Predictors of High Risk Sexual Behavior Among Female Domestic Workers

HIV is to a large extent an occupational disease with a few key populations bearing the greatest burden. Most affected include domestic workers and long distance track drivers. The UNAIDS, WHO and ILO have continually pointed out the need to tame the HIV epidemic by targeting these key populations, besides the sex workers, men having sex with men and injecting drug users. Little is however known of the factors driving HIV infections and limiting access to treatment among domestic workers, especially females. The author of this book provides well researched evidence to inform policy among public health practitioners and labour rights activists.
