Abstract: The objectives of this paper are to explore issues relating to the quality of care received in reproductive health service, especially cervical cancer screening from perspective of Vietnamese female sex workers (FSWs) in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC). From the findings, we make recommendations to improve the quality of reproductive health care service. This is a qualitative study using observation and in-depth interview with 15 female sex workers aged 18-44 years. The research findings indicate that physician-client relationship, gender of doctor, information, privacy and technique competency are elements influencing their decision on cervical cancer screening.
