Intervention Trials

Background. Suitable populations to sustain continued evaluation of HIV and sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevention interventions are required. We sought to determine whether fishermen are a suitable population for HIV intervention trials.Methods. In a cross-sectional descriptive survey, we selected 250 fishermen from proportional to size sampled boats. We collected socioeconomic and behavioral information, and specimens for HIV, herpes simplex virus (HSV-2), syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia and human papillomavirus (HPV) tests from consenting participants.Results. One third of the fishermen had concurrent sexual partnerships and two thirds were involved in transactional sex. About 70% were involved in extramarital sex with only one quarter using condoms in their three most recent sexual encounters. HIV prevalence was 26% and HSV-2 and HPV was 57%. Over 98% were willing to participate in a future HIV prevention clinical trial.Conclusion. Fishermen are a high-risk group for HIV/STI infections that may be suitable for HIV prevention trials. A cohort study would be useful to measure the incidence of HIV/STIs to ultimately determine the feasibility of enrolling this population in an HIV/STI prevention clinical trial.

Background: Globally about 210 million women conceive annually and 38% of these pregnancies are unintended. Female sex workers (FSWs) are at increased risk of both unintended pregnancy and acquiring HIV, which could lead to adverse sexual and reproductive health (SRH) outcomes. We sought to assess contraceptive use or non-use, preferences and determinants among a cohort of FSWs screened for an HIV prevention clinical trial in Kisumu, Kenya. Methods: A cross sectional study of healthy FSWs referred for possible recruitment into the Antibody Mediated HIV Prevention (AMP) Study was conducted between December 2016 and September 2018. Potentially eligible participants were screened for HIV and data on social-demographic, contraceptive use and other SRH characteristics were collected. Those not on a method recorded their contraceptive preferences.   Results: Data on 210 FSWs with a median age of 24.5 years (interquartile range, IQR 22-26) are presented. Of these, 187 (89.1%) had two children or fewer; only 56 (26.7%) had completed secondary or higher education. At the time of the interview, 18 (8.6%) were HIV-infected and 181 (86.2%) were using a modern contraceptive. Implants (48.6%) and depot injections (37.6%) were the most commonly used methods. Most (41.4%) of those not on family planning preferred oral pills. Respondents who had two or more children were three times more likely than their primiparous and nulliparous counterparts to report use of a contraceptive. Use of modern contraception methods did not differ by respondent’s ownership of a medical insurance cover or other occupation. Conclusion: There is high use of modern contraception among FSWs in Kisumu with the majority using subdermal implants. Reproductive health programs should implement targeted SRH interventions for specific populations and risk groups. Effective contraceptive counselling and interventions among FSWs should consider the client’s parity and level of education.
