ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and syphilis incidence rates as well as the retention rate in a cohort with 6-month follow-up study among female sex workers (FSWs).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From December, 2004, to January, 2005, a community-based baseline survey was conducted to recruit 343 FSWs for a prospective cohort study in Xichang county of Sichuan province, China. Follow-up visits were conducted at 6 months to analyze risk factors associated with cohort retention for subjects' baseline sociodemographic and sexual behavioral characteristics. Blood specimens were also collected to test antibodies against HIV and syphilis.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>During the 6-month follow-up period, HIV and syphilis incidence appeared to be 1.00 per 100 person-years and 6.23 per 100 person-years, respectively. The rate of retention in the cohort was 53.6% (184/343). Results from multivariate logistic regression model showed that factors were significantly associated with cohort retention including people with minority ethnic background (OR = 0.36; 95% CI 0.18-0.74), people having participated in AIDS prevention program (OR = 1.83; 95% CI 1.17-2.86) or being clients in the last 6 months > or = 50 (OR = 1.75; 95% CI 1.11-2.77) and having changed living/working place (OR = 0.56; 95% CI 0.33-0.94).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The results of this study showed that the syphilis incidence and unprotected sex behavior were high among local FSWs. People belonged to Han nationality, having participated in AIDS prevention program and having a steady living/working place were associated with cohort retention at 6-month follow-up study among FSWs, respectively.</p>
