- AB A cross-sectional study among female sex workers in Abidjan was
- conducted to study the association between sexually transmitted diseases
- and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and HIV-related
- immunosuppression. Among 1209 women tested for HIV, 962 (80%) were
- seropositive. HIV infection was independently associated with a longer
- duration of sex work, a lower price for intercourse, being an immigrant,
- and having a positive Treponema pallidum hemagglutination test (P <
- .05). Genital ulcers (25% vs. 5%), genital warts (14% vs. 4%), Neisseria
- gonorrhoeae (32% vs. 16%), Trichomonas vaginalis (27% vs. 17%), and
- syphilis (27% vs. 17%) were more frequent (P < .05) in HIV-infected than
- uninfected women. Among HIV-infected women, the proportions with a
- genital ulcer were 17%, 25%, and 36% for those with > 28%, 14%-28%, and
- < 14% CD4 cells, respectively (P < .001). This study suggests that
- genital ulcers are an opportunistic disease in female sex workers in
- Abidjan.
