Declarations
:
: Ethical clearance and participant consent were secured for the survey. The Institutional Ethics Committee (CIE-INS) and the National Bioethics Committee for Health in Mozambique (CNBS) provided ethical approval, ensuring compliance with ethical standards. Participants provided written informed consent. Specifically, special ethical approval to include FSW 15–17 was provided, who were classified as financially independent and living independently from their parents. Personal identifiers were not collected from participants, except for their consent form signatures, which were safely stored. The study did not involve individuals under the age of 15 for FSWs and under the age of 18 MSM, nor did it include illiterate participants. The Mozambique National Institute of Health granted the necessary administrative permissions to access the raw data for this analysis. This data was anonymized, containing no identifiable personal information.
