Abstract | Despite high rates of human immunodeficiency virus/sexually transmitted infection (HIV/STI) among commercial sex workers and international concern that male clients may constitute a critical bridge population for HIV/STI transmission, little empirical data exist within the United States to characterize men who purchase sex or to assess their sexual risk and HIV/STI infection. |
