AB Professional HIV risk taking (nonconsistent condom use with clients) of
female prostitutes in The Netherlands is addressed within the context of
(early) experiences with abuse, well-being, coping behavior, job
satisfaction, and financial need. Data were gathered from 127 female
prostitutes on condom use, financial need, and professional attitude,
and on experiences with violence and abuse, physical complaints,
psychosocial problems, and coping responses. Violent traumatic
experiences were found to relate to more severe complaints and problems,
and a higher frequency of emotion-focused coping strategies. A
risk-taking protection style (as opposed to consistent condom use and
selective risk taking) appeared to be associated with more severe
experiences with violence, both in childhood and in adult life, with
more frequent dissociation as a coping behavior, and with more
psychosomatic complaints. Of all the relationships found, more severe
experiences with violence on the job were most strongly related to a
higher professional HIV risk.
