 AB    This study investigated AIDS and STD knowledge, risk behaviors and
       condom use among clients of female commercial sex workers in Bali,
       Indonesia. Although these clients were varied in their socioeconomic
       status, they all tended to have low levels of knowledge concerning HIV
       and STD transmission and prevention, multiple sexual partners, low
       frequencies of condom use with these partners, and experienced frequent
       STDs. Although HIV sero-prevalence rates are currently low in Indonesia,
       clients of CSWs are at high risk of HIV transmission. Given their high
       mobility and frequent sexual encounters with CSWs in other parts of
       Indonesia, these men could well be agents of rapid spread of the virus
       throughout Indonesia. Interventions to prevent the spread of the HIV
       virus must be targeted not only to CSWs, but also to their clients.
       These interventions should include educational activities concerning
       AIDS and STD transmission and prevention, condom promotion, efforts to
       improve condom availability, and activities to strengthen the health
       sectors' STD diagnosis and treatment capabilities for both CSWs and
       their clients.
