Among survey participants, 9.8% (39/400) in Maputo, 17.0% (70/411) in Beira and 25.6% (110/429) in Nampula were underage.
- Over half reported performing sex work to afford daily living,
- and 29.7-50.0% had unprotected sex with their last client.
The proportion of underage FSW having accessed care and prevention services was lower compared to adult FSW. While HIV prevalence among underage FSW was lower than in adults, it increased markedly with age.
Our results point to the urgency of expanding prevention and care programs geared towards underage FSW.
