China's 30-year economic boom has created a unique social and economic market for commercial sex, as well as for a workforce of migrant women from rural China. This qualitative study explores the impact of the rapidly changing social and economic environment on migration patterns, sexually transmitted infection (STI) knowledge, STI risk behaviours, and health beliefs among female streetwalkers in Shanghai. Qualitative data were collected in 2010 through semi-structured in-depth interviews with 16 streetwalkers to characterise their migration passages, sexual health and behaviours, and peer networks. Many streetwalkers reported histories of childhood impoverishment, of family or partner violence or trauma, of migration consistent with the timeline and routes of economic development, and of a scarcity in health, social, or economic support. Their knowledge of the prevention and treatment of HIV and STIs was limited. They had little bargaining power on condom use, and the majority resorted to vaginal douching and self-management with antibiotics as preventative measures. The study identifies streetwalkers’ perspectives on the changing environment, their options and actions, and finally HIV/STI risks that were unique to this hidden population.
