Using Factor Analyses to Estimate the Number of Female Sex Workers across Malawi from Multiple Regional Sources.

Applying this approach to other sub-populations in Malawi and to countries where size estimate data are lacking can ultimately inform national modeling processes and estimate the distribution of risks and priorities for HIV prevention and treatment programs.
