Samples from 127 women, obtained between March and June 2019, were analyzed as part of an early study. These women voluntarily agreed to participate and attended the Centro de Detencin Preventiva de Arica y Parinacota (CDPA Health Center) after signing an informed consent. Each detainee was interviewed through a survey that focused on the study's objectives, collecting data on age, risk behaviors related to acquiring sexually transmitted infections (orientation, sexuality, drug use, age of first sexual relations), and other variables associated with their prison stay, as reported in Brquez et al., 2021.
