AB This study investigated knowledge, beliefs, and practices related to
STDs and AIDS among clients of low price sex workers in Bali, Indonesia.
These men are at high risk of STD and HIV transmission. They have poor
knowledge of the basic concepts of STD and HIV transmission and
prevention, and they practice a variety of ineffective prevention
strategies including partner selection and the prophylactic use of
antibiotics. They report a mean of 1.9 paid sexual partners in the
previous week and very low frequencies of condom use. Over 25% had
experienced an STD symptom in the previous 6 months, with self treatment
with antibiotics reported by a third. Recent experience of an STD was
related to the number of sex worker partners in the previous month and
to ever having used a condom with a sex worker. The implications of the
study findings for the development of comprehensive STD control programs
including educational campaigns, condom promotion, and the strengthening
of STD case management by health care providers are discussed.
