In order to examine the sexual behaviour of a highly mobile social group, qualitative data and quantitative data were elicited from 212 private motorbike taxi-men, locally called bodabodamen, from two study sites in Masaka, Uganda. Selection criteria were availability and willingness to participate in the study. Research techniques employed were a questionnaire, focus group discussions, in-depth interviews and case studies. Findings indicate that bodabodamen are a highly mobile group who engage in frequent seasonal rural-urban migration. Consequent to this, bodabodamen have a wide network of both occasional and regular sexual partnerships. Both serial and concurrent multiple partnerships are with adults, youths, widows, students, sugar-mummies, barmaids, commercial sex workers, tailors. Exchange plays a significant role in sexual negotiations but the act of giving to a sexual partner is ambivalent in its social interpretation. Since bodabodamen have regular access to cash, they have higher bargaining power for sex. Implications for HIV/AIDS prevention are discussed.
为了研究一个高度流动的社会群体的性行为，本研究从乌干达马萨卡的两个研究点招募了 212 名私人摩托车出租车司机（当地称为 bodabodamen），收集了定性数据和定量数据。选择标准是参与者是否愿意参与研究。研究采用的技术包括问卷调查、焦点小组讨论、深入访谈和案例研究。研究结果表明，bodabodamen 是一个高度流动的群体，他们经常进行季节性的城乡迁移。因此，bodabodamen 拥有广泛的偶尔和固定的性伴侣网络。他们既有连续性的也有同时性的多重伴侣关系，对象包括成年人、年轻人、寡妇、学生、有钱的女人、酒吧女招待、性工作者、裁缝。在性谈判中，交换扮演着重要的角色，但给予性伴侣的行为在社会解释上是矛盾的。由于 bodabodamen 经常有现金收入，他们在性交易中拥有更高的议价能力。文章还讨论了 HIV/AIDS 预防的相关问题。
