AB OBJECTIVES: Studies of the heterosexual transmission of HIV have pointed
to the need to encourage the development of skills for sexual
negotiation amongst women so as to reduce their vulnerability to HIV.
This multisite study, supported by the Social and Behavioural Studies
and Support Unit of WHO/GPA, aims to examine patterns and processes of
sexual negotiation between women and men in Indonesia, Mexico and
Senegal. METHODS: Two samples of sexually active women are included at
each site--sex workers and non-sex workers. Data is being collected
using in-depth interviews, focus groups, participant observation and
participatory group sessions. When possible, data is also being
collected from male partners. RESULTS: Preliminary findings include (i)
descriptions of gender relations in the area of sex, especially with
regard to protective behaviour, (ii) patterns and processes of sexual
negotiation, (iii) contextual factors affecting these patterns and
processes, (iv) women's view of sexual negotiation and their
role--present and potential--in it, (v) women's awareness about HIV/AIDS
and level of risk perception. DISCUSSION: The above findings will be
used to interrogate the concept of sexual negotiation, and to identify
possible interventions that will empower women in the process, and/or
which are oriented to women's needs and realities.
