Abstract：Objective To analyze the HIV/AIDS related knowledge and behavior, the infection of HIV and other diseases among female sex workers (FSWs) in different places in Emeishan City so as to provide a scientific basis for health education and behavior intervention. Methods Different sites were selected by proportional stratified random sampling, and then FSWs were selected by cluster sampling (for risk sites having 25 persons or less) or convenience sampling (for risk sites having more than 25 persons). Questionnaire surveys and serological testing were conducted among 1,745 FSWs, including 568 (32.6%), 984 (56.4%) and 193 (11.1%) respectively from high-, middle- and low-grade places. Results Most of the FSWs were unmarried adults aged 20-30 years (66.3%), adults with educational background of junior middle school (60.6%), and adults engaging in commercial sexual behavior for 1-6 months. The awareness rates of AIDS-related knowledge of FSWs in the high-, middle- and low-grade places were 75.2%, 79.0% and 67.9% respectively, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.01). The rates of condom using during commercial sexual behavior in FSWs from the high-grade places (59.5%), middle-grade places (65.5%) and low-grade places (59.1%) showed statistically significant differences (P<0.05). So were the prevalence of vein/intramuscular injection drug abuse (1.2%, 2.1% and 4.1%) and the positive rate of antibody against syphilis (4.8%,5.9% and 10.4%). Conclusions The awareness rates of AIDS-related knowledge and the rates of condom use in FSWs from different places in Emeishan Cityin 2009-2013 were all low. It is necessary to conduct targeted health education and behavioral intervention among FSWs from different places.
