Approximately 20% of all new AIDS cases in Thailand are women of childbearing age. Women are particularly vulnerable to HIV infection because of the social and sexual practices of men frequenting prostitutes, even after marriage, and the inability of women to exert control on decisions regarding sexual health. Women's oppression in Thailand is discussed and a position made of the moral imperative to use counterhegemonic methodologies in the study of HIV risk and prevention in Thai women. Interpretive and critical research methodologies are reviewed, and a case is made for using critical hermeneutics as an approach for investigating women's oppression in Thailand and their vulnerability to HIV infection.
在泰国，所有新增艾滋病病例中约20%是育龄妇女。由于男性（即使婚后）经常光顾妓女的社会和性行为，以及女性无法对性健康相关决策施加控制，女性特别容易感染艾滋病毒。文中讨论了泰国女性所遭受的压迫，并表明在研究泰国女性的艾滋病毒风险和预防问题时，使用反霸权方法具有道德必要性。回顾了解释性和批判性研究方法，并论证了将批判性诠释学作为一种方法来调查泰国女性所遭受的压迫及其易感染艾滋病毒的情况。
