Abstract

Violence experience can increase HIV risk behaviors; however, literature is scarce on violence among male sex workers (MSWs) globally. In 2014, 210 Peruvian MSWs (median age 24.9) were interviewed about their experience of physical, emotional, and sexual violence and condom use with non-paying intimate partners and clients and were tested for HIV. Multivariable models examined relationships between violence in the past 6 months, condomless anal intercourse (CLAI) in the past 3 months and HIV infection. HIV infection (24 %), CLAI (43 %), being a violence victim (42 %) and perpetrator (39 %) were common. In separate multivariable models, being a violence victim [adjusted prevalence ratio aPR = 1.49 (95 % CI 1.09–2.03)] and perpetrator [aPR = 1.39 (1.03–1.87)] were associated with CLAI. Further, being a victim [aPR = 1.65 (1.04–2.62)] was associated with HIV infection. Violence, which was significantly associated with CLAI and HIV infection, is common among Peruvian MSWs, reinforcing the importance of violence awareness and prevention as HIV risk-reduction strategies.

Resumen

Experimentar violencia aumenta los comportamientos sexuales de riesgo; sin embargo, existe poca literatura sobre violencia entre trabajadores sexuales masculinos (TSM). En 2014, se realizaron entrevistas a 210 TSM peruanos (edad mediana 24,9) acerca de su experiencia con violencia física, emocional y sexual y el uso de preservativo con sus parejas íntimas y sus clientes. Además se les tomaron pruebas de VIH. Mediante modelos multivariables se examinaron las relaciones entre violencia en los últimos seis meses, sexo anal sin preservativo en los últimos tres meses, e infección por VIH. Fue común tener una infección por VIH (24 %), reportar sexo sin preservativo (43 %), y ser víctima (42 %) o perpetrador (39 %) de violencia. En modelos multivariables, el ser víctima (razón de prevalencia ajustada RPa = 1.49 (IC 95 %: 1.09-2.03)) y ser perpetrador (RPa = 1.39 (1.03-1.87)) de violencia estuvieron asociados con sexo sin preservativo. Ser víctima (RPa = 1.65 (1.04-2.62)) también estuvo asociado con infección por VIH. La violencia, que se asocia con sexo sin preservativo e infección con VIH, es común entre TSM peruanos, lo cual demuestra la importancia de la toma de consciencia y la prevención de violencia como estrategias para reducir el riesgo de VIH.
