Summary:Although sex workers are considered a key population in the HIV epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), less consideration has been given to female bar workers (FBW), whose primary occupation is not sex work but who often engage in transactional sex.

This systematic review describes the socio-demographic characteristics and risk factors for HIV transmission among FBWs in SSA.
