The female condom could play an important role in reducing HIV infection among female sex workers and their clients in Central America. Acceptability studies have shown that Central American sex workers are amenable to using the female condom, but programs have not always successfully promoted long-term use. For example, promotional efforts by the Pan American Social Marketing Organization (PASMO) produced different results in different countries in the region: In Nicaragua in 2005, only 300 female condoms were distributed, and program staff reported acceptability to be low. In contrast, almost 12,000 were distributed in El Salvador from 2003 to 2005; once the supply of female condoms had been depleted, sex workers continued to ask when more would be available.
