Introduction : sex worker’s community-based HIV service delivery models currently implemented include: a) daily static facility services which are located in hotspot areas where sex workers can easily access services without incurring transport costs; sex workers seek services without making prior appointment anytime between 9am-10am; b) outreaches - bars, clubs, brothels & homes. Peer to peer mechanisms which involves selection of sex workers, training and equipping them with HIV skills encourages uptake of HCT, HIV care, condoms and linkage into care. However, since inception of these HIV service community based model no evaluation has been done to know the most efficient model used to reach sex workers. This evaluation aimed at assessing the effectiveness of these models and identifying challenges in the implementation of these models.
