AB OBJECTIVE: 25% of STD clinic attenders come from the local hotel
industry. The project proposed to educate them on STD/HIV/AIDS, improve
STD health care seeking behaviour, and to motivate them to complete STD
treatment regimes. METHOD: Site visits made to hotels where interactive
group discussions took place on sex and sexuality and sexual health
using case studies, role plays and education cards. RESULTS: The hotel
boys are engaging in high risk behaviour and have a number of
misconceptions about wet dreams, masturbation and other sexual
practices. They usually seek treatment from quacks and do not complete
medication. 500 hotel boys have been reached to date with a reported
increase in hotel boys attending the STD clinic. DISCUSSION AND
CONCLUSION: It is important to first discuss issues related to sex and
sexuality before discussing safer sex practices and health care seeking
behaviour. During the discussion, the hotel boys opened up and discussed
frankly sexual misconceptions and problems. The existence of a local STD
clinic is essential to the continued improved health care seeking
behaviour.
