Sex Workers’ Attitudes towards Door-to-door Condom Sales In the qualitative supplementary investigation, sex workers were asked about the acceptability of door-to-door condom sales. Although most said they would accept door-to-door condom sales, they cared about price and quality. The sex workers said they tended to buy large quantities of condoms after comparison and use. The sex workers suggested that the condom salesmen should start with the gatekeepers in their sex work establishments. Some sex workers would follow gatekeepers’ suggestion in order to please them. They accepted the door-to-door method mainly for convenience and avoidance of embarrassment when buying condoms in drugstores. Some considered it a shameful thing to buy condoms in drugstores, and door-to-door sales would help them avoid such discomfort. However, some sex workers were more likely to reject door-to-door condom sales for fear of economic damage incurred from large purchase of condom with an unfamiliar brand or poor quality. Descriptions of acceptance of the door-to-door method included: “I feel ashamed to buy condom in shops sometimes.” “I feel ashamed to buy condom nearby, but better if someone sells door-to-door.” Descriptions of non-acceptance of the door-to-door method: “We doubt its quality.” “We are afraid of losses from buying fake goods.” Sexual workers report 24
