Clients and brothel managers are often the most powerful decision-makers regarding condom use in brothels, but since publicly promoting condom use is still "culturally" difficult in Indonesia, the most feasible way of reaching clients is through the female commercial sex workers (FCSWs) and their managers. The existence of quasi-official brothel complexes in many major Indonesian cities, however, does make the government a key player in promoting condom use within these complexes. Interweaving qualitative with quantitative studies, this paper, which is part of a larger study, reveals the FCSWs' client/managers-related determinants of condom use. Policies that will promote condom use in brothel complexes are critical to the prevention of the spread of HIV throughout this community, as well as from it to the greater community.
在妓院中，嫖客和妓院经理往往是关于是否使用避孕套的最有权力的决策者。但由于在印度尼西亚公开宣传使用避孕套在“文化上”仍然存在困难，接触嫖客最可行的方式是通过女性商业性工作者（FCSWs）及其经理。然而，印度尼西亚许多主要城市存在准官方妓院建筑群，这使得政府成为在这些建筑群中推广使用避孕套的关键角色。本文是一项更大规模研究的一部分，通过将定性研究与定量研究相结合，揭示了女性商业性工作者与嫖客/经理相关的避孕套使用决定因素。在妓院建筑群中推广使用避孕套的政策对于预防艾滋病毒在这个群体中传播以及从该群体传播到更广泛的社区至关重要。
