Sumario:Women who exchange sex are at an increased risk of violence from both clients and nonpaying intimate partners. This study utilizes data from the 2016 New York City National HIV Behavioral Surveillance Study cycle focused on high-risk women to examine factors associated with experiencing client-perpetrated violence (CPV). Women who exchanged sex for money or drugs (n = 330) were recruited via respondent-driven sampling. Adjusted log-linked Poisson regression was used to analyze individual, environmental, and early-life factors associated with experiencing CPV in the past 12 months. Compared with women who did not experience CPV, women who experienced CPV were more likely to have a household income of <$10,000 (adjusted prevalence ratio [aPR]: 2.15; 95% confidence interval [CI]: [1.29, 3.57]), have a same-sex partnership (aPR: 2.31; 95% CI: [1.23, 4.33]), have > 2 male exchange sex partners (aPR: 2.76; 95% CI: [1.28, 5.99]), find clients on the street (aPR: 2.10; 95% CI: [1.05, 3.99]), have been refused help from or avoided the police due to exchange sex (aPR: 1.88; 95% CI: [1.06, 3.32]) and to have experienced sexual violence as a minor (aPR: 2.16; 95% CI: [1.29, 3.30]). Multilevel approaches to violence prevention among women who exchange sex, particularly those who find clients on the street, should be considered.
