Abstract

The article examines the risks of clients occupied important sociometric positions in sexual networks of commercial sex workers and estimates whether they were more likely to be human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and sexually transmitted infections (STI) infected. As part of the experimental design, the researchers used proxy data on clients collected from a cross-sectional survey of 49 indoor female sex workers. Based on the results, two types of clients were categorized as high risk, including those who created sexual bridges between sex establishments and those who had sex with most female sex workers (FSW) at an establishment.
