Results suggest that transactional sex is fairly common among rural Appalachian women who use drugs and are justice-involved and may signal other HIV-related risk behaviors. Given limited service availability throughout rural Appalachia, findings emphasize a need for increased access to risk-reduction interventions, including jail-based interventions, to educate vulnerable, hard-to-reach populations on the risks associated with HIV.
