  abstract = {{F}emale sex workers ({FSW}) in mining sites are considered to be at very high risk of {HIV} infection. {W}e aimed to characterize {FSW} at the {K}?k?y? artisanal gold mining site in {M}ali, and identify factors associated with sex work using data from {ANRS}-12339 {S}anu {G}undo, a cross-sectional survey conducted in 2015 at the mine by {ARCAD}-{SIDA}, a {M}alian non-governmental organisation. {P}eople attending {HIV}-prevention activities were invited to participate in the quantitative and qualitative parts of the survey. {A} probit logistic regression was used for data analysis. {O}f 101 women who participated in the survey, 26.7% reported sex work as their main activity. {M}ultivariate analysis showed that the probability of sex work as a main activity decreased by 1% per 1-year age increase (p = 0.020). {S}ex work was significantly more likely to be reported by single, divorced and widowed women (25.4% probability; p = 0.007). {FSW} were significantly more likely to be non-{M}alian (36.3% probability; p = 0.003), more likely to have a secondary activity (77% probability; p = 0.002), to work fewer than 56h/week (40.2% probability; p = 0.001) and to be in good health (12.1% probability; p = 0.016). {I}n addition, being aware of the existence of sexually transmitted infection, using psychoactive substances, and having unprotected receptive anal sex during the previous six months were significantly associated with sex work (50.2%; p = 0.006; 45.6%, p = 0.003; and 7.4%, p = 0.016 probability, respectively). {Q}ualitative findings confirm that poverty and boyfriends? refusal to use condoms remain key barriers to systematic condom use among {FSW}.},
