Safer-sex information for women who have sex with women (WSW) is often very difficult to locate. Girl2girl.info is one of the only websites focussed on safer sex for WSW. The present article describes the predevelopment consultation and evaluation of girl2girl.info. A risk-reduction framework was used to develop the website.
Girl2girl.info was developed in 2004 using questionnaires and focus groups with 36 consumers who were WSW, largely based in Canberra, Australia. In 2006-2007 the site was evaluated using mixed methods of questionnaires with 74 WSW and interviews with 17 health professionals around Australia.
This research has identified some key attitudes toward safer sex of WSW participants, in particular a misperception that the majority of WSW are at low risk for sexually transmissible infections and a consistent aversion to using latex for safer sex.
The article concludes that the promotion of a risk-reduction approach - including non-latex-based safer-sex practices - for WSW is both a theoretically appropriate and engaging form of health promotion for WSW.
为与女性发生性行为的女性（WSW）提供的安全性行为信息往往很难找到。girl2girl.info是仅有的几个专注于为WSW提供安全性行为信息的网站之一。本文描述了girl2girl.info网站开发前的咨询和评估情况。该网站是依据一个降低风险框架开发的。
girl2girl.info网站于2004年通过对36名主要来自澳大利亚堪培拉的WSW消费者进行问卷调查和焦点小组讨论后开发而成。在2006 - 2007年期间，采用混合方法对该网站进行评估，其中包括对74名WSW进行问卷调查以及对澳大利亚各地17名健康专业人员进行访谈。
这项研究确定了WSW参与者对安全性行为的一些关键态度，特别是存在一种误解，即大多数WSW感染性传播感染的风险较低，并且始终厌恶使用乳胶制品来进行安全性行为。
本文得出结论，对于WSW而言，推广一种降低风险的方法——包括基于非乳胶制品的安全性行为做法——在理论上是合适的，并且是一种有吸引力的健康促进形式。
