To research the knowledge of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases among young Australian tourists to Thailand, and their intended sexual behaviour.
A cross-sectional survey by anonymous, self-administered questionnaire, of persons seeking pre-travel medical advice in private clinics in five Australian cities.
213 consecutive patients travelling to Thailand without a spouse or partner.
Only 34% of the sample reported a definite intention not to have sex in Thailand. Regarding choice of potential partners: 24.5% more men than women said they would have sex with a Thai national; 13.7% of men said they would have sex with a "bar girl"; and 21.7% more women than men said they would choose a fellow Australian traveller. Eighty-two per cent of the sample reported that they would use condoms 100% of the time, and there was no significant difference between the number of men and women who expressed this intention.
Although not obviously "sex tourists", many young Australian travellers are likely to have sex while visiting Thailand. These data have important implications for education and prevention programs to control the spread of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and other sexually transmitted diseases.
研究前往泰国的澳大利亚年轻游客对艾滋病及其他性传播疾病的了解情况，以及他们预期的性行为。
通过匿名自填问卷对澳大利亚五个城市私人诊所中寻求旅行前医疗建议的人员进行横断面调查。
213名连续的前往泰国旅行且无配偶或伴侣的患者。
样本中只有34%的人明确表示无意在泰国发生性行为。在潜在性伴侣的选择方面：表示会与泰国人发生性行为的男性比女性多24.5%；13.7%的男性表示会与“酒吧女”发生性行为；表示会选择澳大利亚同行游客作为性伴侣的女性比男性多21.7%。82%的样本表示他们会始终使用避孕套，有此意愿的男性和女性人数无显著差异。
尽管许多澳大利亚年轻游客并非明显的“性旅游者”，但他们在访问泰国期间很可能会发生性行为。这些数据对于控制人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）及其他性传播疾病传播的教育和预防项目具有重要意义。
