Percentages within boxes refer to the total sample (N=256), while percentages along the connecting lines refer to the sample size in the preceding box. *Includes women who formed long-term partnerships with someone other than their first sexual partner; partnership status at start of sex-work was not further divided among women who did not form long-term partnerships with their first-sexual partner because of small sample size. The mean duration of each trajectory is shown in years with the standard deviation (SD).
