Behavioural Surveillance Survey in Timor-Leste, 2008: First Round Results For Female Sex Workers (FSW)

In 2008 a behavioural surveillance survey of female sex workers in Dili was conducted by the University of New South Wales, Australia. The survey was conducted on behalf of the Timor-Leste Ministry of Health as part of the national HIV program, which is funded by the Global Fund Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. It collected data on sexual and drug-using practices; levels of knowledge about sexually transmissible infections (STIs) and HIV; access to medical services, attitudes towards people with HIV; and demographics.
