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.
