ABSTRACT
This research explored the sociodemographic characteristics, the health perceptions and the distinctive aspects of the sexual work of a group of women sexual workers (n = 311). The study interest was generating data relative to the use of injectable drugs, the prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases (STD), the prevalence of HIV and the risk behaviors of this population group. A remarkable characteristic of the group of women studied was their history of pregnancies at and early age. A high proportion of illness apparently related to the presence of sexually transmitted diseases and limited health care was observed
