We conducted this study using key informant and focus group interviews in bars and streets in Mozambique. The interviewed sex workers were aware about the risks and protection against sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and they consistently used condoms. Most suffered from harmful behavior, including violence and assault by both customers and other commercial sex workers. We found that sex workers' own skills and knowledge acquired through experience potentially could be developed into life skills that could save and protect their lives., Health Care for Women International, 32(3), pp.243-260; 2011}, pages = {243--260}, title = {Reduction of health-related risks among female commercial sex workers: learning from their life and working experiences.}, volume = {32}, year = {2011} }
