The objectives of this paper were to identify the types of sexual partners and condom use of migrant workers. Data for the study were drawn from a survey of 3,426 migrant workers in southern coastal and northern areas of Thailand conducted in 2004. Among sexually active men, 25% reported visiting a sex worker, 57% reported a regular partner, and 6% reported another non-regular partner in the last year. Reported condom use was high with sex workers (79% reported always use), but low with regular partners (4% ever use). Factors related to visiting sex workers included marital status (more visits if not married), longer residence in Thailand, occupation of seafarer or seafood production worker, Cambodian origin, and perceived AIDS risk. Condom use with sex workers was higher for younger men, married men, men who had been in Thailand longer, men with lower perceived AIDS risk, and men who drank alcohol less frequently.
本文的目的是确定农民工的性伴侣类型及避孕套使用情况。该研究的数据来自于2004年对泰国南部沿海和北部地区3426名农民工进行的一项调查。在性活跃的男性中,25%报告称去年曾光顾性工作者,57%报告有固定性伴侣,6%报告有其他非固定性伴侣。与性工作者发生性行为时避孕套的使用率较高(79%报告总是使用),但与固定性伴侣发生性行为时使用率较低(4%曾使用)。与光顾性工作者相关的因素包括婚姻状况(未婚者光顾次数更多)、在泰国居住时间更长、从事海员或海产品生产工人职业、柬埔寨裔以及感知到的艾滋病风险。年轻男性、已婚男性、在泰国居住时间更长的男性、感知到的艾滋病风险较低的男性以及饮酒频率较低的男性与性工作者发生性行为时避孕套的使用率更高。
