AB  - OBJECTIVE: To analyze the prevalence rates and associated risk factors on HIV, 
      syphilis, herpes simplex virus-2 (HSV-2) among female sex workers (FSWs) in 
      Jiaozhou, Shandong province. METHODS: Through convenient sampling, an anonymous 
      questionnaire survey was conducted on female sex workers to collect related 
      information. Blood specimens were drawn for serological tests on HIV, syphilis 
      and HSV-2 antibodies, respectively. Patients with positive results from both 
      treponema pallidum and HSV-2 tested by ELISA method, were defined as being 
      superinfected. RESULTS: A total of 460 FSWs were recruited in this study. The 
      prevalence rates of HIV, syphilis, HSV-2, and syphilis/HSV-2 superinfection were 
      0.22% , 5.9% , 43.0% , and 11.7% , respectively. Among the methamphetamine users, 
      the prevalence rates of syphilis, HSV-2, and syphilis/HSV-2 superinfection were 
      12.4%, 55.2%, and 22.9%, respectively. Results from multivariate analysis showed 
      that factors that significantly associated with syphilis infection would include: 
      methamphetamine use (OR = 3.61, 95% CI:1.62-8.06), having first commercial sex 
      intercourse at under 20 years of age (OR = 2.80, 95% CI:1.15-6.85), more than 2 
      establishments that the FSWs worked in the last month (OR = 4.37, 
      95%CI:0.83-22.83). Factors associated with HSV-2 infection were methamphetamine 
      use (OR = 2.30, 95%CI:1.43-3.70), having first commercial sex intercourse at 
      under 20 years of age (OR = 1.77, 95% CI:1.16-2.69), working at low-end 
      establishments (OR = 2.61, 95%CI:1.66-4.10), working at the local sex-work venues 
      for more than one year (OR = 2.01, 95% CI:1.28-3.14), with low education 
      backgrounds (OR = 2.27, 95% CI:1.18-4.36), using methamphetamine (OR = 3.95, 95% 
      CI:2.09-7.44), low education background (OR = 2.43, 95% CI: 1.10-5.36), 21-30 
      year-olds (OR = 2.95, 95%CI:1.08-8.03), older than 31 years of age (OR = 7.05, 
      95% CI:2.48-20.01) etc., were independent risk factors associated with the 
      superinfection of syphilis and HSV-2. CONCLUSION: The prevalence rates of 
      syphilis, HSV-2 and syphilis/HSV-2 superinfection were relatively high among FSWs 
      in Jiaozhou, especially among the FSWs who were methamphetamine users.
