The trafficking of women and girls for sexual exploitation is an internationally recognized form of gender-based violence, and is thought to confer unique sexual and reproductive health vulnerabilities. To date, little research has compared sexual risk or health outcomes among female sex workers (FSWs) based on experiences of sex trafficking. The current study sought to compare experiences of sexual risk and sexual and reproductive health outcomes among FSWs based on experiences of trafficking as an entry mechanism to FSW. Data from a national sample of FSWs in Thailand (n=815) to was used to assess a) the prevalence of sex trafficking as an entry mechanism into FSW, and b) associations of sex trafficking with sexual risk and health outcomes. Approximately 10% of FSWs met criteria for trafficking as an entry mechanism to sex work. Compared with their non-trafficked counterparts, sex trafficked FSWs were more likely to have experienced sexual violence at initiation to sex work (ARR 2.29, 95% CI 1.11, 4.72), recent workplace violence or mistreatment (ARR 1.38, 95% CI 1.13, 1.67), recent condom failure (ARR 1.80, 95% CI 1.15, 2.80), condom non-use (ARR 3.35, 95% CI 1.49, 7.52), and abortion (ARR 2.83, 95% CI 1.48, 5.39). Both the prevalence of sex trafficking as an entry mechanism to FSW, coupled with the threats to sexual and reproductive health observed based on trafficking status, demonstrate the need for comprehensive efforts to identify and support this vulnerable population. Moreover, existing STI/HIV prevention programming may be stymied by the limited condom use capacity, and high levels of violence observed among those trafficked into FSW.
