Risk behaviours and health care needs of drug-using female prostitutes (part II)

Abstract

This paper is the second of two parts and focuses on the results of the study by Faugier (1996) in her investigation of the working practices, levels of HIV risk behaviour and use of health care services of 100 drug-using and 50 non-drug-using prostitutes in Manchester. It provides a full discussion on the implications of these findings and the challenges this poses for providers. Part I was published in Journal of Substance Misuse Vol. 2 No. 3, pp. 144–149.
