This article examines the social patterning of health, economic uncertainty, hegemonic masculinity, and vulnerability among men who live and work in a low-income sex work community in Kampala, Uganda. This problematises the notion that vulnerable communities are homogenous, in demographics, economic status, and risk. This article draws on ethnographic data collected in 2016, including semi-structured interviews and participant observation. This article uses a stratified risk framework to describe the central finding of this study, which is that men's experience in Kataba is characterised by a struggle to fulfil the provider role that constitutes a core aspect of their socially ascribed gender role. In a context of economic scarcity, men's lives are fraught with strain and this intersects with other forms of risk. Finally, by focusing on community vulnerability rather than individual risk, this work contributes to theories of gender and sex work, and informs HIV/AIDS praxis.
本文考察了生活和工作在乌干达坎帕拉一个低收入性工作者社区中的男性的健康、经济不确定性、霸权男性气质和脆弱性的社会模式。这使人们对弱势群体在人口结构、经济地位和风险方面具有同质性的观点提出了质疑。本文利用 2016 年收集的民族志数据，包括半结构化访谈和参与式观察，使用分层风险框架来描述本研究的主要发现，即卡塔巴男性的经历的特点是努力履行提供者的角色，这是他们社会赋予的性别角色的核心方面。在经济匮乏的背景下，男性的生活充满了压力，这与其他形式的风险相交织。最后，通过关注社区的脆弱性而不是个人的风险，这项工作有助于性别和性工作的理论，并为艾滋病病毒/艾滋病实践提供了信息。
