Madagascar (2014): TRaC Survey measuring Consistent condom use, STI treatment seeking and HIV Counselling and Testing among Female Sex Workers in Urban areas of Madagascar

The prevalence of HIV/AIDS remains low in Madagascar among the general population (UNAIDS) but many risk factors exist that contribute to the potential risk of an epidemic spreading into the general population. Resulted from these risk factors, HIV/AIDS & STI Prevention targets female sex workers (FSW) with a focus on target urban areas. TRaC Female Sex Workers surveys are used to collect cross sectional data in order to provide actionable evidence decision making as well as helping to measure the impact of various project interventions and activities. TRaC FSW survey aims i) to monitor over time, the levels and trends in key behaviors (condom use among FSWs, STI treatment seeking and HIV counseling and Testing) and behavioral factors ii) to determine the factors associated with condom use among FSWs, with STI treatment seeking and with HIV counseling and Testing and iii) to assess the impact of HIV/AIDS prevention intervention among FSWs
