St. Petersburg is actually a center of culture and education in Russia, a major tourist city using a population size of 5 million residents. The sex operate business in St. Petersburg is big, with about 10,000 FSWs operating in the city (Aral, et al., 2005). FSWs in St. Petersburg are mainly (approximately half) out there on the street and transportation routes connecting the city center with suburbs, these street sex workers largely come to sex perform because of injection drug use and operate on their own frequently on an as required basis for drugs or cash(Aral, et al., 2005). Other sex workers are venue-based, in brothels, massage parlors, saunas and hotels; these FSWs is often "ordered" at venue websites or by means of catalogues, newspapers or net web sites (Aral, et al., 2005) Numerous of those venue-based sex workers are managed by other people, though a modest proportion handle themselves (Aral, et al., 2005). In contrast, Orenburg is actually a city of roughly 600,000, bordering Kazakhstan and is an industrial location where gas and oil are mined and processed. Sex operate is an economic suggests of survival in this area where job possibilities for ladies are limited. Venue-based sex work is far more widespread in Orenburg, with FSWs largely operating inside the 3 city hotels, at "leisure agencies", and on get in touch with. Advertisements of sex work in this smaller sized setting take place through print advertising on columns, stops and fences along big roads, at the same time as via co-operation using the managers of bath-houses, saunas and taxi drivers. Self-management of FSWs is significantly less typical in Orenburg, even among street-based FSWs who, in Orenburg, normally function with pimps; injection drug use amongst FSWs can also be much less prevalent in Orenburg (USAID/Stellit, 2007). Use of these distinctly various cities gives important insight into how police sexual coercion operates in various contexts of sex work. Even so, each cities have an annual HIV incidence that exceeds the national typical(Pokrovsky, 2012), contributing to Russia becoming one of the few nations in the world exactly where the HIV epidemic is expanding (Pokrovsky, 2012; UNAIDS, 2011). Understanding the function of police sexual coercion of FSWs in these two cities can guide improvement of interventions for FSWs to minimize danger for HIV at the same time as other concerns.NIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author Manuscript Approach NIH-PA Author ManuscriptThis study involved cross-sectional quantitative information collected from FSWs (N=896) recruited from the Russian cities of St. Petersburg and Orenburg. Survey data have been collected from June 2007 to March 2008. This study was reviewed and approved by the ethical review board on the Sociological Institute from the Russian Academy of Sciences, Deviance and Social Manage Department. Sampling Procedures Sampling procedures had been created for every city with all the aim of reflecting structural options of sex operate, such as place an.
