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.
