Literature has documented the association between psychological wellbeing and HIV risks, but such studies are limited for female sex workers (FSWs) worldwide. Data on this area are particularly scarce in China, where millions of FSWs play an important role in the escalating HIV epidemic.

Literature has documented the association between
psychological wellbeing and HIV risks, but such
studies are limited for female sex workers (FSWs)
worldwide. Data on this area are particularly
scarce in China, where millions of FSWs
play an important role in the escalating HIV
epidemic. This book has three aims:
first, to investigate the present knowledge on
behavioral studies of FSWs in China and identify the
literature gaps; second, to examine the risk factors
associated with FSWs suicidal ideation and
attempts; and third, to explore the relationship
between depressive symptoms and FSWs condom use
behaviors. The first study is based on a
systematic review of English literature regarding
FSWs in China. The second and third study draw data
from a community-based HIV/STD intervention study
with FSWs in Guangxi, China. The data reveal that
FSWs in China have poor psychological wellbeing with
high rates of suicidal behaviors and depression.
Their mental health problems are associated with HIV-
related sexual risks. Health education and promotion
efforts among FSWs in China need to take into
consideration their level of psychological distress.
