The paper examines the context of women's risk for HIV by assessing men's and women's sexual behaviour, attitudes towards sex work, and perception of risk for HIV in the city of Chiang Mai, Thailand. The findings are based on data collected in the mid-1990s, at the height of the epidemic. A range of significant issues were highlighted by the men and women who participated in this study. First, some men continued to have unsafe sex with sex workers. Second, fear of HIV motivated men to seek out friends and acquaintances instead of sex workers for sexual encounters because they were considered 'safe' from infection. Third, women in this study were largely unaware of this expansion of the sexual network beyond the sex work itself. Lastly, women's sexuality was largely unrecognized in public health responses, or by the male and female participants, leaving them at risk for HIV.
该论文通过评估泰国清迈市男性和女性的性行为、对性工作的态度以及对感染艾滋病毒风险的认知，来研究女性感染艾滋病毒的风险背景。研究结果基于20世纪90年代中期疫情高峰期收集的数据。参与本研究的男性和女性突出了一系列重大问题。首先，一些男性继续与性工作者进行不安全的性行为。其次，对艾滋病毒的恐惧促使男性寻找朋友和熟人而不是性工作者进行性接触，因为他们被认为“不会”感染。第三，本研究中的女性基本上没有意识到性网络已扩展到性工作本身之外。最后，在公共卫生应对措施中，或者在男性和女性参与者中，女性的性行为基本上未得到认可，这使她们面临感染艾滋病毒的风险。
