high transmission potentials for SARS-CoV-2 because of its operational nature, which does not permit social distancing, and thus, renders certain preventive measures practically ineffective. This is a major c...

O presente artigo trata-se de uma revisão do tipo sistemática cujo objetivo foi analisar as principais mudanças de hábitos e impactos sociais das trabalhadoras do sexo no contexto da pandemia de COVID-19. Foram revisados os textos pertencentes a Pubmed, Web of Science (todas as bases de dados), Embase, Scopus e Cochrane Library sem distinções quanto a idioma ou ano de publicação, somente foram analisados artigos que se referirem a mulheres maiores de idade como sua população. Dos 89 documentos resgatados, 29 obedeceram a nossos critérios de inclusão e exclusão. A partir da análise qualitativa dos achados, é possível identificar as profissionais do sexo como população de risco e que não foi devidamente amparada. Dessa forma, é possível observar que a inclusão das prostitutas no planejamento de políticas públicas deve ser pensado de forma a garantir os direitos básicos dessas profissionais.

“…Therefore, taking into account that prostitution is often the only income of those who offer that service, the problem got even worse during the pandemic, as social isolation was the most effective way to protect people from the novel virus. The preventive measures established by the governments ended up affecting a vulnerable category, such as the one whose members work in the sexual services field, causing in them insecurity, and fear of having their job offers reduced, getting sick, and having to be isolated (Passos & Almeida-Santos, 2020). Moreover, the reduction in the elderly's income and the difficulties faced by them even before the pandemic are elements that increased the necessity of reflecting on LGBT old age, especially…”

Background: The number of elderly people in the world is growing significantly, so there is an urgent need to ensure that this population can live a full life, especially taking into account the current COVID-19 pandemic scenario. Objective: To analyze the social representations of LGBT old age for male and female sex workers through the pandemic. Method: A qualitative, descriptive, and exploratory research conducted with 10 male and 10 female sex workers aged between 18 and 48. Sociodemographic questionnaires and semi-structured interviews were administered using Google Forms and then analyzed by descending hierarchical classification through the IRaMuTeQ software. Results: The analysis showed three classes: (1) «Social understanding of the topic LGBT old age,» (2) «Stigma of genders and sexual orientations,» and (3) «Physical transformations and their accompanying obstacles». Conclusions: The representations are associated with the difficulties that elderly people have with aging in society, as well as debating LGBT old age. There are also greater obstacles regarding aging of female sex workers. In this way, the study seeks to contribute to broaden the knowledge of the psychosocial aspects of LGBT aging and old age, especially those of sex workers.
