Abstract	We evaluated the impact on HIV-related risk of two models of a 100% condom use intervention among establishment-based female sex workers in the Dominican Republic. In Santo Domingo a solidarity-based “100% condom use” model was implemented. This was compared to a combined solidarity and government policy model implemented in Puerto Plata. Both models were evaluated using data from pre- and post- intervention crosssectional surveys participant observations and LCR testing for STIs among participating sex workers. Monthly cross-sectional data monitoring participating sex establishments’ compliance with the intervention was also collected over the course of the one-year intervention to support pre-post evaluation findings. Statistically significant improvements in all study outcomes were observed among female sex workers in Puerto Plata where the integrated solidarity and government policy intervention arm was implemented. For example among participating sex workers in Puerto Plata reported consistent condom use with all sexual partners in the last month increased from 44.0% to 66.0 (OR 2.46; CI 1.63-3.72); ability to reject unsafe commercial sex increased from 50.0% to 77.9% (OR 3.85; CI 1.79-8.29) and STI prevalence decreased from 28.8% to 16.3% (OR 2.08; CI 1.28-3.37). Environmental-structural interventions that combine institutional and community-based solidarity with government policy and regulation were effective in reducing HIV-related risk among female sex workers.
