  • Longitudinal assessment of changes in hair cortisol levels and associations with violence, poor mental health and harmful substance use among female sex workers in Nairobi, Kenya

    Open AccessMamtuti Panneh, Tara Beattie et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Female sex workers (FSWs) in sub-Saharan Africa commonly experience violence, mental health problems, and harmful substance use. Stressful life events can harm the functioning of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, serving as a pathway to increased poor health, including HIV susceptibility through cortisol levels. In this paper, we examine changes in hair cortisol concentration (HCC) levels and associations with experiences of violence…

  • Experiences and self-care efforts among female sex workers in Nairobi, Kenya, during Covid-19

    Open AccessEmily Nyariki, Mamtuti Panneh et al.ARTICLESocial Sciences & Humanities Open2025

    Although the COVID-19 measures were aimed at the public good, they resulted in massive economic disruptions. We explored female sex workers’ (FSWs) experiences and self-care efforts following the deployment of COVID-19 containment measures in Nairobi, Kenya. Forty-seven women drawn from 1003 FSWs enrolled in the Maisha Fiti Longitudinal Mixed-Methods Study participated. An in-depth interview tool was used to capture FSW’ experiences and coping st…

  • Forced vaginal sex and genital immune correlates of HIV risk

    Open AccessJames Pollock, Mary Kungu et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    BACKGROUND: The likelihood of HIV acquisition is increased following forced vaginal sex. This relates in part to epidemiological and behavioural factors; however, the biological effects of forced vaginal sex, including impacts on immune parameters linked to HIV susceptibility, are poorly understood. Here, we examine biological mediators of HIV susceptibility among female sex workers (FSWs) in Nairobi, Kenya, who recently experienced forced vagina…

  • Are violence, harmful alcohol/substance use and poor mental health associated with increased genital inflammation

    Open AccessTara Beattie, James Pollock et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Violence, alcohol use, substance use and poor mental health have been linked with increased HIV acquisition risk, and genital inflammation enhances HIV susceptibility. We examined whether past 6 month experience of these exposures was associated with increased genital inflammation, thereby providing a biological link between these exposures and HIV acquisition risk. The Maisha Fiti study was a longitudinal mixed-methods study of female sex worker…

  • Surviving pandemic control measures

    Open AccessHellen Babu, Rhoda Kabuti et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2023

    At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Kenya Ministry of Health instituted movement cessation measures and limits on face-to-face meetings. We explore the ways in which female sex workers (FSWs) in Nairobi were affected by the COVID-19 control measures and the ways they coped with the hardships. Forty-seven women were randomly sampled from the Maisha Fiti study, a longitudinal study of 1003 FSWs accessing sexual reproductive health servic…

  • Mental health challenges and perceived risks among female sex workers in Nairobi, Kenya

    Open AccessMamtuti Panneh, Mitzy Gafos et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    There is a need for both micro- and macro interventions to address poverty and violence against FSWs in Kenya, thereby reducing mental health problems. Addressing violence against women and girls may also reduce entry into sex work. Improving mental health literacy and providing mental health intervention services for 'at-risk' populations such as FSWs should enhance coping strategies and help-seeking efficacy
