Full textThis research project based on the intervention mapping framework aimed to develop, implement and evaluate an intervention that encourages female sex workers (FSW) to get regularly tested for HIV (every three months) in adapted health services (AS). The research was structured in three phases. The first phase was to identify the factors associated with the intention of FSW to get tested for HIV within the next three months based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB). Structural equation modeling showed that 55% of the variance in intention is explained by the theoretical model, and that the main predictors sorted in descending order of importance are as follow: perceived behavioral control (β = 0.26; P < 0.001); descriptive norms (β = 0.24; P < 0.001); behavioral beliefs (β = 0.22; P < 0.001); the habit (β = 0.20; P < 0.001); attitude (β = 0.12; P = 0.01); perceived risk (β = 0.07; P = 0.03) and the normative beliefs (β = 20.07; P = 0.03). The second phase focused on the development and implementation of an intervention based on the results from the first phase. The intervention included activities targeting changes at both the individual and environmental levels, through various methods such as motivational counseling, peer education, persuasive communication, capacity building, the reorganization of clinical services, consultation meetings, and strategies adapted to the context of the environment and needs of FSW. The third phase, which aimed to assess the implementation and the effects of the targeted intervention, showed its efficacy in increasing the proportion of FSW who adopt HIV testing every three months. The results point out to a positive and significant relationship between exposure to intervention and the adoption of the desired behavior. When exposure to the activities of the intervention increases by one unit, the odds of adoption of HIV testing among FSW increases by 13% (odds ratio: 1.13; 95 % confidence interval [1.10; 1.14]; p < 0.001). A dose-response relationship is highlighted, showing that the more FSW are exposed to promotion activities, the more likely they adopt HIV testing.

Full textObjective: To examine the relationship between violence, condom breakage and HIV prevalence among female sex workers (FSWs). Design: Data were obtained from the 2012 cross-sectional integrated biological and behavioural survey conducted in Benin. Methods: Multivariable log-binomial regression was used to estimate the adjusted prevalence ratios (APRs) of HIV infection and condom breakage in relation to violence towards FSWs. A score was created to examine the relationship between the number of violence types reported and HIV infection. Results: Among the 981 women who provided a blood sample, HIV prevalence was 20.4%. During the last month, 17.2%, 13.5% and 33.5% of them had experienced physical, sexual and psychological violence, respectively. In addition, 15.9% reported at least one condom breakage during the previous week. There was a significant association between all types of violence and HIV prevalence. The APRs of HIV were 1.45 (95% confidence interval [95%CI]: 1.05 - 2.00), 1.42 (95%CI: 1.02 - 1.98), and 1.41 (95%CI: 1.08 - 1.41) among those who had ever experienced physical, sexual and psychological violence, respectively. HIV prevalence increased with the violence score (p=0.002, test for trend), and physical and sexual violence were independently associated with condom breakage (p values 0.010 and 0.003, respectively). Conclusion: The results show that violence is associated with a higher HIV prevalence among FSWs and that condom breakage is a potential mediator for this association. Longitudinal studies designed to analyse this relationship and specific interventions integrated to current HIV prevention strategies are needed to reduce the burden of violence among FSWs. Key words: Violence, condom failure, HIV, female sex workers, sub-Saharan Africa.

Full textHIV infection continues to be a public health burden despite all the prevention and treatment efforts accomplished to date. It is therefore essential to propose new prevention methods to reduce the transmission of HIV. The use of antiretrovirals (ARVs) to prevent the transmission and acquisition of HIV infection seems promising for this purpose. Two prevention methods, early antiretroviral (E-ART) and pre exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) have proven their efficacy in clinical trials but should be evaluated in "real life" outside the framework of clinical trials. The objective of this thesis was therefore to assess the relevance and feasibility of adding these two new prevention methods to the prevention and treatment package currently offered to female sex workers (FSWs) in Benin. In this demonstration project, 361 FSWs were recruited and followed for 12 to 24 months, 105 FSWs for E-ART and 256 FSWs for PrEP. First, key indicators were measured. Uptake was 95.5% for E-ART and 88.3% for PrEP. Retention at the end of the study was 59.0% for E-ART and 47.3% for PrEP. Self-reported adherence to E-ART was higher than self-reported adherence to PrEP, which decreased significantly during follow-up. Additionally, our results do not suggest any risk compensation with PrEP. We then measured PrEP adherence using 3 different measures and compared the trends using generalized estimating equations (GEE). Tenofovir (TFV) concentration in plasma, considered as the gold standard, was compared to self-reports and pill counts. Adherence to PrEP measured by TFV concentration decreased significantly over the course of the study. The pill counts and self-reported measures overestimated adherence. The TFV concentration in plasma appears to be the most appropriate measure for adherence in this high-risk population. However, its high cost limits its systematic use. Finally, we identified the predictors of adherence to PrEP. Older age, shorter duration in the study, and high intention to take PrEP at the start of the study were the only factors associated with adherence. In conclusion, PrEP could be included as a choice in the combined HIV prevention package offered to FSWs in Benin. However, PrEP does not protect against other sexually transmitted infections. It is an individual prevention method for people at high risk of HIV infection for whom traditional means of prevention have not worked or are not adapted. E-ART, on the other hand, could have a great impact for the prevention of HIV at the population level, while significantly improving clinical care for HIV-infected FSWs. However, for the implementation of PrEP and E-ART, the interventions must take into account the reality of FSWs, particularly their mobility to ensure good adherence and retention.

Full textBackground & Objectives: Benin has a long-standing history of HIV prevention programs aimed atfemale sex workers (FSWs). Antiretroviral (ARV) treatment is available in Benin since 2002 and a testand-treat strategy was adopted in 2016. We used data from a national survey among FSWs (2017) toassess the prevention and care cascades in this population. Methods: FSWs were recruited through cluster sampling of sex work sites. After informed consent, a questionnaire was administered, and HIV tested with sequential rapid tests whose results were givenback to participants. After a second consent, HIV-positive participants were asked to provide driedblood spots (DBS). DBS were tested for ARV and viral load. We assessed two prevention cascades(HIV testing and safer sex) and the treatment cascade, using a combination of self-reported andbiological variables for defining HIV-positive status knowledge and being on treatment. Results: Mean age of the 1086 FSWs was 30 years. Only half of them were Beninese and two-thirdshad a primary school education level or less. Almost all FSWs had ever heard of HIV/AIDS. 79.1%had ever been tested, and 84.1% of the latter had been tested in the last year. In the previous sixmonths, 90.1% were exposed to prevention messages. Of those, over two thirds (72.8%) had seen a condom demonstration during the same period and 92% of the latter received free condoms in thelast three months. Women exposed to any HIV prevention message (last six months) reported a higherlevel of consistent condom use in the last month (69.0%) than those who were not (48.5%, p<0.0001).HIV prevalence was 7.7%. Among HIV-positive women, 60.6% knew their status; among those,90.5% were on ARV and 81.8% of the latter had a suppressed viral load.Conclusions: Despite long-standing HIV prevention programs for FSWs, the prevention indicators were often low, likely in relation to high FSW mobility, as half of them were migrants. Linkage to carewas good, viral suppression was sub-optimal, but knowledge of HIV-positive status was very low. Exposing women to prevention messages is necessary, as to increase HIV testing and improveadherence counselling towards FSWs on ARV.

Full textIn Benin, a high burden of HIV is observed in female sex workers (FSWs). Despite the importance given totesting services in HIV control, its uptake among FSWs remains suboptimal in Benin. HIV self-testing (HIVST) may be useful for increasing testing rates in FSWs. We conducted a pilot study of the distribution of HIVST kits among FSWs in Cotonou, Benin. The HIVST distribution model included three complementary strategies: community-based, facility-based and secondary distribution. In this qualitative study, we explored the elements influencing HIVST implementation, distributionand use among FSWs. We conducted 29 semi-structured individual interviews with professional FSWs. Datawere interpreted with a thematic analysis method, using the Theoretical Domains Framework.Only two FSWs (6.9%) were aware of HIVST before participating in the study. All participants were interested inusing HIVST if available in Benin. Many advantages of HIVST were mentioned, such as: autonomy, privacy,discretion, accessibility, rapidity and the fact that it is a painless test. Barriers to the use of HIVST included: the possible unreliability, the lack of psychological support and medical follow-up and the possibility of result dissimulation. Participants thought HIV self-tests were easy to use, and were confident they could use it correctly without assistance. HIVST enabled linkage to care for a few FSW in denial of their HIV-positive status. No case of suicide or violence associated with HIVST was reported. HIV self-tests secondary distribution within FSWs social network was well received. Some FSWs reported using HIVST to practice serosorting or to guide their decisions concerning condom use. Findings indicate that HIVST use and secondary distribution are highly acceptable and feasible among FSWs in Cotonou. Results also demonstrate the feasibility of implementing HIV self-tests distribution of in Benin. HIVST should be available in Benin quickly and free of charge to all individuals at risk of HIV.

Full textLes travailleuses du sexe (TS) restent fortement affectées par l’infection au VIH et jouent un rôle clé dans sa propagation dans la population générale. Cependant la couverture antirétrovirale chez ces dernières reste toujours faible en Afrique en générale, et de l’Ouest et du centre en particulier. En lien avec les recommandations de l’ONUSIDA qui étendent l’accès au traitement antirétroviral à toute personne séropositive indépendamment de son taux de CD4, nous avons lancé ce projet de démonstration du traitement précoce du VIH comme méthode de prévention afin d’évaluer l’acceptabilité, la faisabilité, et l’utilité d’ajouter cette stratégie au paquet actuel de traitement et de prévention chez les TS au Bénin. Tout en évaluant l’acceptabilité et la faisabilité, nous avons mis l’accent sur la réponse au traitement notamment l’adhérence et la suppression de la charge virale, la restauration des taux de CD4 et l’émergence de résistance au traitement. L’étude a inclus 107 TS qui ont été suivies entre 12 et 24 mois. À la fin du suivi, seules 64 sont restées dans l’étude, donnant un taux de rétention de 59,8%. La restauration des taux de CD4 au-delà de 500 cells/μl a été atteinte chez plus de 70% des participantes, tandis que la moyenne géométrique de la charge virale est passée de 12372 copies/ml au début de l’étude à 105,1 copies/ml (p<0,0001) à 12 mois; 95,1 copies/ml (p<0,0001) à 24 mois et à 187,3 copies/ml à l’ensemble des visites finales (p=0,003). De plus, la charge virale supprimée (<1000 copies/ml) ou indétectable (<40 copies/ml) était fortement associée à l’augmentation du niveau d’adhésion thérapeutique auto-rapportée (p de tendance =0,048 et 0,004 respectivement). Plusieurs participantes ont montré des génotypes de résistance au début de l’étude, cependant aucune de ces dernières ayanteu une visite finale n’a montré de résistance clinique lors de cette dernière visite. Compte tenu de la mobilité de ce groupe, des efforts sur la rétention et l’adhérence au traitement, et une collaboration régionale entre les cliniques ISTs dédiées aux TS pourraient faciliter l’implantation et l’impact positif du traitement précoce comme méthode de prévention dans la sous-région.
Female sex workers (FSW) remain highly affected by HIV and play a critical roleinits spread towards the general population, however, antiretroviral treatment coverage in this group still remains very low in west and central African countries. In line with the UNAIDS recommendations extending antiretroviral treatment to all HIV-infected individuals regardless their CD4 count, we carried out this demonstration project of early HIV treatment as prevention (TasP) aiming to assess the acceptability, feasibility, and utility of adding this strategy to the current prevention and treatment packageamong FSW in Cotonou, Benin. While assessing both acceptability and feasibility, we focused on treatment response including CD4 count restoration, adherence to treatment and viral suppression, and emergence of drug resistance. The study included 107 FSW who were followed between 12 and 24 months. At the end of the follow-up 64 remained in the study giving a retention rate of 59.8%. CD4 count recovery above 500 cells/μl was reached in more than 70% of participants. The geometric mean viral load decreased from 12372 copies/ml at baseline, to 105.1 copies/ml (<.0001) at 12 months; 95.1 copies/ml (p <.0001) at 24 months and 187.3 copies/ml at all final visits (p = 0.003). In addition, both suppressed (<1000 copies/ml) and undetectable (<40 copies/ml) viral loads were strongly associated with increasing levels of adherence to treatment (p for trend =0.048 and 0.004 respectively). Resistance mutations were detected in several participants at baseline, but none of those who had a final visit showed clinical resistance. Given the mobility in this group of population, efforts on retention and adherence to treatment, and regional collaboration between FSW-dedicated clinics could facilitate the implementation and positive impact of early treatment as prevention in this population.

Full textUnprotected sex (UPS) is a major risk factor for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and must be measured as validly as possible in HIV prevention studies. To date, the questionnaire is the most commonly used tool to assess sexual behaviours. However, self-report of sexual behaviours is subject to recall and desirability biases. The use of biomarkers of recent semen exposure might help to overcome these biases. Prostatespecific antigen (PSA) and Y chromosomal DNA (Yc-DNA) are the most characterized biomarkers of semen exposure. PSA and Yc-DNA can be detected up to two and 14 days following UPS. Over the course of an early antiretroviral therapy (E-ART) and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) demonstration study that was conducted among professional female sex workers (FSW) in Cotonou, Benin, under-reporting of UPS was expected, as well as a change in UPS in the PrEP group. Our objectives were thus to validate self-report of UPS by the means of PSA and Yc-DNA detection; to compare under-reporting of UPS over the last two and 14 days; and to assess trends in UPS in the PrEP group. We also aimed to compare the UPS detection capability of a novel screening test of Yc-DNA, a nested polymerase chain reaction targeting the testis-specific protein Y-encoded family of homologous genes (n-TSPY), to six other commonly used methods to detect recent semen exposure. At baseline of the E-ART/PrEP study and over a 24 months period of follow-up, UPS from the last two and 14 days were assessed every six months by questionnaire and by PSA and Yc-DNA screening. Under-reporting of UPS in the last two or 14 days was defined as reporting no UPS in the last two or 14 days while testing positive for PSA or Yc-DNA, respectively. A robust Poisson regression was used to compare under-reporting over the last two and 14 days. Trends in UPS as measured with the different tools were assessed by the means of a log-binomial regression. Generalized estimating equations (GEE) were used to account for dependence between observations. At baseline, we observed about 20% of under-reporting of UPS among FSW from Cotonou. However, we observed no statistically significant difference between under-reporting in the last two days and under-reporting in the last 14 days. Some of our results suggest that the relative performances of each biomarker to detect UPS over its corresponding recall period are not equal, which might have prevented us to detect a difference in under-reporting over the two recall periods. No trend in UPS was observed in the PrEP group. Finally, using n-TSPY as a reference test, each of six commonly used methods to detect recent semen exposure lacked sensitivity in the detection of RSNP. In conclusion, self-report of UPS is biased and must be cautiously interpreted. A better characterization of the clearance of PSA and Yc-DNA is required in order to better evaluate the potential effect of the recall period length on under-reporting of UPS. The absence of any evidence of a trend in UPS in the PrEP group might suggests that there was no risk compensation over the PrEP demonstration study and that PrEP might be a suitable HIV prevention method to use among FSW. Our trends in UPS analyses also pointed out the necessity to objectively assess UPS by the means of biomarkers and to correct for the potential selection bias when assessing trends in UPS over the course of a longitudinal study with high attrition. Finally, the n-TSPY might be of great utility to detect UPS in observational studies where many factors might accelerate the clearance of the biomarkers.

Full textSelon plusieurs, la stigmatisation constitue la principale difficulté vécue par les travailleuses du sexe (TDS). Considérant que les pratiques d’empowerment paraissent prometteuses pour surmonter les obstacles liés à la stigmatisation, les auteurs suggèrent de documenter les mécanismes associés à la réussite de ce type de pratiques auprès des TDS. Alors que les voix des TDS manquent dans les écrits, cette étude explore le point de vue des participantes et des alliées du Projet L.U.N.E., un groupe d’appartenance, de reconnaissance et de défense des droits « par et pour » des TDS. S’appuyant sur une démarche de théorisation ancrée, cette recherche qualitative et exploratoire documente les processus transformateurs par lesquels les pratiques d’empowerment permettent d’engendrer des retombées. En cohérence avec l’orientation pragmatique et interactionniste de la recherche, une attention est portée à « ce qui fonctionne » pour renverser la stigmatisation. À partir d’entretiens semi-dirigés menés auprès de 9 TDS et 5 alliées, cette étude identifie sept processus transformateurs: 1) Valoriser les TDS en redéfinissant leur image ; 2) Offrir un projet structurant qui permet de « faire de l’ordre dans sa vie » ; 3) Soutenir l’inclusion sociale des TDS en leur offrant un point d’ancrage ; 4) Favoriser la collectivisation en rassemblant les TDS; 5 ) Agir sur les rapports de pouvoir pour faciliter la participation ; 6) Intervenir pour améliorer les conditions de vie ; 7) Renforcer les connaissances et les compétences. Ce mémoire relève également quatre zones de tension inhérentes aux pratiques d’empowerment : l’ambivalence entre identification et distanciation par rapport au travail du sexe ; la conjugaison entre norme et marginalité, le passage du je au nous et le partage du pouvoir entre alliées et TDS. Tout en offrant une meilleure compréhension du processus d’empowerment, ce mémoire dégage des pistes pour améliorer l’intervention auprès des TDS.
According to some researchers, stigmatization is the main problem experienced by sex workers (SWs). Considering that empowerment practices seem promising for overcoming barriers related to stigmatization, the authors suggest documenting mechanisms associated with the success of this kind of practice among SWs. Although SWs’ voices are generally absent from the literature, this study explores the perspectives of the participants and allies of Projet L.U.N.E., a group set up to improve belonging, recognition and advocacy for and by SWs. Based on a grounded theory approach, this qualitative, exploratory study documents the transformative processes whereby empowerment practices create benefits. In accordance with the project’s pragmatic, interactive orientation, attention is focused on “what works” to overcome stigmatization. Based on semi-structured interviews with 9 SWs and 5 allies, this study identified seven transformative processes: (1) enhance SWs’ status by redefining their image ; (2) provide a structuring project that allows them to “get their lives on track” ; (3) support SWs’ social inclusion by giving them an anchor point ; (4) support collectivization by bringing SWs together ; (5) act on relationships of power to facilitate participation ; (6) act to improve living conditions ; and (7) upgrade knowledge and skills. This thesis also reveals four areas of tension inherent in empowerment practices: the ambivalence between identification and distancing in relation to sex work; the relationship between norms and marginality; the transition from “I” to “we”; and power sharing between allies and SWs. This thesis provides a better understanding of the empowerment process and also suggests ways to improve interventions with SWs.
