Medical: Health Care / UNAIDS country report (Panama)
Spanish term or phrase: fijas
UNAIDS report breaking down commercial sex workers (CSW), a most-at-risk population for HIV/AIDS. I´m not sure what "fijas" refers to here and how to differentiate this from "ambulant" or "outpatient".

El término trabajadoras sexuales ambulantes se refiere a aquellas mujeres que son atendidas semanalmente en el denominado “Programa de Higiene Social” de las instalaciones del Ministerio de Salud. El seguimiento período de las mujeres incluye atención, revisión ginecológica, pruebas de ITS/VIH, atención integral en salud. La connotación para trabajadoras del sexo fijas se refiere a aquellas que no están inmersas en los Programas de Higiene antes mencionados.

Explanation:
Por lo que yo entiendo, si son ambulantes, trabajan en la calle y se les requiere hacerse esos exámenes. Lo opuesto sería que trabajan en un lugar fijo, y que no se les requieren los mismos exámenes que a las que trabajan en la calle.

Explanation:
I understand your confusion; the text dos not make sense. Normally you refer to the women that work in the brothel "regulars" or steady workers, and the ones that move around a lot or work in the street are hawkers, but in your text it looks like it is the opposite.
