    Who's that SMARTgirl? Reaching Cambodian female entertainment and sex workers with HIV prevention services

    In Cambodia, SMARTgirl is the national social marketing program for HIV prevention for women engaged in sex and entertainment work. The authors used the Behavioral Model of Vulnerable Populations to analyze women’s level of engagement with SMARTgirl programs. The data showed high risk behaviors with a decreased association with SMARTgirl. The authors suggest that delivery of HIV prevention services through the SMARTgirl program is needed to reach this population.

    Cluster randomized stepped-wedge trial of a multi-level HIV prevention intervention to decrease amphetamine-type stimulants and sexual risk in Cambodian female entertainment and sex workers

    The authors examined the impact of combined interventions in Cambodian female entertainment and sex workers. The research indicates that the sequentially delivered interventions of a conditional cash transfer, a cognitive-behavioral education session and a small loan help Cambodian female sex workers reduce their risk of HIV infection, stop using drugs and improve their economic status. Feasibility studies are needed to inform the scale-up and improve durability of this comprehensive approach.

    Proportion and predictors of loss to follow-up in a longitudinal cohort study of female entertainment and sex workers in Cambodia

    The study estimated the proportion of loss to follow-up among female entertainment and sex workers in an HIV prevention intervention trial in Cambodia. The authors found that women with no living children and those who recently experienced food insecurity are more likely to be lost to follow-up. Women who were members of a prevention program for more than six months were more likely to stay in the study. This suggests that stabilizing women's lives, including reducing food insecurity and creating communities of engagement for this population, will help them adhere to a study or intervention.

    Using risk-tracing snowball approach to increase HIV case detection among high-risk populations in Cambodia: An intervention study

    This study evaluated the effectiveness of risk-tracing snowball approach (RTSA), versus the walk-in testing approach, in increasing the rate of newly identified HIV cases among high-risk populations. The authors found that the RTSA approach identified fewer new HIV cases than the walk-in group. The results did show that the RTSA group had higher mean CD4 counts and may reveal that this approach can detect HIV cases earlier than the walk-in approach. Further research is needed to understand the cost-effectiveness of this intervention.

    HIV treatment cascade among female entertainment and sex workers in Cambodia: Impact of amphetamine use and an HIV prevention program

    This study examines the continuum-of-care outcomes among HIV-positive, female, entertainment sex workers in Cambodia. While most women were successfully linked to HIV care, the authors found that retention and viral suppression were low. The authors suggest that tailored existing HIV/AIDS prevention programs that target the broader population of HIV-positive, female, entertainment sex workers, as well as interventions to reduce amphetamine-type stimulant use, could optimize the health benefits of HIV treatment.

    HIV prevalence and factors associated with HIV infection among transgender women in Cambodia: Results from a national Integrated Biological and Behavioral Survey

    This study was the second national biological and behavioral survey among transgender women in Cambodia. The authors found that HIV prevalence among transgender women remains persistently high. To achieve the goal of eliminating HIV, they suggest that effective combination prevention strategies addressing the risk factors among transgender women be strengthened.
