Declarations
:
: We obtained verbal informed consent from all participants to participate in the survey. The use of verbal informed consent was approved because written consent would be the only identifiable information collected and could pose a risk to participants. A waiver to obtain informed consent from parents or guardians of participants under the age of 18 was granted as the risks of participation were minimal and outweighed by the potential risks of disclosure of sex work to parents or guardians. Additionally, many participants are considered emancipated minors as they no longer live with family members. This survey was approved by the ethical review boards of Makerere University School of Public Health and the Uganda National Council of Science and Technology, as well as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as a research activity involving human subjects. No personal identifiers were collected. All methods were performed in accordance with the relevant guidelines and regulations.
: We have no competing interests to report.
