However, it has become apparent that further progress is contingent on a better understanding of FSWs\u2019 sexual risks in the context of their relationships with non-paying partners. In this paper, we explored the association between FSWs\u2019 non-paying partner status, including cohabitation and HIV risk behaviors, program exposure and utilization of program services.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>We used data from the cross-sectional Integrated Behavioral and Biological Assessment (IBBA) survey (2009\u20132010) conducted among 8,107 FSWs in three high priority states of India- Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. Multiple logistic regression was used to examine the association between non-paying partner and cohabitation status of FSWs with HIV risk behaviors, program exposure and utilization of program services.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>FSWs reporting a non-paying partner were more likely to be exposed to and utilize HIV prevention resources than those who did not have a non-paying partner. Analyses revealed that FSWs reporting a non-cohabiting non-paying partner were more likely to be exposed to HIV prevention programs (adjusted OR: 1.7, 95% CI: 1.3 \u2013 2.1), attend meetings (adjusted OR: 1.5, 95% CI: 1.2 \u2013 1.8), and visit a sexually transmitted infections clinic at least twice in the last six months (adjusted OR: 1.6, 95% CI: 1.3 \u2013 1.9) as compared to those reporting no non-paying partner. That said, FSWs with a non-paying partner rarely used condoms consistently and were more vulnerable to HIV infection because of being street-based (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and in debt (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>FSWs with cohabiting partners were more likely to be exposed to HIV prevention program and utilize services, suggesting that this program was successful in reaching vulnerable groups. However, this subgroup was unlikely to use condoms consistently with their non-paying partners and was more vulnerable, being street based and in debt. The next generation of HIV prevention interventions in India should focus on addressing relationship factors like risk communication and condom negotiation, including specific vulnerabilities like indebtedness and street based solicitation among women in sex work.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2458-14-248","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,3,13]],"date-time":"2014-03-13T08:02:53Z","timestamp":1394697773000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Non-paying partnerships and its association with HIV risk behavior, program exposure and service utilization among female sex workers in India"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Sandra Mary","family":"Travasso","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bidhubhusan","family":"Mahapatra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Niranjan","family":"Saggurti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Suneeta","family":"Krishnan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,3,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"7503_CR1","volume-title":"NACO Annual Report 2010\u20132011","author":"National AIDS Control Organisation","year":"2011","unstructured":"National AIDS Control Organisation: NACO Annual Report 2010\u20132011. 2011, New- Delhi, India: Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India"},{"issue":"6","key":"7503_CR2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"S10","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2458-11-S6-S10","volume":"11","author":"A Gurung","year":"2011","unstructured":"Gurung A, Narayanan P, Prabhakar P, Das A, Ranebennur V, Tucker S, Narayana L, Radha R, Prakash K, Touthang J, Sono CZ, Wi T, Morineau G, Neilsen G: Large-scale STI services in Avahan improve utilization and treatment seeking behaviour amongst high-risk groups in India: an analysis of clinical records from six states.
