To assess the acceptability of pre-exposure prophylaxis (Pr-EP) among the female sex workers in Xinjiang. A volunteer-based, anonymous and one-to-one questionnaire survey was conducted in 762 female sex workers (FSW) in Urumqi and Kelamayi of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. Among 762 FSW surveyed, 673 (88.32%) was not aware of pre-exposure prophylaxis with an awareness rate of 11.55%. The awareness rate of FSWs working in high-end entertainment venues was higher than that of FSWs working in medium-low end entertainment venues(P<0.001). Five hundred and twenty eight FSWs (69.29%) were willing to take Pr-EP, 145 (19.03%) were unwilling to take the medicine and 89 (11.68%) were possible to use the Pr-EP. There was no significant difference in willingness of using Pr-EP among FSWs working in high and medium-low end entertainment venuew (P=0.285). The subjects who were willing to take Pr-EP mainly concerned of the drug security, effectiveness and cost. The main reasons for not willing to take Pr-EP were: not having risk of infecting HIV, suspecting effectiveness of Pr-EP and worrying about side effects. The acceptability to use Pr-EP in female sex workers of Xinjiang is relatively high and the drug security, effectiveness and cost will influence the promotion and application of Pr-EP in the future.
