Commercial sex workers (CSWs) in the Russian Federation are at high risk of HIV
infection and transmission as a result of unsafe sexual and injecting behaviors.
Their clients might be at increased risk of acquiring HIV; however, little is
known about the population of men purchasing sex services. This study aims to
investigate factors associated with a history of purchasing sex services by men
in Saint Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, Russian Federation. Data were collected
as part of a cross-sectional study offering free anonymous rapid HIV testing in
Saint Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast in 2014; in total, 3565 men aged 18 years
and older provided information about their behaviors associated with risk of
acquiring HIV during face-to-face interviews. Prevalence of CSW use in our study
was 23.9%. Multivariable analyses using log-binomial regression were stratified
by self-reported HIV testing during the 12 months preceding the study interview.
In both strata, older age, multiple sex partners, and a history of sex with an
injection drug user (IDU) were associated with an elevated prevalence ratio (PR)
for history of purchasing sex services, although the strength of the association
differed by strata. Among men who reported recent HIV testing, condom use
(PR?=?1.22, 90% confidence interval (CI) 1.0, 1.48) was associated with a history
of purchasing sex services, and among men who did not report recent HIV testing,
having a consistent sex partner was associated with purchasing sex services
(PR?=?1.23, 90% CI 1.1, 1.37). The high prevalence of CSW service use and
associations found in this study raise serious concerns about potential for
sexual HIV transmission and should be investigated more closely.
