Collaboration between traditional and biomedically trained health workers is regarded as key in HIV/AIDS control. However, few studies have focused on exploring ways of enhancing this collaboration. Using a pre- and postintervention questionnaire, the authors assessed changes in attitudes to and practices of collaboration among 19 biomedical and 28 traditional health care providers following a 12-month dialogue-building intervention in Ndola, Zambia. The intervention consisted of peer group discussions, interactive group discussions, training sessions, and peer-influenced networking. The results show that although both groups of providers had fairly positive attitudes toward each other before the intervention, further improvements in attitudes were observed after the intervention. Referrals between the two sectors and cross visits increased. However, some attitudes to collaboration became more negative and cautious after the intervention. Dialogue-building interventions involving traditional and biomedical providers are not only feasible but also complex. Intersectoral collaboration needs time and coordination between all relevant actors in the community.

Research conducted in 2018 regarding the use of condoms among female sex workers (FSW) in Sanur, Denpasar City, found that condom use had beed promoted, but there were still FSW who did not use condoms when dealing with customers. Gianyar Regency is an area with the second highest direct FSW after Denpasar City. Gianyar Regency has many locations and points of sexual transactions. One of the wellknown locaizations in Gianyar Regency is the one along the Baypass Ida Bagus Mantra. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct an exploratory study of STIs and HIV/AIDS prevention behavior in female sex workers in Gianyar Regency. This study used a qualitative method with purposive sampling technique on 15 informants consisting of female sex workers, pimps and friends/customers by conducting indepth interviews. The results showed that even though the use of condoms had been encouraged, there were also participants who did not use condoms when dealing with custumors. They mostly argued that their partners did not like the use of condoms in sexual intercourse. The low use of condoms is related to economic factors. If they use a condoms for sexual intercourse, it will reduce the income of FSW. In the prevention of STIs and HIV/AIDS, most FSW never did an HIV test

Abstract Introduction The issue of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) cannot be solved without considering the transgender population. This research aims to describe the knowledge, attitudes and sexual behaviors of transgender individuals faced with the risk of STIs and HIV/AIDS in Benin. Methods Transgender individuals were selected by respondent-driven sampling throughout the country in 2017. Included in this analysis were individuals who identified as transgender and adopted its mode of expression, aged 15 years and greater, and who gave their consent to participate. Results A total of 308 transgender individuals were surveyed, of which 89.6% were of male gender at birth. The participants had a good level of knowledge in the matter of STI and HIV/AIDS. In fact, 99.9% among them cited at least one symptom of STIs; 95.1% cited the three main methods of transmission of HIV and 54% are aware the risk of sexual transmission of HIV is higher between men. Participants were more than 90% likely to declare a positive attitude to care for persons living with HIV (PLWHIV) or to share the same room with them (93.2%). Concerning sexual behaviors, the average age at the first sexual encounter as a transgender individual was 14 years old. During the last three months, transgender individuals declared three regular male partners on average. The usage of condoms during the last sexual intercourse was reported in 86.6% of cases. Knowledge of the serological status of the sexual partner (31.7%) and the loss of sensation induced by the condom (26.8%) constituted the main reasons of non-usage of condoms. Conclusions Although adopting some risky sexual behavior, transgender individuals are a population that is relatively well informed and with favorable attitudes regarding STIs and HIV/AIDS. These factors are significant assets to be considered in the development of programs for STIs and HIV/AIDS control. Key messages Transgender individuals good level of knowledge is an asset for STIs/HIV control. Sexual multi-partnership seems to be common despite a good level of knowledge.

Objective: This study aimed to perform the national sex survey and to collect the basic data for establishment of the prevention strategies of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV/AIDS. Design and Method: This is a national survey performed on a sample of 2,500 individuals (1,273 men and 1,227 women) aged 18-69 years old. The online surveys were carried out on a national scale in South Korea. Subjects were randomly selected from resident registration. A structured questionnaire was developed which elicited information concerning: demographic information, information on their sexual behavior, sexual identity, prostitution, experience of STIs, and experience of sex education. Results: The majority of the subjects were either married or living with a partner. Mean number of sexual intercourse is 3.0±3.3 times a month. Mean sexual satisfaction score using visual analog scale is 63.2±24.6. Eighty-four percent had a fixed sex partner; 13.1% (22.6% of men; 2.5% of women) had experience through a speed dating or prostitution. 0.9% of men and 1.1% of women were sexually attracted to the same gender only, 1.5% of men and 2.0% of women were sexually attracted to both gender. 1.8% of participants had the experience of the STIs. Only 10.4% of the respondents had received sex education in the past year. Conclusions: We performed the National Sex Survey according to the nationwide distribution of population. It would be useful for establishment of the prevention strategies of STIs and HIV/AIDS. To control STIs and HIV/AIDS, powerful policies containing sex education and medical services will be needed.
