International migration between Mexico and the United States has been acknowledged as a phenomenon that may contribute to the spread of AIDS in rural Mexico. The purpose of this study is to identify the information held by the participants regarding AIDS and to describe selected high-risk behaviors for AIDS transmission among a representative sample of rural women living in Mexico who are married to immigrant temporary workers to the United States. The women who participated in the study were married, of reproductive age, and had active sex lives with their spouses. Results revealed that most of the women interviewed had at least some knowledge about AIDS. Although some misconceptions were evident, most of the information they had was accurate. About one-third of the women felt at risk for AIDS, mostly because they doubted their husbands' fidelity, or because in the last five years they had donated blood, received a blood transfusion, or received an intramuscular or intravenous injection. The results of the study are discussed within the sociocultural context that surrounds the lives of the women interviewed.
墨西哥与美国之间的国际移民被认为是一种可能导致艾滋病在墨西哥农村地区传播的现象。本研究的目的是确定参与者所掌握的有关艾滋病的信息，并描述在嫁给前往美国的临时移民工人的墨西哥农村已婚妇女的代表性样本中，选定的艾滋病传播高风险行为。参与该研究的妇女均已婚，处于育龄期，并且与配偶保持着活跃的性生活。结果显示，大多数接受采访的妇女至少对艾滋病有一些了解。虽然一些误解明显存在，但她们掌握的大部分信息是准确的。约三分之一的妇女认为自己有感染艾滋病的风险，主要是因为她们怀疑丈夫的忠诚，或者因为在过去五年里她们曾献血、接受输血，或接受过肌肉注射或静脉注射。本研究结果将在受访妇女生活的社会文化背景下进行讨论。
