We also determined the association of brothel ban with these men’s reports of unprotected intercourse with sex workers. Methods In this serial cross-sectional study, we collected yearly behavioural data on random cross-sectional samples of heterosexual men buying sex who attended the only government health centre in Siem Reap for voluntary confidential counselling and testing (VCCT) between 2003 and 2012. We used multivariable Poisson regression analysis on the 10-year data of 976 men to obtain the adjusted prevalence ratio (aPR) of unprotected intercourse in the last 6 months by brothel closure. Results Men buying sex from non-brothel-based sex workers increased almost 3-fold from 17% in 2007–2008 before brothel closure to 55% in 2011–2012 after brothel closure (p
