2018, Drug and Alcohol DependenceCitation Excerpt :The authors did not find any differences in the frequency of sex work between males and females, and no information was collected about SSTIs. Over twenty years ago, researchers in Amsterdam examined risks for abscesses in over 700 PWID and found that females who engaged in sex work had higher incidence rates of skin abscesses compared to females who did not engage in sex work (Spijkerman et al., 1996). The potential interaction of gender and sex work was not analyzed in this study, and one-third of the participants had HIV and given limited treatment options during that era, it is likely that these participants were immunocompromised and at increased risk for infections.
